2025 Bold Predictions
A healthy lineup of Robert, Benintendi, Vargas, Drury, Vaughn and Meidroth should be decent. I'm disappointed that Teel and Quero didn't make the team. Hopefully they will be brought up soon.

2025 Bold Predictions
If the team stays healthy I'm expecting the team to win at least 81 games, maybe more.

Passan address current challenges with TB/A's stadium situations, cites Sox and Royals predicaments
He also would have built a stadium for the team with his own money.

Passan address current challenges with TB/A's stadium situations, cites Sox and Royals predicaments
1) The Cubs draw at least 20% of their attendance from out of state fans. The White Sox have only said that out of state fans are LESS than 10% of their attendance. The perception that the area around the White Sox stadium has always hurt them attendance wise. 2) Everybody seems to assume that the new owner will want a new stadium at the 78. Maybe not, perhaps he will want to build anew stadium in some suburban area. I don't know where but I think its a possibility.

The original design of the present White Sox stadium didn't have this miserable upper deck. JR had the design changed because he wanted another level of suites. I remember when somebody named the upper deck the Reinsdeck.

Ishbia increasing minority stake in Sox
In all modesty, if I was hired as the GM and given a free hand this White Sox team would be much better than what it is now.

Ishbia increasing minority stake in Sox
Lets hope that something happens soon. Most White Sox fans aren't too optimistic about things turning around under the present ownership. I couldn't help but notice on Ticketmaster that the White Sox home opener has thousands of unsold tickets. New ownership would provide some hope for the future.

Ishbia increasing minority stake in Sox
When the White Sox agreed to stay in Chicago in the late 1980s and not move to Florida, JR said that having a team in Florida was a better business model than staying in Chicago.

I thought some news would breakout by now. Still hoping we hear something today.

Benintendi out 4-6 weeks with right hand fracture
If Braden Montgomery has a great spring training perhaps he is the new left fielder.

2025 Things to be Excited About List
I'm excited for another year of White Sox baseball. Its a new year and i'm hoping for better things in 2025. I renewed my season tickets recently and I'm looking forward to Opening Day 2025.

Ishbia increasing minority stake in Sox
I've read where something major will happen this Friday the 28th. I don't know how true it is but I can't help but wonder when this whole situation will be determined. I think that most White Sox fans want JR to sell the team. I'm hoping this is done sooner rather than later.

I can't help but wonder if all of this is really going to happen.

Mike Clevinger is back lol
It would have made more sense to sign Trevor Bauer.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
I've always thought that one of the reasons it has not been developed is because there is only one way in and out of there. You can't enter or exit from the east, west or south.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
The present ownership has no intention of renewing the lease at the present stadium. I doubt that new ownership will want to renew the lease so it will be curious to see how this plays out.

Sox Spring Training notes
I'm hoping he's the starting second baseman on Opening Day.

Sox Sign Joey Gallo to minor league deal, NRI
I'm not as down on the team as yourself and others are. I like the starting pitching rotation. I'm hoping that Montgomery, Meidroth, Quero and Teel provide something positive this season. If that happens things can turn around. The only thing I'm down about is the bullpen. I was hoping they would add some pieces to the bullpen this off season.

Its sure been quiet about new stadiums for the White Sox and Bears.

Rubenstein of O's pushes for salary cap
I don't know if a salary cap will ever be accomplished. Maybe something will be done about paying players with deferred money. I think the Dodgers have over $1 billion on the books in deferred payments.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
A temporary renewal might happen if something is being constructed but if its not being built in the South Loop, where else would it be built?
-
Sox looking at building in South Loop
Its going to be interesting to see how this plays out. The present ownership does not want to renew the lease at the present stadium. If there is new ownership maybe they might think differently about staying at the present stadium.

Off-Season Pass the Time Catch-All
Greg Maddux went into the HOF with no logo on his hat. I was hoping that Dick Allen would do the same thing.
