Can I start a Twitter account named White Castles and pull rumors out my butt then get them posted on here too?

LOL looks like Harold could use some newer inside sources.

Yes, this makes me frustrated. I already said that. You realize "you mad?" doesn't work when the person states he's mad? And virtue signal by asking people to be held accountable to same way others would be? OK, champ. I can post whatever i like here; just like you can post your nonsense over and over.

I hate Preller so at least that part makes me happy

Nobody talk unless you can see the future.

If you are still doing this at 76, you have a pretty big problem.

Agree; our legal system is broken AF but sadly the only people that can exploit those cracks are people with money or influence.

Kopech is that one piece that feels like you could really get your ass handed to you for moving him. I think he's got quite a bit of risk, but the ceiling is still so tantalizing.

Hilarious that you think this is funny or cool. Yes, how great that rich and wealthy people like La Russa with billionaire friends don't actually have to follow the law and can endanger peoples lives with no repercussions. Get fvked for this one, harold.

On Friday, the White Sox need to add players to the 40-man in order to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft. Jake Burger, Gavin Sheets, Tyler Johnson and Will Kincanon are the most likely. I wrote about it here: https://www.futuresox.com/2020/11/16/40-man-roster-decisions-and-2020-rule-5-draft-implications/

He refuses to acknowledge his old title as "Soxtalk nicknamer" and his past history regarding HoT FiRe. He won't even acknowledge the nickname when mentioned in a post. You can't run from your past, @ChiliIrishHammock24! Admit to it or it will consume you!

Me too. I started grinning when I first heard. Nothing against Clevenger

No chance, bud

Yes. Trying hard for one of them currently.

What do you mean by spend money? They’ll make additions. Maybe one significant addition. They aren’t signing Springer and Bauer though or something.

I think its maybe time to let it go man.

If Jake Burger gets selected in the rule 5 I'll eat a hat.

Why? Pagano is trash. And why are we blaming Nagy this week? This team has a talent deficit. I don't care if they were running the I-Form all game long, they would still lose. They don't have players on the offensive side of the ball. It begins with the line and it has been ignored or mis evaluated since Cutler was yelling at his OLineman. Gotta stop the Chicago mentality of trying to find a scapegoat. Pace has been terrible with asset management. That is at the top of the list for a GM.

The Indians are really good at giving up broken goods right before they break. Kluber last off-season and now Clevinger. Although you can argue the Rangers knew that Kluber carried a decent amount of risk given his injury history.

I'm sorry I'm voicing some concern at two twitter accounts named after food/restaurants with unverifiable information so far. Damn me for questioning things. Since the rumor mill has started up this offseason what information on his timeline has been backed up any of the national guys so far? Genuinely curious and please let me know if I'm missing something.

I could be wrong, but I think it's the asking them here to tweet specific phrases like "bark twice if you're in Milwaukee" or w.e. that may be bothering some people. I'm enjoying the conversation that is being drum up since there's nothing else (positive) really to discuss at the moment.

Keep doing you Adam. Your posts bring the only conversation had on this board lol. Those burners are entertaining if nothing else.

Yeah, its just getting a bit old. I mean you do you, its a free message board. But you're directly impacting the enjoyment of this board for people at this point.

100% agree.

Have you guys thought about how it is feasible that we could trade for sale, sign quintana, eaton, todd frazier, joakim soria AND david robertson this offseason?

"Drunk driving is cool, snowflake" is such an appalling position to take, and the amount of people going with it (more so on Twitter than ST) is discouraging

Why the hell would the Astros trade Kyle Tucker?

Things must be coming to a head. Tony's jersey now available.

I agree those will be close to the final answer, but they shouldn't be. Personally I think Vaughn, but only if he could bring a top pitcher, makes the most sense to deal for a front line guy. Why? #1, the offense is already loaded, and will be for years. #2, Vaughn is a 1B/DH type, despite the hype that he is trying out different positions, meaning he is the easiest to replace of the position players, plus we already have depth in those spots, especially if we bring back a James McCann. #3, We are way likely to need pitching depth over the next half decade than 1B/DH depth. Pitchers get hurt more often, they flame out more often, and have inexplicable periods of mediocrity. Even if we have pitching depth, it might not last.

I used to laugh at them but then their insane decisions still ended up netting them more playoff appearances than the sox during the 2010s (not hard).

100%. Tired of wealthy people and famous people and etc not having to follow the same legal system and laws that the majority do. Im glad you think that's cool. Maybe they'll toss you some scraps from the big boy table for all your water carrying. Poor - go to jail. Rich - get handys from weird guys like harold who would be going to jail of they did it. Hopefully your hero gives you the proper attention for all your hard work.

So I guess this means that LaRussa is here to stay. I wonder if JR did anything to make those charges disappear? Next year's baseball season is ruined for me. I'm not going to lie and say I won't watch, but I cannot root for TLR or Reinsdorf at this point.

It’s a symptom of Mitch McConnell being a piece of trash prioritizing a Supreme Court judge and humoring Trump’s asinine election complaints to drive the base to vote in Georgia for the special elections rather than actually giving a damn about Americans.

Trading a guy who we drafted highly and who we have never once seen against minor league competition for an expensive player with 1 year of control? Love it, classic Rick Hahn special.

Holy shit. Let me guess: you "read this" on some impossibly stoopid partisan website designed to scare the gullible and the stoopid. Setting aside that the stoopid shit you just posted would never, ever pass, how exactly would a $450k payout pass? For your edification, those assholes in congress couldn't even pass a meager $1200 payout to people that are hurting during this pandemic, yet you stupidly believe that a $450k payout to black people WOULD pass? I'm fvkcing embarrassed for you. Turn off the fvkcing TV, turn off social media (except for soxtalk), buy a fvkcing book/read it, and get some fvkcing exercise. What you've been reading online and watching on TV has been actively making you stoopider.

Who the fuck cares?

You guys really need to watch DUI Lawyer on Youtube. Seems like these cases get dropped really often and this is why you refuse tests.

Not to belittle the seriousness of this, but with it being dealt with, we know the Sox are moving forward with LaRussa. The team made a good move with a pitching coach, and there are hints they could be active this winter. Now we can (and should) focus on the team and what it will look like come spring.

Marquez is awesome. I dont think you are giving him enough credit at all.

Cease still has a lot of upside and potentially can be much better than Marquez. So let's trade him AND a potential All Star 2B (who just hit .340 in his rookie season) AND at least one of our top prospects as well, plus one more guy. LOL no.

The link you posted was painful. But Bruce clearly posted that by accident, not intentionally. The guy barely knows how to tweet. If you really think he should have been fired over that, you represent the lowest of the scum in the cancel culture. Fire a guy over a mistakenly posted tweet. To tell with that man's job. He accidentally posted something minorly offensive.

I don't understand why everyone wants to trade players away when you can just sign them. You need depth to survive a full season and compete year after year.

Why the fuck would anyone wanna trade all that for Marquez? What did I miss? Am I ignorant and he's actually an elite starter? Even for Darvish, all that is a ridiculous overpay. What is with all these ridiculous Madrigal, Cease++ trade proposals lately? Jesus. These guys are our future.

In this thread we have managed to get everyone an InBev laid off, and get sued by Tony LaRussa for defamation.

Giolito before Katz... 2018: 6.5 k/9 4.7 bb/9 1.4 hr/9 8.6 h/9 All very similar numbers to Cease in 2020.

Apparently we reached the part of the season where people are already drinking heavily. It shall henceforth be know as the "TLR phase".

Thats too bad. Has he ever thought of stopping his org from making stoopud decisions (apart from Grandal/Keuchel) over and over again? Has he thought about firing his incompetent team president, and hiring someone with actual ability? Or modernizing his FO, so that they stop making stoopid decisions? I, for one get tired of seeing them make decisions that pretty much everyone with 2 working eyes and minimum of familiarity with the game can see will be moronic decisions? (EE, Mazara, Gio Gonzalez, now TLR, etc, ad nauseum...)

Yea well the child ate like half his kids so I guess they are even lol

Yeah - If you go to Portillo you should also stop at Porto's and get some potato balls and other baked goods. A few minutes away. Miss those things - haven't been up that way since COVID.

You're crazy. James McCann has never made a mistake in his life
