Like for the team to continue to be bad? No. Who wants that?

lol I love all these kids favorite players are guys not on the team

That made me lol

🤷‍♂️ I guess I just don’t see the appeal of pretending they are worse than they are or acting like I’m shocked that a bad team is playing bad thru April 15.

It’s April 15 and no one thought the team was good 18 days ago or whenever they began the season. You think they will be last in every offensive category at the end of the season? If a team is regressing and merits an organized “walkout” by the fans like some here are saying, I just figured they’d want more of the players from the good ol days before the regression.

He has played 1 game.

"The team is regressing" I just pulled up a random lineup from not too long ago and its Robbie Grossman Andrew Vaughn Gavin Sheets Eloy Jimenez Benintendi Korey Lee Bryan Ramos Nicky Lopez Braden Shewmake Out of these guys, who would make the current lineup?

Hahhhahahahahahahahahaha

Never knew Sosa was so beloved.

Gotta love Soxtalk. A post about two minor leaguers colliding in the outfield is seen as some dramatic grand big picture indictment of the organization and somehow related to the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets.

I'm going to the game on the 25th with a group of 5-6. Its also the same day as the Sox Crawl. Has anyone ever done it before? Is it worth it? https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/tickets/specials/sox-crawl/beer-bbq

I can't wait for warmer weather so Schriffen stops wearing that dumb jacket.

He'd get one if they took him out now.

Hahaha. That's insane. Potential Pitchergami

Just checked in on the game. I see Smith throwing the ball in the dirt with bases loaded in the 2nd inning and 50+ pitches. Send him down. I'd rather watch Cannon.

Schriffen's jacket looks dumb

Cease’s haircut and mustache looks like Nick Mullen from cumtown

I think Murakami-sama is the coolest.

Lol I imagine it would be like if an American went to play in Japan and they called him "The Kyoto Cowboy" I don't think its necessarily offensive, but its definitely corny.

We have 1 today

What are you talking about? They preferred one guy to be the 2nd-3rd catcher on the team over another guy. That's it. Its so insignificant. Who is "overselling" anyone on this move? Is this a bit? Explain how this has anything to do with LF. They chose a catcher making $1.2 over a catcher making $800k. That's a difference of $400k, which is half of the league minimum. AND that assumes they aren't recouping some of that money by trading Lee for cash considerations. AND that assumes they don't trade McGuire eventually and have to pay his entire salary. What impact does that have on LF? What were they going to do with that additional $0-$400,000 to fix LF? You think JR was cool with dropping Benintendi's $30+ million dollars before they signed McGuire and this changed it? Are you delusional?

No one is arguing they aren't cheap. It's embarrassing/pathetic that they have such a low payroll and probably had to move Robert's $20 million before doing other things this offseason. That said, even for their cheap asses, this isn't a lot of money. So I'm not sure why it matters, especially if your complaint is stinginess, that they prefer to pay a backup $1.2 million vs $800,000.

lol.... why are you trying to pretend Benintendi is on the team because they are paying Reese McGuire 1.5x the league minimum?

Because its 2026 and its not a lot of money. He's the 9th highest paid player on the team because they are rebuilding and a large portion of the team is still making league minimum, not because $1.2 million dollars is a lot of money in MLB terms. According to your thinking, if a team (hypothetically) had 22 very good starting caliber pre-arb players, it would be bad to spend a million dollars to sign a backup because that player would be a top 5 salary on the team. That's not how it works in real life.

I am not following. What does the salary of the backup catcher on a team from 21 years ago have to do with any of this? 1.2 million dollars is not a big amount in 2026. They aren't "investing" anything.
