Not really. That's why I stopped my mlb.com for next year renewal. There's nothing they can do trade wise to improve dramatically. People are talking about trading our one or two minor league "studs" for oldster Salvy. Salvy will help but you are looking at blah stats from him the rest of his career. His leadership will help of course.

But they've got no reliable starters now that Cease stinks. And the bullpen has to be one of the worst in Sox history. They've got no bats besides Robert. And their defense is blah to bad. Beni is one of their best players. Yikes.

All they can do this offseason is see what they can get for Moncada and TA. Big deal. Those will be the big trades. Nobody on here has even produced a feasible "plan" for the offseason. Sox have maybe 3-4 guys other teams would take in a trade off the big league roster. Sox will have about 45 wins max at this stage of the 2024 season.

Which position player pitches today  for the Sox ?

It looks like this Navarro guy 

You don't need leadership when you suck. Let whatever cream you have rise to the top.

Can’t get anything for Moncada because of his contract.

If the Sox have a 10 run inning they still lose.

Yea, same here . i've had MLB Extra Innings or MLB.com baseball every year for around 20 years . I really don't see any point in going through the nightmare that is coming next year . i'll just watch whatever is on.

It's hard to believe, but  they are getting even worse.

Another embarrassing loss, Guys are just going through the motions. 

No guts, no brains, no pride.

Yep, just when you think they’ve reached rock bottom they come up with another clunker.

I predict a royal flush

And we're gonna bring back the manager anyway. what a bunch of fools.

From DVS story on this afternoon's carnage:

"It was the latest remind of just how big a job new general manager Chris Getz is facing. Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, expressing belief in the Sox’ core just last week, is trying to convince fans another rebuild isn't necessary, not with the current core, a core that has the Sox holding a 53-85 record, reaching new depths below the .500 mark with each passing day."

They’re fooling themselves but not fooling us.

I just saw the score.  Not certain I'd consider myself a fan at this point.  This is rock bottom and I've been a fan for over 40 years.  Zero interest in these losers. 

Same here!! And I never felt this way about a Bill Veeck owned White Sox team.  Wish he had never sold to Reinsdorf!

12 - 1 WHAT A s%*# SHOW...

 

FIRE JERRY

I would say they have checked out, but that would require them to have checked in at some point. 

Losing is way better than winning at this point, but wow, they sure are looking bad while doing it. Not sure I’ve been this disinterested in the Sox in my lifetime. Blows

They have NEVER played for Pedro. It's just an absolute joke he's coming back.

Rockies still look to be 2 1/2 ahead for third pick.

It's like the reverse of 2021 when they couldn't catch the Astros late when they tried to turn it back on during the stretch drive.

I guess this what happens when we hire a guy from the Royals' player development department to oversee the a former Royals bench coach.

Only the White Sox could somehow manage to instill less hope in fans with the Grifol/Getz combo.

Not even sure Theo Epstein would be able to fix this mess because he wouldn't have FA's to eventually turn to.

Whatever is required...it's far beyond the capabilities of Chris Getz.

Because somehow...the Rockies will get a future HoF at 1-3 and we'll get another Royals/Sox pick at #4.

At this point...might as well root for the Royals again to get better than the Sox in 2024 to make this whole situation look even more embarrassing.

Only then can they get attendance all the way down to the 1.2-1.3 million mark.

Once upon a time...there was a IL state subsidy if those numbers ever went below 800,000.  They might be challenging it at this rate over the next 2-3 seasons.  Especially if they capitulate and trade Robert.

Not being able to sell ads for their own sports network might also do the trick.

 

10,646 poor souls at Burning Man/Dante's Inferno at KC.  At least they have Ragans and Witt to crow about now.

I feel like a lot of folks don't understand there is a draft lottery now. You aren't guaranteed your spot anymore.

Feel free to click sim lottery if you are bored. And if the Sox land in the top 6, due to market size, they can't pick in the top 10 in the next draft class.

He disciplines the rookies while letting the veterans play lazy as hell. He’s the worst manager imaginable.
