Brewers?? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/12/brewers-reportedly-engaged-in-garrett-crochet-market.html

Now they switched the Cedar Rapids channel back to the "coming soon" column!

Easier to hide/hold a pitcher or a hitter when acquired via Rule 5? I feel like a pitcher might be easier to justify a roster spot...

All organizations have these situations...I still would have loved to have watched the White Sox figure out how to use Tatis, Jr, Semien and TA all at the same time when they were young...

Agree...it would be different if Cease was drafted by the White Sox...and even then it would be hard to imagine Sale lasting this long (even though he has missed a bit of time in his career).

So far in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa market the channel doesn't seem active. The channel comes in very clear but so far I have only seen infomercials being broadcast. Maybe I should look for a different channel but I feel I have scrolled thru all of them and found nothing...

I live in Iowa so I get what feels like half of the league blacked-out! Still though...MLB.TV is my savior half of the calendar year! I don't watch every game nor focus on every pitch of very many games but it is always nice to have baseball on in the house whether it occupies my main focus or serves as background noise. That said...I never thought I would pay for MLB.TV OVER a White Sox "channel"...but next year I might just be doing that!

I dialed in the Cedar Rapids station that is listed and it comes in crystal clear at my place. That said...it was a couple of weeks ago and they weren't transitioned over to CHSN yet. I will have to give it a shot tonight to see what is up with it.

They are listed on the website...I think they reorganized the layout/links...but the Cedar Rapids/Des Moines stations are still listed: https://www.chsn.com/faq

Dodger Stadium is the 3rd oldest in MLB and it feels like it! Still a beautiful park to watch a baseball game in it though! They and KCR renovated the outfield in an attempt to make the ballpark about things other than the game but even then both ballparks (Dodger and Kaufmann) feel stale. The problem for Dodger is that there is hardly any public transportation in LA so Dodger has to be in the middle of parking lots.

Schueler lived off of the system that Larry Himes was putting together when JR fired Himes...Schu didn't do that on his own...but he did a decent job of sustaining it without successful 1st round picks.

True...but that could be said about every owner...that is the ideal state for an organization. White Sox fans aren't built that way or at least we haven't been giving a reason to show up for a bad ball club!

That I agree with...I wasn't that clear...I guess I meant that if he is going to come back to the White Sox as a reliever I would guess it would only be due to getting paid more than he would anywhere else (which is really what most FAs do). I just think that if he was going to settle for being a reliever, he might want to go somewhere that would allow him to pitch in more competitive situations. Being a long reliever for the White Sox would not be ideal (although it is a MLB roster spot and accumulates service time)!

Would he come back to this organization as a reliever? Only if he gets paid more than any other organization...as a reliever. Unless he has zero offers...or the White Sox bid the most money...he is moving on...which is fine.
