I'll be honest, there was a part of me that was a little worried he was going to pull a Zava and say "I will not be signing with the White Sox today." 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted December 22 Share Posted December 22 2 things 1. Did I hear him say while he was signing "I'm so happy"? 2. I think he is going to help make vests make a comeback...he looks very sharp imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted December 22 Share Posted December 22 (edited) It's a gamble since he seems to have holes in his swing, from a defensive standpoint and an injury history but really what is there to lose at this stage until Ishbia takes over?

Chicago White Sox Posted December 22 Share Posted December 22 4 minutes ago, wegner said: I'm pretty sure I am in Love with this guy Was just about to post this. This kid just wants to fucking hit bombs and win ballgames. And the fact he’s already making adjustments for the MLB is fucking impressive. I haven’t been this excited about a White Sox player in years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 22 Share Posted December 22 Would be great if they could bring Tadahito over for part of Spring Training…. Gene Honda…”infamous 2005 World Series team” Oops. Getz could have done a better job articulating the team’s ultimate strategic vision in embracing Japan/Asia, but he has some time to reflect further and get to work on it.

Timmy U Posted December 22 Share Posted December 22 Presser has me fired up. Mune ends it by saying "let's get to work." Guys who have accomplished what he has want to be good. I believe he'll work hard to make adjustments to eventually be good. It may be like Ohtani where it takes a little time and the Sox may not get his absolute peak, but I love the storyline. Much better than hoping O'Hearn's fade will be gradual, as far as entertainment value. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted December 22 Share Posted December 22 this was really unexpected...and amazing. Mlbtraderumors had him as the #4 FA with a 8/180 deal prediction. I get the stats at FBs above 93...but so many MLB pitchers dont have the off-speed movement so common in Japan that I think he will be able to focus a bit more on the heaters...or just become really efficient at crushing bad curves and sliders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 22 Share Posted December 22 (edited) Star power. Charisma. 25. Confidence. But not quite cockiness. Self assured. Big personality. WBC warrior. Perfect leader to go along with Teel, Colson, Braden and Roch Cholowsky. Finally this team is building an identity in Chicago after three years of dystopian wasteland. Let’s f’n go!!! If that doesn’t fire you up, watch Sisu 1 and Sisu 2: Road to Revenge Edited December 22 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted December 22 Share Posted December 22 We can all stand to take a hint from Muni Murakami: "I've heard this club has lost a lot of games in the past. But that is the past. I only look forward." — Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) December 22, 2025 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 22 Share Posted December 22 I'm excited...would be nice if they had a few more solid moves - even if it meant signing a player or two to decent money that could be good flip candidates. It isn't like losing really helps the club this upcoming season given they can't pick in the top 10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
