TLR baby! But only because they were foolish enough to bring him back and his presence haunts the org to this day.

We can talk about wasting Trout's prime, and never winning with two all time greats, but Moreno has spent serious money trying to win. Meanwhile Jerry had a team in first place, coming off an AL West title and an ALCS berth, with the regining AL MVP in the prime of his HOF career, the reigning Cy Young winner, with a legit shot at reaching the World Series, and he shut it all down over money. Winning doesn't matter if it costs too much.

Of all of the stupid ways Jerry has shot his team in the foot, 1994 takes the cake.

These are the White Sox afterall. Inexperienced at the MLB level and therefore cheap? Welcome aboard!

Big Dumper (a nickname derived from the man’s large ass) + A butt plug with his number on it. Kinda hard to read as anything but plugging the big dumper or something to that effect. Dude lives in infamy now though!

I can see 4 guaranteed with a few options. His body type typically doesn’t age well, and even if he were the outlier, it’s still a tough gamble. He’s a good but not great player, and I don’t see teams paying for front end production that doesn’t outweigh paying for the backend decline.

Seattle easily beats that offer to keep him. I'll be shocked if he signs for less than a 20M AAV.

The only hurt feelings are the ones complaining about fans giving the 2nd worst team in baseball F grades.

Motherfucker, you accused me of lying about living in Bridgeport and of fabricating proof. As well as insinuating that I was living in my mother's basement. Yes, you pick fights. Yes, you start s%*#. You troll and then get angry and defensive when called on it, usually resorting to personal attacks, as referenced in my first sentence. You don't speak for Sox fandom, and you don't get to be the arbiter of how to be a fan, FFS.

Beni still has 2 years left. Woof.

5 in the top 100 is great and all, but the top prospect being #38 out of 100 isn't something I can get too excited about. The system desperately needs top end talent to go along with quality depth.

Go Brewers Go Jays Go Phillies Go Mariners LCS’s w/o LAD, NYY, Red Sox, or Cubs would be very welcome.

Started 119 of 121 games at C, 38 at DH. Easily the single best season by a Catcher ever.

GET ON THE HORN GETZ

Jerry killed a generation or two of Sox fandom, that’s for sure.

What kid watches free tv anyways? There are far more ways to consume a product than what kids had when the Cubs were broadcast OTA on WGN.

The talent that played at a 67 win pace for the second half of the season? All of that talent? A quarter of whom were in the org before Getz took over? And they refused play to over all of the duds Getz did bring in? Please tell me your post isn’t serious…

What about 40 win seasons?

Lots of delusional people believe in themselves too…

Essential oil peddler feels more apt.

Sadly, dude isn’t gonna fire himself…

This is where I am too. Some of these kids look like they belong, but is that and or will that be sustainable? And does that translate to winning more games than they lose? Big fat TBD. 2025 was not devoid of positives, but on the whole they still lost 102, which earns an F. Even with some kids showing promise in the 2nd half, they weren’t playing >.500 baseball. They have a long way to go, and they are still being run by an incompetent boob working for one of the worst owners in the sport. Good luck getting over that hurdle.

102 losses isn’t a positive, and I don’t view a .419 winning percentage over a 70ish game sample as a positive either. Extrapolated over 162, we are talking about a 67 win pace. 67-95 isn’t significant progress, and we already know there won’t be major outside additions, and hopes for improvement will have to come internally. Unless a few of these guys turn into superstars, which doesn’t seem likely, we are looking at a 70 win core at best. You might be content with that, but don’t be surprised if others don’t share that view.
