I'm hoping Elko is given a decent chance this time. Keep him in the lineup every day and lets see what he does.

If Ishbia is going to give money towards a new White Sox stadium I wish he would say that. The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned. I still can't see the City of Chicago spending all that money on infrastructure at the 78 on 20 soccer games a year. The 78 needs a White Sox stadium to justify spending all that infrastructure money.

If what you're saying is true, that they were close to a deal on the new Bears stadium. If something is done in the fall session, I would like to think that some sort of deal will be worked out for a new White Sox stadium.

I read where the team has called up Tristan Gray.

1) I think its easy to see that Tim Elko has no place withe White Sox. I think the decent thing to do is either release him or trade him. That being said this organization seems to have falling in love with Ryan Noda. He looks like he couldn't hit me. 2) I know that Steve Stone signed some long term contract withe White Sox this off season. It seems like he is annoucing less and less. If the game plan is to replace him I think that Dan Plesac would be a good replacement. He seems to like working for the team and i hope they keep him announcing the games.

The team is weak in the outfield. If either Teel or Quero get traded, I would hope it would be for an outfielder.

I wouldn't be surprised if they traded either Teel or Quero.

The Browns just announced that their new suburban domed stadium will be $2.6 billion dollars. Seems odd that the Bears proposed stadium is double the cost of the Browns stadium.

Baldwin got 2 hits tonight. I hope he's not sent down to the minors.

No strike and no lockout.

You keep saying there is going to be a lockout/strike in 2027 I don't see it happening. It would be another PR disaster for the sport. I think the only thing that will change will be the deferred payments and I would think that should be worked out. I read where the Dodgers have over $1 billion dollars in deferred payments. Teams do this to avoid the luxury tax.

JR use to respond to my letters until I wrote him asking to be interviewed for the GM job. After that he wouldn't respond to my other letters about other things. It was a shame because I thought i had some good ideas about improving the fan experience and other matters. I've been a season ticket holder for 35 years. You would think he would have the decency to at least respond to me.

The trading deadline is coming up so I thought it was time to post some rumors I'm hearing. The Mariners want Vargas and the Houston wants Benintendi.

The NFL offer is $300 million dollars.

Assuming they build a stadium at the 78, the longer they wait to start building the stadium, the more it will cost. The Bears have said a number of times that they wanted to start building their new stadium this year. They maintain that the longer they wait the more it will cost. I'm told the Bears simply don't have the money for a new stadium. They have $2 billion dollars and need another $3 billion dollars which they don't have.

I would feel better about this stadium situation if the White Sox made some announcement one way or another.

Wouldn't it be something if they brought up Colson Montgomery (who hasn't hit) to the majors and kept Baldwin and Elko in the minors. (Both have hit in the minors)

This team can't hit. Last night they had the bases loaded twice with only one out and couldn't score. That has been the story in 2024 and this season. They don't have any hitters at triple AAA who evidently can help them. Although both Baldwin and Elko are hitting well but obviously don't figure in the teams plans. The only way this team will get better offensively is if they sign some free agents who can hit. If they don't 2026 is going to be another lost season. The thing that disturbs me is that this losing doesn't seem to bother JR. He seems content with this situation.

I don't see a lockout coming. The players will never agree to a salary cap. The only thing worth discussing is the deferred payments.

Eloy suffered a serious injury in that spring training game. He never recovered. He lost his power. He's back in the minors and can't hit there either.

Some of the things done by Getz has baffled me. I don't know how he can justify keeping Baldwin and Elko in the minors but yet keep Capra and Noda on the team. Some of this just hasn't worked out. I don't think anybody saw the career of Robert Jr collapse, They were counting on Colson Montgomery being a core piece. That hasn't happened and he appears to be a lost cause. It seems like the only offensive player in the minors who Getz values is Braden Montgomery and I think he doesn't figure into their 2026 plans. There have been reports ( Bruce Levine) that the team is going to spend some money on offense this off season. We shall see.

A retractible roof would add millions of dollars to the cost of the stadium.

Its called losing on purpose. The team simply can't hit.

I'm under the impression the TIF funds are going to be used for the infrastructure at the 78. I can't believe the City of Chicago is too thrilled about spending millions of dollars on 20 soccer games a year. Putting a BB stadium with the soccer stadium at the 78 site makes more sense. I would think the White Sox ownership (either present or future) has some game plan in regards to a new stadium. I just wish they would tell us what the plan is. Even if the plan is to extend the lease at the present stadium. So be it, let us know.

There have been comments about it would be wrong to bring up Colson Montgomery. I don't see the harm in it. Could he possibly be worse than Capra? What do they have to lose by bringing him up?
