That’s a weird take

There will be no big stories no matter what the Sox do this season.

That’s where I am with most sports now. I love the games, hate the money in the pro and now college. Went to a couple SuperSectional games this week and saw some great basketball and had a better time than I would watching the Big Ten Tournament or whatever pro games are on this week.

Seven months till the season is over.

They don’t really show up when they are good in the recent past. Add five more years of irrelevance and that will be worse.

Having a story about a guy saying “Yeah … I’ll take less money to play elsewhere” is not really a positive.

Ugh

This does not seem like a great idea. For the Red Sox that is.

With what we have read about the behind the scenes operations of this organization there’s a good chance none of the former players would want to come back. Even Abreu took shots on his way out. He probably wants to stay far away.

110 feels right

They also closed with the second worst team. Can’t count on that each month.

No reason not to mock it though.

Having never heard him talk about himself in the third person I wouldn’t bet on it.

No need to be depressed. You have to be able to laugh at things, especially things that don’t really matter- like sports.

Hahn at least got a couple decent years out of some of the prospects he acquired through trades. Let’s wait for one of Getz’ stable to reach an All Star game before we compare him to Hahn.

I have Florida Gators season tickets which start in a few weeks. They’ve reached the CWS the last two years. At least that’s some enjoyment out of baseball.

I think they've overestimated the Sox chances of making the playoffs.

If I were a betting man it would be easy to bet that they did not nail it this time either.

I’m not sure that’s the “own” you think it is.

Chris Getz belongs in a mental institution.

I’m not sure you know what collusion means if you’re suggesting the Sox, on their own, are colluding be uncompetitive. There is now a more balanced schedule than pre-2024. Three AL Central teams were among the final four in the AL. The East and West should have beat them when they faced them in the playoffs. They should get better, not collude to help the White Sox.

That’s a wild assumption that Semien and Tatis would be as productive if they stayed in the White Sox organization.

Why would fans post their resumes here? It's not like the White Sox did a search.

Well said.

In most jobs doesn’t failure at a lower level imply failure at a higher level? If a teacher sucks at teaching what would suggest success as principal? And why would anyone promote such a failure? Why not promote Grifol to GM if past success is irrelevant?
