77 Hitmen Posted Friday at 08:19 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:19 PM After the historically bad 2024 for our favorite team, this year gave us more excitement than I expected (on and off the field). Here's some positive highlights I can think of: - Sox win draft lottery will pick #1 overall next summer - Colson Montgomery hits 21 HRs in 71 games after being called up on July 4 - Sox sign Munetaka Murakami - Local, multibillionaire Justin Ishbia drops his bid to buy the Twins and enters into an agreement to (eventually) be the next owner of the White Sox - A die-hard Sox fan is elected Pope (I bet NOBODY had this on their bingo card!) - The guy in bullet #4 above suggests to the guy in bullet #5 above that the Sox will be getting a new stadium in the near future This isn't an all-inclusive list and please feel free to add to it. And yeah, I know the fact that the new Pope is a Sox fan isn't going to affect the fortunes of this franchise, but we've certainly had a lot of fun with it since the news broke in May. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting even better things to happen in 2026!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago (edited) This org is not capable of getting a new ballpark built under any circumstance. Maybe Ishbia will get it done at later date. Edited 18 hours ago by pcq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. 2029 is still a long ways away, but there is at least some glimmer of hope off in the distance. We have no idea how Ishbia will run things, but at bare minimum, operating like an actual major league team would still be a vast departure from the past decade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
