July 30, 20241 yr Just now, Chicago White Sox said: There is normal bad sucking and then there is evil sucking. Destroying a potential Crochet return by forcing your trading partner to take on Benintendi’s contract is pure evil sucking. How come I have a feeling they couldn’t trade Brebbia because teams wanted the Sox to cover some of his salary, and they wouldn’t?

And we continue to be the dumbest franchise in baseball. All of these other teams in the luxury tax with god awful deals way worse than this one out here living with it, and the Sox with $50 million committed for 2025 and beyond can't handle it. I'd call them a Mickey Mouse organization, but Disney knows how to run a business.

Still, on a day with 1000 trades and no top 100 picks, I think bigger scare is the market may be cold beyond the next offseason. The only way out is the hard way, and we have idiots in charge. There is no Haber to save us anymore.

July 30, 20241 yr My guess is that the lowered attendance is impacting Reinsdorf’s bottom line of revenue, but that they still aren’t losing money. Jerry is going to have Getz cut the payroll to $100 million next offseason to account for these losses in revenue, but they will still be in the green overall.

YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR WORST CONTRACT EVER WHICH ALSO HAPPENS TO BE OUR LARGEST CONTRACT EVER GIVEN, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY IT, AND YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING LIKE IT, AND GIVE US YOUR BEST PROSPECTS.
July 30, 20241 yr Anyone else relieved we traded Cease when we did and for the package he got? I don't think we'd be receiving the same package at the deadline if we held onto him.
