Anthony Santander signs with TOR 5/$92.5
Hits homers off bad pitchers. Probably won't help if they reach the playoffs.

Sox Sign RHP Jonathan Heasley to minor league deal/NRI
I do too. It's called not buying tickets from the White Sox until 2026 at the earliest.

White Sox ZiPS Projections
Noticed Peyton Pallette and Adler missing from bullpen estimate. I think they'll both be up by the All Star break . Maybe the pen will end up at zero. Could bump us up to 58 wins. That's the good news I guess.

Could Getz Have an Actual Master Plan?
Getz is too dense to have a real plan. I will give him credit for one thing. He appears to have figured out that more baserunners equals more runs scored. He's now trading for guys who will take a walk. Say what you will, but Ken williams and Rick hahn never could grasp that in over 20 years with the Sox. That one single fact makes him an improvement. The true test though is being able to tell the difference between athetes and actual baseball players.

Orioles add Kittredge to high leverage corps
when the Sox sign a guy like this, he ends up straning his groin walking in from the bullpen.....on opening day.

Mlb.com poll has Sox with 4th best farm
we're 4th after trading everyone. any other team could do the same. the trick is to draft and develope good players. that way you don't go 41-121. my january cynicism is starting to boil up to the top.

Amaya. He gone. UPDATE: He back.
He was solid in the field. Still, you have to hit something. Seemed like a decent guy. Good luck in the future.

White Sox sign LHP Martin Pérez
Perez' best attribute has always been his health. league average healthy pitcher is easily worth 5 million. He'll probably feel a little queasy many times this summer though.

Sox Acquire Tyler Gilbert for Aaron Combs, DFA Braden Shewmake
probably could have waited for 2 bad outings in spring training to get these 2 junkball lefties free. aaron combs might end up being useful. sad part is if i know this our GM should too.

White Sox are interested in RHP Jakob Junis
I long for the day when we acquire players to help us win. Getting guys in hope of flipping them at the trade deadline for a prospect is kinda like drinking Miller 64.

Crochet Traded to Boston
that makes you the smartest poster on Soxtalk by a mile.

Vargas and Fletcher have to play . . . be given every chance to succeed . . . Right?
I'd much rather play Bryan Ramos than Vargas at 3rd. Before he strained his stomach muscle, BR looked like a MLB player. Unfortunately that type of injury takes a while to get over. The last month of the season he was back to doing what he always has in the past. He's solid at 3b, is athletic and can hit. He's also 2 1/2 years younger than Vargas. Let MV fight it out with AV for 1B and DH. Hell, try him in LF against lefties. Just leave Ramos at 3rd. He is the closest thing we have to a MLB ready prospect.

Best front office in pro sports
The guy who voted for the bears has the same agent as Poles, Eberflus and Shane Waldren.

Teoscar Hernandez signs with the Dodgers
I'd say there's a 70% chance you get your way.

Greg Gumbel R.I.P....
RIP Greg. I remember watching him on channel 5 as a kid. Really good at what he did.

White Sox asking for "top prospects" for Robert
Trade this turkey ASAP. The last link to a disastrous past. One top 100 and a young lottery ticket. I hate being harsh about Luis because he's not really an a#$hole. But that ship has sailed and the quicker we get to 2026 the better.

CHGO layoffs...
My son is friends with Vinnie. I met him last year up in Michigan on vacation. Nice, smart young man. Sorry to hear about his misfortune.

Sox Trade Cash to Cubs for Matt Thaiss
That's pretty funny. Like JR would ever give someone a bonus.

Vlad Jr turns down $340 mil
Take the cash Vlad. Every athlete is one injury away from disaster.

White Sox Top 10 Prospects (BA)
Kinda weird the Sox are deep at 2B and catcher. Don't remember the last time it happened. If new Monty or King George pan out in right, we'll hit the trifecta at our 3 worst spots.

Crochet Traded to Boston
At least one of those guys is from this century. LOL
-
Crochet Traded to Boston
Monty hit .340 in college with a good amount of walks. Is that good? What did AVaughn do?
