  • He’s not much more expensive than O’Hearn would have been with an incredible amount more of upside and flip potential.  There is no downside to this deal, as let’s be honest, they’ve wasted 17 mil a y

I do love that flying sock logo

The arrival of Mune and the Crazy 88's at The Rate.

Dodgers' field now named after Japanese fast fashion brand UNIQLO.

Mune becomes the first White Sox in history to homer in each of his first two career games.

Well played sir.

He keeps this up the Sox may actually get a good haul for him at the deadline, remember his contract is only for two years and if the Sox are hopelessly out of it, that's something they may consider doing.

It will likely be next season’s trade deadline. I’ll be perusing the Dodgers top prospect listings heavily until then. Old man Freddie Freeman has two years left on his contract as well. It’s a perfect fit.

Outfielders Outfielders Outfielders.

They have four really good ones stuck in the minors.

Mid season 2027 perfectly fits the timeline.

"The Dodgers have Ohtani plugged into the DH spot on a daily basis. Freddie Freeman will hold down first base through 2027. The Dodgers picked up Max Muncy’s club option and will have him at third base again next year, barring a trade," he continued.

"Murakami did make a start in the outfield this past season, so maybe that would be an avenue for the Dodgers to make it work, but it’d be surprising to see him signed and plugged into the outfield on a full-time basis."

Getz will undoubtedly frame it like getting two first round picks in 2027...

It reminds me of Frank Thomas knocking down infielders with singles.

By the way, “South Side Samurai”. Cringe.

Paging @ChiliIrishHammock24 , we have a code red on the nickname front. Quit being a wimp and reclaim your title as the official nicknamer of soxtalk. We need you now more than ever.

Murakami-sama

His nickname " Murakami-sama ", was given by fans because his feats at the plate could only be done by a kami-sama, or “god.” His nickname was Japan's word of the year for 2022.

Of course they did...

Upon arriving at Camelback Ranch, his locker name was misspelled as "Munetaki Murakami." But the Japanese player, known for his great sense of humor, quickly shared the blunder on social media, complete with emojis that showed his laid-back attitude towards the slip-up.

This is fine

Could be good for continuing to build the Sox brand in Japan

Insane the White Sox can barely afford $34 million when the freakin' Pirates just gave a mere teenager in Konnor Griffin up to $140 million.

It always comes down to ownership and money. That's been the bane of this franchise going back to Comiskey.
