I read on the CWS site that they think Montgomery could be switched to third base. Both Andersons and Moncadas contracts have 2 years to go. Maybe they might sign Anderson and put Montgomery at third base in 2025.

If the White Sox had moved to Florida they would have played in a Minor League stadium in Tampa during the 1989 season. (Al Lange Field) They would have moved into the Suncoast Dome in 1990. It would have been the biggest mistake of JRs life had he moved the team to Florida. He has said in the past that he would have sold the Bulls if he had moved the White Sox to Florida. So instead of being part owner of the Chicago White Sox, Part owner of the Bulls, Part owner of the United Center and part owner of the Chicago Tv station his teams are on, he would have been part owner of the Florida/Tampa Bay White Sox. The Tampa Bay Rays have been thru 4 ownerships already. If they don't get another stadium when the present lease runs out that team will move somewhere else. Another positive thing happened after the White Sox remained in Chicago. Eddie Einhorn left the scene. He was the one person who really wanted to move the team. When that didn't happen he sold most of his White Sox shares to JR and left Chicago.

I've given up on being the GM. JR doesn't respond to any of my letters anymore. Its really a shame because I've told him some of my ideas for the team/franchise and he doesn't respond to me. Oh well.

When I use to work for a living it was hard going to the White Sox games. Now that I'm retired I'm glad to be a season ticket holder. I'm in a 20 game package and I usually go to at least 30 games a year. I'm thankful to be able to do this. I love the team win or lose. Its the only team and only sport I care about and I'm glad to renew every year.

My feelings exactly!!!!

Over 90 wins.

Easily over 83. More like over 90.

I always found it odd that Einhorn was one of the owners here. He was never happy about anything. He was the one who wanted to move the White Sox to Florida and when that didn't happen he sold most of his shares of the team to JR and he then disappeared from the scene.

I can't imagine that Burger is going to be on the White Sox opening day roster. That being the case I would imagine that Burger won't be too thrilled being sent down to the minors again. If you can get Lopez for him in a trade, why not do it?

Other than the fact that the Cleveland stadium is in downtown Cleveland, ( The White Sox stadium should have been built in the South Loop) I think the White Sox stadium is better than the Cleveland stadium.

Cleveland extended their stadium lease last year. They are staying at their present location for another 20 years. The White Sox lease expires in another 5 years. They're not going to do anything major to the present stadium unless they renew the lease.

Jake Burger for Nicky Lopez? Why not? Burger isn't going to play for the White Sox. He's blocked at 3rd base by Moncada and blocked at DH by Eloy.

Be prepared to be surprised.

The White Sox are going to the 2023 Playoffs.

If both Stone and Benetti don't come back I can't help but wonder who would replace them. Would Kasper then do the TV?

Its going to be a Playoff year for the White Sox in 2023 IF the team stays healthy.

What happened to the White Sox signing Sanchez?

The team won 81 games in 2022 with numerous injuries. If the team stays healthy I can see the team winning 90 plus games which should put them in the playoffs.

The City of Chicago wants to spend over $2 Billion dollars redoing Soldier Field for the Bears. Can't help but wonder if the White Sox will see this and want some money for a new stadium.

I think its fair to say that JR has been a lousy owner. Still, to put up a billboard telling him to sell the team is a complete waste of money.

Looking back at the 1959 sale of the White Sox, I wish Finley had bought the team instead of Veeck.

AJ Pollock declined his White Sox option. I can't help but wonder if anybody will even sign him. And if somebody does sign him, I wonder if he's going to make any big money. I think he turned down $11 million from the White Sox.

I agree with you that they will want a new park. If thats the case, I wonder where it will be built?

Yes the window is still open. If the 2023 White Sox stay healthy they can win over 90 games and be in the playoffs.

Yes they own a percentage of it. Reports have them wanting a cable station where they would own everything. We shall see how this turns out. I would think if it happens it would be announced sometime on 2023.
