I was told earlier this year that JR has business interests in Nashville. And making a good guess those interests are real estate. He owned the land when he wanted the stadium in Addison. He also owned the land in Tucson when he moved the team there for spring training. It could happen that a new stadium could be built on land he owns in Nashville. I just hope that if he moves the team to Nashville he tells us sooner rather than later so most of us would stop going to the games in Chicago.

Benetti signed a 2 year contract. He wanted out of the 2nd year. The White Sox said so be it. He's gone. It was his choice to go. I wish him the best. I'm more interested to see what the White Sox do about their TV contract. Their present local TV contract expires after the 2024 season.

Good signing. Things are starting to get better!!!!

I read the other day that the Bulls attendance is starting to go bad. Bulls fans are finally tired of paying big money to see a losing team.

I don't think moving the team is a realistic option. I thought for sure that the Rays would be the one team moving. I don't anybody thought they would agree to build a new stadium at their present location. The Orioles won over 100 games last year and the owner of the Orioles has already said he won't be able to afford his players in a few years. There are worse situations in MLB than what the White Sox are going thru.

When they traded Burger they said they had too many DHs. If they trade Eloy they won't have anybody to DH. They also won't have anybody batting behind Robert Jr. Robert Jr will be pitched around with nobody batting behind him protecting him.

I'm afraid that Cease and Eloy are going to be traded and the White Sox get very little in return. If that's the case I think its better to keep them.

Bruce Levine has said the White Sox are going to trade for pitching and defense this off season. If that's true why trade Cease the teams best pitcher? Getz should approach Cease and try to extend him and go on from there.

I've read a number of times that Cease would be willing to sign a long term contract with the White Sox. Why not just sign him?

The White Sox scored 3 or less runs in more than half of their games in 2023. Why trade Eloy when he's one of their best hitters? It wouldn't surprise me if he hit 40 home runs next year.

I agree with you. If you trade Eloy who is going to bat behind Robert Jr? If you don't have a decent bat behind Robert Jr the opposing teams will pitch around him.

Win or lose I renew my tickets every year. I love the team, love where I sit, like parking in the parking lot and I like the food at the stadium. Looking forward to Opening Day and a much better season of baseball.

They had one of these in the 1990s at the ballpark. I believe it was after the strike. I looked it up. They called it Winter Warm Up at the ballpark. It was held February 11+ 12, 1995. It was a mini Soxfest.I still have the program from it. It was a good time. I hope they have it again.

Some people think that Cease won't bring that much in return. If that's true why not simply keep him on the team and resign him? Cease indicated last year that he would be willing to sign an extension with the White Sox. Maybe I'm missing something here but if Cease is traded who's going to be the Opening Day starter, Kopech? It would be a good PR move if Cease was given an extension.

Do you remember when Frank Lane traded Rocky Colavito for Harvey Kuenn? It almost destroyed the Cleveland franchise. Lane also wanted to traded Stan Musial when he was with the Cardinals. The Cardinals owner overruled Lane and Lane then left the Cardinals, Lane had success with the White Sox and little success with the other teams he ran.

Getz has said the team has to become more athletic. Isn't Robert Jr the only athletic person on the team?

Trading Luis Robert Jr would be the greatest PR disaster the team has had since the White Flag trade.

I think Its too much money for a manager. Especially one who has never won a pennant or a World Series.

Other than I hope the Cubs lose every game I simply have no interest in what they do. I haven't been to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field since 2002. I could have gone to the 5th game of the 2016 World Series for nothing, I took a pass. You keep mentioning Eddie Einhorn in your posts. He was the one who wanted to move the team to Florida. When that didn't happen he sold most of his White Sox stock to JR and left the scene.

I really don't care what the Cubs do. I do think its crazy to give a manger $40 million dollars.

Grifol must not have wanted Anderson on the team. If Grifol had wanted Anderson they would have picked up his option.

I've always believed that a man must be in love with his work, his wife and the White Sox for total happiness.

I'm grateful I'm a White Sox fan. What more could anybody want in life?

Go to YOUTUBE and look at the work being done on the Cleveland Stadium. It has to be costing some serious money. The White Sox stadium is 2 different ballparks. The lower level is wonderful and the upper deck is terrible.

Cleveland recently extended their lease at the present stadium. They are spending some serious money on the present stadium this off season. Their upper deck is being torn down entirely in right field. Nobody wants to sit up there. I can't help but wonder if the White Sox extend the lease on their stadium if the stadium gets redone. If Cleveland can knock down their upper deck I wonder if the upper deck at the White Sox stadium will be knocked down also. The present upper deck has been hated since the stadium opened. Nobody wants to sit up there.
