A lot of teams technically in it, but the way things are shaking out lately: National League - Brewers and Cubs American League - Yankees and Red Sox

Youth has the advantage of having a longer view. For my own reasons, I hoped they'd make a run this season. Oh well.

Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal - Cue "Experiment in Terror" -Henry Mancini... for those who recall "Creature Features" late Friday nights on WGN.

Bonemer...LOL. It is a little late to conduct that experiment.

Getz refused to trade top prospects to improve THIS team. Was that a decision that JR made? What a stupid, short-sighted strategy. Next year is not guaranteed. Murakami could leave after next year anyway. So wait for Ishbia the savior for 5 years or so. He will have Roch, Bonemer and a few other guys in the Minors and his Private Equity Investment firm can leverage debt.

Next season? LOL May never happen and for most true Sox fans, it was not OK to punt this season. White Sox needed a good catcher at the trade deadline. Not next year. There were catchers available before the trade deadline and Getz could have traded for one. However, every team that had a good catcher required prospects. Colorado wanted a #1 prospect plus more for Hunter Goodman. Orioles had a similar ask for Adley. Not sure what the Mets wanted. So why punt a great season just to keep Caleb Bonemer or Carlson. or any other Minor leaguer? Do people understand how hard it is to be in first place in August. WSox have plenty of infielders and don't have any need Bonemer. He is surplusage. Sox could have had Rutchsman or Hunter Goodman but instead, they trade for Bart and probably pizzed away the season.

A lot of vindictiveness, name-calling and one-upmanship here. It has to be slapped down from time to time. So leave 2023 alone you mofos.

You are a clown.

Braden is in his first year and is learning. Same with Antonacci and other young players like Chase. You add nothing by stating the obvious.

I agree to some extent but in order to trade for a Hunter Goodman, you need to expend prospect capital. You don't sit on it, and that is what they did.

Historically, that has been the case, But I think we miss the point about what JR/Getz, et.al., needed to do to improve THIS team for THIS pennant run. The Sox needed/need a top of the line catcher like Hunter Goodman. They also needed a TOR starter and a lights out Closer. Unfortunately, Getz and the WSox announced that they would not be trading from from their top prospect pool, including Calab Bonemer. So they decided to stand pat and meanwhile try to create fancy dealsfor Bart and Castillo. twp players that were never going to be game changers. They hoisted the white flag,,,,again. OK The Sox saved prospect capital but they shouldn't have, not this year. This is the team and this was the season to go for it, it being however far they could go. Now 2027 season may not happen and the Sox may not be able to sign Murakami. And the core of this 2026 team might be whittled away with foolish trades, injuries, etc. They should have gone for it this season, There is nothing guaranteed about tomorrow in life or in sports.

Ill take that s%*#
