Offseason Part 2 - Lets the Rumors & Action Begin
I'm a season ticket holder also. Judging by what I've seen on WHITESOX.Com/tickets there doesn't appear to be that many season ticket holders. I thought there would a bump after last years division championship. It doesn't appear like they didn't get much of a bump in season ticket sales. I can't help but wonder how many season ticket holders they have.

Offseason Part 2 - Lets the Rumors & Action Begin
I can't help but wonder what the attendance for the White Sox and other MLB teams is going to be this 2022 season. With gas prices and inflation going thru the roof I can't help but think that the attendance is not going to be that good this year. I'm no spring chicken and I've never seen inflation like this in my lifetime. Most people are not going to have that much disposable income on baseball games. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

White Sox Sign RP Joe Kelly (2yrs with a club option; $17m)
LaRussa just said that Kimbrel will be on the White Sox Opening Day roster.

I hope you're right.

Offseason Part 2 - Lets the Rumors & Action Begin
I can't believe any team would take Kimbrel. Nor can I see the White Sox getting anything decent for him. I hope I'm wrong. We shall see.

The MLB lockout is lifted!
I read where the TV money starts to kick in for the owners after the 28th game. If that's true it would appear that baseball won't start until the first week of May.

The MLB lockout is lifted!
Former MLB manager Lou Piniella was on Tv yesterday and said that the owners are dug in and they are prepared for a long lockout.

The MLB lockout is lifted!
In 1994 during the MLB strike I think the MLB owners took out strike insurance and the owners got paid millions of dollars as long as the players were on strike. This is a lockout, not a strike. Still, I wonder if the owners have some type of insurance that pays them money as long as the lockout continues.

The MLB lockout is lifted!
They're not meeting tomorrow. Monday is the last day of the meetings.

The MLB lockout is lifted!
I noticed that the Orioles, Brewers, Mets and Rays have released their promotional/giveaway dates. They must think the season is going to start on time. That being said i hope the White Sox release their promotional/giveaway dates.

RIP Roland Hemond
Larry Himes did a tremendous job with the White Sox. JR showed his appreciation by firing him. After JR fired him he went on every TV and radio station and badmouthed Himes relentlessly.

RIP Roland Hemond
I've always wondered what made JR replace Hemond with Ken Harrelson as the White Sox GM.

RIP Roland Hemond
I saw him at Soxfest a few years ago. I told him he should write a book about his MLB career. He never did. He told me the worse thing he saw in his career was how Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall dumped all over Tony Larussa.

Unprecedented financial flexibility…
Mellody Hobson (wife of George Lucas) bought 30% of the White Sox a few weeks ago. I wonder if she and her husband are the future owners of the team.

Offseason Thread
It was rumored that the White Sox wanted to extend Madrigals contract and he refused. When he wouldn't go for an extended contract, Hahn traded him.

Minnie Minoso, Buck O'Neil and Four Others Elected to the Baseball HOF; Dick Allen Screwed by One Vote
I always thought his low home run total (185/195) has kept him out of the HOF.

So What Do The Dodgers Do This Off Season To Get To Be As Good As The Braves?
Paul Sullivan has said that the Dodgers are going to sing Kris Bryant.

Offseason predictions thread
I never liked the trade of Madrigal. Its done and over with, what now? Maybe Hahn thought Hernandez would do well here and his 2022 option would be picked up. He didn't do well here and I would think his option won't be picked up. Wil Hahn sign a free agent or trade for a second baseman? All I know is the team has a big hole at second base and something has to be done about it. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

What to do with the abreu/vaughn/sheets/burger logjam in 2022?
Nobody seems to mention that Eloy was bad offensively the last month of the season. I don't know what happened. He seemed to have lost his power. Was he hurt? I hope he regains his power in 2022. If not, he's not going to help the team much.

Rick Hahn 2021 End of Season Press Conference
If Hahn leaves I'll write JR another letter requesting to be interviewed for the GM job.

We All Know What the Problem Is: Jerry Reinsdorf
Ill never forget how JR spoke about Larry Himes after he was fired. JR went on all the TV and Radio shows and dumped all over Himes relentlessly.

Madrigal
If they bring back Kimbrel his option would be $16 million.If they let him walk theres a $1 million buyout.
-
Madrigal
I would think that the White Sox won't pickup Kimbrels option. They also won't pickup Ceasars option. That being said, who will be the second baseman for the White Sox in 2022?
-
ALDS Game 2 - Chicago @ Houston - 1:07pm CDT
I think its fair to assume that Cesars option won't be picked up by the White Sox.

Its much more affordable as compared to the team on the Northside. I just hope they keep it affordable and I hope they don't keep raising the prices in the future.
