December 16, 20232 yr https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/white-sox-sign-chuckie-robinson-to-minors-contract.html Quote Robinson will now move onto a new opportunity with the White Sox, even if Chicago’s acquisitionof Max Stassi has helped shore up the catching situation. Stassi and Korey Lee are penciled in as Chicago’s regular catching duo, though Robinson figures to be the top depth option at Triple-A given the lack of big league catching experience in the White Sox farm system. However, Robinson might also face a playing-time squeeze from Edgar Quero, as the 20-year-old catcher is one of Chicago’s top prospects and is expected to make his Triple-A debut in 2024.

December 16, 20232 yr That probably sets the catchers for this team. Stassi and Lee as the starters with Robinson, Perez, and Hackenberg in Charlotte.
December 17, 20232 yr Given all the other good players going to other teams it turns your stomach to see the s%*#, flotsam and jetsam the Sox are scraping the bottom of the barrel for. Yet JR thinks they are going to contend? ?

Yeah, he doesn't care if the team competes, but he cares about placating TLR and saving money and hiring unqualified people pissing off the fans.

The White Sox were once the 8th most valuable franchise in baseball...now they're drifting into the mid teens and will likely end up close to #20-22 if this current malaise continues for the next 2-3 seasons. Facility issues on the horizon as well. Hard to see any place where there's a positive trend besides cutting payroll and selling off assets. That works far better for META to cut overhead than for the White Sox not to reinvest those savings in reinvigorating the entertainment product itself.

There are many here old enough to remember this was a 50/50 Sox/Cubs town. Jerry destroyed both the fanbase and billions in value over the past 43 years. Minority White Sox shareholders were charged a $2B asshole tax for ceding all control to Jerry. 1981 Franchise values: January 1981: American League owners force Bill Veeck to sell to Jerry Reinsdorf instead of Edward DeBartolo for $20M. June 1981: The Tribune Company purchases the Chicago Cubs from the Wrigley Family for $20.5M. March 2023 Forbes Franchise Value estimates: $4.1B Chicago Cubs $2.05B Chicago White Sox

December 20, 20232 yr He's our 5th/6th string catcher. I don't get the negative comments, but yeah should probably improve 1 to 4 on that note. Edited December 20, 20232 yr by Buehrle>Wood

Can you imagine what they could sell that for to a developer?
