This team blowing it like they are this season is the biggest fall from grace I've ever seen. This team deserves all the criticism it gets and probably more. The fact they didn't make the postseason in 2022 is ridiculous.

JR is going to slash payroll…and I don’t really blame him

I'm fairly convinced that this team would be in first place had Tony stepped away at the ASB. 

Door was open when Girardi and Maddon were fired.  Screw You Jerry.

Wow, the great Miguel CAIRO managed this game and the Sox looked as pathetic as ever.  But Tony is the real problem with these deadbeats…

Wow what a genius! This game shows that Tony doesn’t suck? False equivalence ftw!

Just keep chucking sliders out of the zone and we’re good. 

White Sox pitchers: oh so, throw him breaking pitches in the zone?

Better hope Oscar Colas is the s%*#, Yoan regains his talent again, Giolito gets his velocity back, and Eloy stays healthy. Cause next year is probably gonna suck if those guys don't get right. 

It ain’t over yet

They are slow rolling Colas, so he isn't starting here next season. Jerry more concerned with 2029 payroll than winning ballgames.

I just have a feeling Giolito gets traded.  Same with Vaughn.

Defense by Hendricks lost the game

Giolito, yes. Trading Vaughn would be all kinds of stupid.

It’s gonna be a Carlos Lee type situation where they trade a superior slugger in order to get more athletic and lefty.

It would be stupid but we have too many DH /1B types. Need to let one or two go and bring in some left handed bats.

Vaughn has value.....does Giolito?

Except that he refuses to do anything about the cause of this mess:  the dullard  front office, especially the GM.

No. Someone will take him on and give you a pittance. His money is movable. Congrats on having Davis Martin as your 4th starter. No problems there.

Let's hope it's not quite like it, because the return for Carlos Lee was a joke.
The value was that it created payroll space to sign players they needed.

Vaughn is going to bring back something valuable. Giolito not so much but may be worth the risk dangling him to a team that is willing to give him a shot to see if he has a turnaround season…Maybe that team does something crazy and overpays for him.

Trade them all, who gives a f*** about them if they can’t win

I’m not going to deny that the roster construction of this team is awful. But if they re-sign 36 yr old Jose Abreu over trading 25 yr old Andrew Vaughn, they are the dumbest fucking team in baseball. Eloy needs to DH. Vaughn needs to play first base. That part isn’t difficult to figure out. The rest, I’ll leave it up to the “experts”.
