  1. The 2024 White Sox could not hit nor could the bullpen get anybody out. Getz has done nothing to improve those 2 areas. Evidently not improving those areas are part of his master plan and i think its terrible. i wish i could see this nightmare turning around sometime soon but I can't see it happening.
  2. That is not counting the national TV money. The total is somewhat near $400 million. Also,some people have said the team hasn't been making money. If the team was losing money JR would sell the team in a heartbeat.
  3. 2025 will be one of the most profitable years for the White Sox. Low payroll= big profits for ownership. The team grosses about $400 million. The team lost 100 games in 2018 and was the 6th most profitable team in MLB. They should be in the top 5 most profitable teams in MLB in 2025.
  4. Obviously JR has accomplished what he wanted. Low payroll and losing team.
  5. A team becomes better with better players. When JR bought the team he bought a bad team. He went out and signed Fisk and Luzinski. Those signings made the team better. Now I realize he's not going to sign anybody decent. He wants a low payroll. If this team ever gets a new owner I would expect he would sign some free agents for some big money just to let fans know that better days are coming. Also, has anybody noticed that JR has completely disappeared from the media? He's probably afraid to meet with the media and answer questions about the White Sox.
  6. Both Tanner Scott and Jeff Hoffman are still free agents. They would improve the White Sox bullpen. Looks like the front office has no interest in signing either one or improving the team. This losing on purpose is terrible.

    Would we be

    New ownership might move the team.

    Would we be

    It would be a tremendous thing from a PR standpoint. Problem is this ownership is content with a losing team and a low payroll. I read yesterday that there are only 3 players on the team making more than $2 million a year. I have no doubt ownership is going to keep having losing teams with low payrolls as long as possible. The franchise looks like it is in its darkest period in their modern history. This looks like a very hopeless situation.
  9. The 2024 White Sox team had one of the worse offenses and bullpens in their history. Nothing has been added this off season to make those areas better. This losing on purpose is really lousy. I realize that the low payroll will make the franchise one of the most profitable teams in MLB but still this whole situation is shameful.
  10. They still haven't released their promotion/giveaway schedule for 2025. I would think they would have alot of giveaway days.
  11. Eloy could have been the White Sox DH. To the best of my knowledge the team does not have a DH.
  12. Eloy was never the same hitter after he got hurt in that 2021 Spring Training game.
  13. I would think that Cleveland fans have to be upset that Naylor got traded for basically nothing.
  14. I read where the present White Sox stadium would be given to the females if the White Sox get the new stadium in the South Loop.
  15. The 2024 White Sox had the worst offense and bullpen in MLB. They have done nothing to improve these areas. This tells me they are content with this losing situation. We are probably witnessing the worst years in the teams modern history. Its absolutely shameful that this ownership doesn't care about putting a decent product on the field. You would think JR would have the decency to sell the team rather than just keep losing games year after year.
  16. It seems like ownership/management are losing games on purpose.
  17. I can't help but wonder, why did Houston trade Tucker?
  18. The 2025 White Sox could be worse than the 2024 White Sox team.But with a low payroll this will be one of the most profitable teams in MLB.
  19. The Bears agreed to tax conditions in Arlington Heights. Looks like some movement is coming.
  20. The youtube channel is by a popular man known as Depressed Ginger. He has a big following on youtube.
  21. I just saw a video on Youtube that claims the bonds needed for the proposed new Rays stadium was not passed. Good chance the Rays will move the team now. I remember when JR said that St.Pete was a better business model than the southside of Chicago. I also remember when Eddie Einhorn said Florida was the greatest opportunity for MLB since the Dodgers moved to LA.
  22. The Mayor of Chicago wants the new Bears stadium and is willing to listen on a new White Sox stadium. Some of the aldermen want the stadiums also, especially the one who is the aldermen in Bronzeville. ( which is now the preferred site of the Bears)
  23. I can't help but wonder about a conflict of interest in terms of the proposed new stadiums for the White Sox and Bears. Both teams want the hotel tax to be transfered to the new stadiums. The Governor of Illinois comes from a family that owns hotels. ( The Hyatt Hotels) The Governor does not want to transfer the hotel tax to the new stadiums. He wants the hotel tax to simply go away once the present leases expire. I would think this plays a roll in his resistance to transferring the hotel tax to the new stadiums. Numerous governments use these types of taxes to get stadiums built. If you rent a car in parts of Arizona you are paying a tax to pay for the Cubs spring training home. I don't see why that hotel tax can't be transfered to the new stadiums.
  24. The Sun Times has reported that the Bears are okay with building their new stadium at the Michael Reese site. Looks like there is some movement towards building it there. If the Bears get their new stadium it seems only right that the White Sox get their new stadium also. Wouldn't the same hotel tax pay for alot of it?
  25. Now that the election is over with I can't help but wonder if there is some type of movement towards the new stadiums of the White Sox and Bears. I've always found it interesting that the Block 78 has remained empty all these many years. You would think that something would have been developed there by now. I've always thought that nothing was developed there because there is only one way in and out there, from the north. You can't enter or exit there from the south, west or east part of it.
