Not a sprained one as the initial diagnoses said a few days ago; from DVS story in the Sun-Times: Rojas has hairline fracture The news for infielder Josh Rojas is not as good. Venable said Rojas suffered a hairline fracture making a tag at third base Saturday. It wasn’t immediately known how much time Rojas, who initially thought he sprained the toe, will need to be ready to play. “Hopefully he’s back here with us soon,” Venable said. “From what I’ve heard, it’s pain tolerance. I don’t think there’s anything he can do running around out there that’s going to make it worse. It’s about him being comfortable and running out there. But obviously it’s fractured. He’s in some pain now. So we’ll give him his time to heal up and just do everything we can to support him.”

I'm assuming you are trolling because if you aren't I frankly don't know what to say. The only way they win 81 games is if a bunch of clubs forfeit games to them. As far as staying healthy, this dysfunctional organization can't go a week with out someone getting hurt. They thought Rojas only had a "sprained toe" wrong again doctor...it's fractured.

Cannon isn't impressing anyone this spring is he? Verlander looks like he can pitch until he is 55 (at least against the White Sox that is)

From DVS story this afternoon: Right-hander Mason Adams, projected to debut at some point this season but sidelined with a flexor strain in his right elbow, “is hoping for the best, praying for the best” in his recovery. “It’s tough but it is what it is,” Adams said two days after taking himself out of his start against the Reds. “Sets me up to deal with it. Rehab, and hopefully come back stronger and keep doing what I was doing.” Adams said another doctor will check the elbow before a timetable for his return is determined.

It is. Very depressing, the entire organization from ownership on down is depressing. I've been a fan now since 1960 when I was five. This will be my 64th season I have never in my life felt less hope than this year. It's really remarkable when you think about it how this franchise has been flushed right down the toilet. My thinking right now unless a miracle happens is I'll check the final score and that it. No sense wasting my time on anything else.

Define great please. If you mean only losing 110 games then I'm right there with you! 😆

Agreed, they look like Greek gods and are made of glass.

Three hits by the prospects. They take after the big club don't they?

I hope they actually win, the hell with all the rest. Besides it would probably be the only time in the entire season they are over .500.

See you next year Mason after TJS.

Given the overall state of Chicago sports right now (basically in the dumpster) why anyone would spend a great deal of time and/or money on any team is surprising to me. If any of these teams start to develop or show some real (not imagined) possibilities fans will start to reengage.

Exactly. Another one bites the dust. Dodgers don't look so stupid now do they signing all those pitchers?

I've never seen that anywhere before either in print or broadcast but anything is possible.

Sun Times is losing seven writers to buy outs all told including Rick Morrissey.

Daryl Van Schouwen of the Sun-Times announced he is taking a buy out and retiring at the end of spring training. He was the Sun-Times beat writer for 15 seasons. It will be interesting to see if the Sun-Times decides to keep covering the team with a dedicated beat writer. Remember the Tribune went a few years without doing so given the state of the franchise.

There were numerous games the past few seasons where they left double figure runners left on base in scoring position. Nothing has really changed regarding their hitting "philosophy" or comprehension it seems.

1-16 RISP for the White Sox according to the official box score. Embarrassing but it's not like we haven't seen this before a lot the past few seasons.

DeBartolo said he would move to Chicago and spend 20% of his time and business interests there. He was turned down for bogus reasons, the fact that he owned race tracks (i.e. so did Steinbrenner but that didn't seem to be an issue) and because he "supposedly" had connections with some Italian "families" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink SAY no more!) A big reason he was turned down was because he was going to spend big money on the franchise and the other owners were horrified at that prospect. He had already given Veeck money to sign LeFlore and Essian.

He had a very small percentage. Said selling out his share to JR was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made.

As long as JR still has control, Getz will get a long leash just like Kenny/Hahn did. Now when new ownership comes in he'll be out the door because they will want to hire their own people as most businesses do. From all indications they aren't going to have much of a 2027 season so the second half mention probably isn't going to be relevant.

Hey Luis Aparicio is only 90, I bet he can still play shortstop better than the stiffs and retreads currently on the roster! 😆

Verlander could be 55 years old and he'd still make the Sox look like little kids.

The only answer I can give you as to "why" with your questions is because JR is calling the shots and this is the way he wants things done.
