I mean if you want to overpay bums I suppose you can get high paid players. I don’t think you can get credible players to sign here.

At the time Wheeler turned them down it looked like their farm system produced some players. I don’t think credible free agents want to play for Chicago’s forgotten team, even in better years. They certainly don’t want to sign ten year contracts with them.

That fan blackmail never really worked in the past. I don't think there are enough of them at this point to move the needle.

I doubt much will change where the high dollar guys would want to come in three years. We have the recent example (Wheeler?) of a guy turning down more Sox money to go elsewhere. It's got to be much worse now.

I thought this was a thread from a different year and then lo and behold they just updated the presser.

What did he do to you?

I don't think credible coaches were ever an option.

He should have had to sleep in the bed that he defecated in for the rest of the season.

An equal combination of A, B, and C.

Not much different happens with Hinch. Go back a few years earlier to an alternate timeline when the White Sox act like a professional organization and are wise enough to sign Bryce Harper when the biggest spenders could not. Imagine this organization with a player who sells jerseys and basically pays for his own contract with jersey sales.

“Likely” is an overstatement.

It certainly seems that way. If I were a betting man that’s what I’d bet. They will probably win enough games to pick seventh or eighth in the 2025 season. Then, when they can’t pick in the top ten, they’ll lose 110.

That’s what this year should have been.

Getz has demonstrated no ability to pick up good prospects in trades. Hes been fleeced in every trade.

What’s the point? Getz couldn’t get anybody with a future.

Lou Brown from Major League.

They did it!!!! First team to win fewer than four games in a month! https://x.com/jeff_grzybowski/status/1818287724153225301

Looks like Sin City Soxfan.

Decent chance they get to 100 before September.

Imagine if they wasted a year with a legit GM.

This. Just call the game. You don’t have to be Dick Vitale or even a homer like Hawk. Just call the game like you enjoy the game of baseball.

Just can’t refrain from commenting though, huh? Couldn’t just read the thread title and say “It is a non issue, I shall not comment or even read it.”

False. Ozzie Guillen was cheered at the end when he was diminished. Carlton Fisk. Paul Konerko. Jose Abreu. Harold Baines. You make these blanket statements that have no basis in reality. One difference. The aforementioned never antagonized managers.

Why don’t you write Jerry Manuel and ask him to hu he chased Thomas out of town? Or ask Kenny Williams why he called Thomas an ass? You act like fans are the only people doing this for no reason and here you have people close to him who don’t like him. Doesn’t that provide you any clues at all?

At least Thomas had the decency to become a full time DH. The sight of him diving for balls is like Jimenez climbing walls. Something neither of them had any business attempting.
