White Sox win draft lottery, will pick #1 in 2026
I am backing off of Chowlowsky a bit based in part on Josh Nelson's scouting but also considering the White Sox current needs vs long term needs. It's a bit of a crap shoot though.

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
I for one, am not going to kiss a billionaire's ass thinking he has some moral superiority or superior intelligence. OK he made billions through PEI. So you trust him? OK. I am not the only one that has concerns that The White Sox may abandon their historic home and leave taxpayers holding the bag while adjacent property values are adversely impacted. Oh sure no one else is concerned about that but me. MMFL.

I agree. After watching Fegan, who has been scouting Roch, I have my doubts about him. I would pick Grady Emerson who looks like he has the physical tools that Bobby Witt Jr has. Plus, I like our current infield and don't see where Roch would fit in....unless Colson keeps swinging at air. When Colson is right, he is a top SS . No reason to replace him for a few years, and then Grady Emerson takes over.

OK... let's see if Ishbia puts his money where his mouth is. So far I see a contingent contract between Shore Capital (not Ishbia's personal money) and Amtrak. He can do what Mansueto did with his own money and buy the rest of the 78, so what is holding him up? Why doesn't he address the stadium issues with the media, fans, and especially those who have a financial stake in these matters? The only public statements I have heard from Ishbia is that he confirms that he has nothing to do with running the White Sox including any of their day to day decisions (or, for all we know, future strategies, like signing Murakami). He can't, which makes him largely irrelevant to the 2026 team and maybe well beyond this season. What you imagine about Ishbia is all between your ears, it is all projection, i.e., this guy is going to personally guarantee hundreds of millions in player contracts.. spend a Billion of his own money on a stadium, knows or cares one hoot about the South side other than seeking maximum profits with the lowest risks possible. There is the Pope, and then there is this guy. Don't confuse the two.

At what point do we start to believe?
Without Mune for 6-8 weeks or maybe longer, it becomes harder to believe that the White Sox can win the Division. Mune was a Game changer.

Sam Antonacci Appreciation Thread
With Mune on the IL for a good part of the season, Sam has to be in the running for Rookie of the Year. This player's intensity reminds of Pete Rose. Sam and Chase Meidroth have been exceptional place setters. Too bad Mune is gone for a month or two...that injury kind of wrecked a potentially great season where he was driving in Sam, Chase and others.

I bet you had Prince in the cue.

Come on. Only a year and a half left on that deal....and maybe the Sox pay the rest of his 2026 salary... if they get a decent prospect in return.

Maybe bring Braden up and DFA Acuna.

Any gets hit again. LOL.

Getz is probably doing everything he can to trade Benintendi. If he can't get much in return, Benny stays.

This game should be like 10-0.

Fedde typically sucks and the heart of the order was coming up. Tomorrow is an off day. I like the move.

Colson pulling his head off the ball. Over-swinging.

To buy or sell...
Peters is a hitter that makes a lot of contact from his crouched stance. Since Opening Day he has been one of the most reliable hitters on the team when the team needs a hit late in the game. His defense in CF is Gold Glove caliber. His speed and quick jumps allow him to cover the gaps. Long term conviction? There hasn't been much of that over the past year or so for any player. Fans were ready to bury Colson, Chase and Vargas last season. Remember "I'm tired of the Vargas era" OK, Peters is ready to implode..

My guess - Braden will come up at the start of the next homestand.

The stats don't show what you would see if you opened your eyes.

Not going to replace Sam. .300 hitter who makes most plays and is learning the position. Not going to find a player that has his skill set.

High change fooled him.

Well Mune, Teel and Braden will change that calculation.

Pitcher's pitch. Can't blame Sam too much there.

Vargas guessed off-speed.
