There has been talk on this site that Robert Jr, Benintendi and Tauchman might all be traded at the deadline. It is possible that all three might be traded. That would leave the team with an outfield of Taylor, Baldwin, Slater and Robertson. Obviously that would be one real bad outfield. I wonder if they would bring up Braden Montgomery. Who else would they bring up to play the outfield?

1) its not located in a popular location. 2) The upper deck is horrendous. Nobody wants to sit up there. 3) People on this site complain about the parking lots surrounding the stadium. I think the parking lots are one of the positives about the stadium. Most of their fans are from the suburbs and its easy to park there. The cost of the parking ($27.00) is decent as opposed to other MLB stadiums. I talked to fans of the Guardians and Giants on the last homestands and they mentioned how much more expensive it is to park their cars at the stadiums in Cleveland and San Francisco. Also White Sox fans like to tailgate in those lots.If they removed those parking lots at the stadium I think it would be a serious mistake.

Its going to cost at least $900 million for the infrastructure for the 78. They are not going to spend that for 20 Chicago Fire soccer games. The 78 needs the White Sox at that location. The $900 million will come from the TIF funds.

Obviously it doesn't bother JR one bit. The team lost 121 games last season and did nothing this past off season to improve the team. This present team has a dreadful record in one run games. All that needed to be done was to acquire a couple of hitters this past off season. I still think the game plan is to have the lowest payroll in MLB.

I collect White Sox items. I've been trying to get an autographed 2024 White Sox team baseball without any success. Even my season ticket rep couldn't help me.

If you offer them the most money, they will listen. I realize that JR isn't going to do that.

I wonder how they are going to market this team in 2026. This year was promoted with this being the 125th year of the franchise and also the 2005 20th anniversary. They've had wonderful promotions this year. The bobbleheads and other giveaways have been great. I hope they continue that next year. Other than the giveaways I don't know how they can promote this team.

All I know is that this team needs at least 2 real good hitters. If that isn't done this off season, 2026 is going to be another lost season.

Sign Josh Naylor and Kyle Tucker this off season'

I'm hoping Elko is given a decent chance this time. Keep him in the lineup every day and lets see what he does.

If Ishbia is going to give money towards a new White Sox stadium I wish he would say that. The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned. I still can't see the City of Chicago spending all that money on infrastructure at the 78 on 20 soccer games a year. The 78 needs a White Sox stadium to justify spending all that infrastructure money.

If what you're saying is true, that they were close to a deal on the new Bears stadium. If something is done in the fall session, I would like to think that some sort of deal will be worked out for a new White Sox stadium.

I read where the team has called up Tristan Gray.

1) I think its easy to see that Tim Elko has no place withe White Sox. I think the decent thing to do is either release him or trade him. That being said this organization seems to have falling in love with Ryan Noda. He looks like he couldn't hit me. 2) I know that Steve Stone signed some long term contract withe White Sox this off season. It seems like he is annoucing less and less. If the game plan is to replace him I think that Dan Plesac would be a good replacement. He seems to like working for the team and i hope they keep him announcing the games.

The team is weak in the outfield. If either Teel or Quero get traded, I would hope it would be for an outfielder.

I wouldn't be surprised if they traded either Teel or Quero.

The Browns just announced that their new suburban domed stadium will be $2.6 billion dollars. Seems odd that the Bears proposed stadium is double the cost of the Browns stadium.

Baldwin got 2 hits tonight. I hope he's not sent down to the minors.

No strike and no lockout.

You keep saying there is going to be a lockout/strike in 2027 I don't see it happening. It would be another PR disaster for the sport. I think the only thing that will change will be the deferred payments and I would think that should be worked out. I read where the Dodgers have over $1 billion dollars in deferred payments. Teams do this to avoid the luxury tax.

JR use to respond to my letters until I wrote him asking to be interviewed for the GM job. After that he wouldn't respond to my other letters about other things. It was a shame because I thought i had some good ideas about improving the fan experience and other matters. I've been a season ticket holder for 35 years. You would think he would have the decency to at least respond to me.

The trading deadline is coming up so I thought it was time to post some rumors I'm hearing. The Mariners want Vargas and the Houston wants Benintendi.

The NFL offer is $300 million dollars.

Assuming they build a stadium at the 78, the longer they wait to start building the stadium, the more it will cost. The Bears have said a number of times that they wanted to start building their new stadium this year. They maintain that the longer they wait the more it will cost. I'm told the Bears simply don't have the money for a new stadium. They have $2 billion dollars and need another $3 billion dollars which they don't have.

I would feel better about this stadium situation if the White Sox made some announcement one way or another.
