If Robert Jr and Vaughn continue to tank this is going to be a long year.  I think its fair to say if they do  not produce they couldn't even be traded for anybody decent. That being said, it will  be curious  to see how this plays out.

If those guys actually hit, it’ll be a long year lol

A good GM probably could have traded him by now, but what'cha gonna do?

Only if they can find a naive GM.  There's only one I know of so trade is not possible.

I said this a couple of weeks ago but they should have been willing to include close to $10M, which is about how much they would pay him if they trade him July 31 anyway.

Include $10M? Thats nuts, we’ll just keep him and pay him $40M instead. Much better.

It’s really amazing how many guys peak at like 25 with the Sox and then completely lose all ability.   Never seen anything like this, and it’s happened to four guys recently.

That is a mystery.  This team seems cursed having TLR and Grifol but the constant is JR.  There's probably a lot more about this organization that just seems cursed that we will never hear about until JR is long gone and probably not in my lifetime,

"That success hasn’t quite carried over to the regular season. Robert finished 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, including the strikeout to end the game against reliever Will Vest, and is 4-for-25 (.160) with one extra-base hit, two walks and nine strikeouts through the first seven games."

😂 😂 😂  best part about this is once the Sox are sold, we will never hear about Chris Getz again

He'll never even sniff a GM job. He'll be lucky to be an area scout.

Getz will go the way of Kenny and Hahn.  Forced retirement, whether he wants it or not.

At 2-5 the new manager has to be concerned. Got to win next game vs detroit and show we can win four of every nine. 4-5 of every nine would mean a decent season. Crucial stretch here to determine whether we just stink or royally stink.

The White Sox are NOT a 72-90 team (.444 winning percentage).

They will be quite fortunate to get out of the 50s.

Robert will bring an incredible haul I heard. 

So many people here said keep him until the trade deadline. I was on the trade him for whatever you can get in the offseason train because I only saw his value diminishing the longer they held on to him. There’s at least a 50/50 chance he goes the way of Moncada. By that I mean finishes this season with the Sox and they decline to pick up his option for next season, getting nothing in return for him. He’s brutal at the plate now.

Did you guys see that item on Twitter (X) on some group of thugs charging 40 bucks a car as u exited the dan ryan? They better get that in check before people get scared. Not sure how old the Tweet was but the gist was guys who looked like parking attendants were demanding 40 bucks a car.

Demanding 40 bucks a car? To park where? Dude. The Sox don't even accept cash for a beer let alone for parking. I assume that the Chicago Police were on that as they are all around the park on game days.

I don't know how to link social media site X but it's all over there. They interviewed people who said if you denied giving the 40 they flattened tires, etc. The cash was just to get off the Ryan exit. Pretty intense stuff. They had some video. The 40 bucks was like a toll to be allowed to get near the parking lots. Cops came on one video and the thugs scattered. If it's true it's just another reason for fans not to venture to any games with a team this rotten.

I wanted to trade him because I was worried about another injury.  Now it looks like he will suck AND he could likely get injured at any moment.  Double whammy.
