He was one of many problems. Nobody said he was the only problem. Some are just pushing back on the narrative that TA was a clubhouse leader and well respected teammate. There seems to be very little evidence to support that notion other than peoples feelings.

TA's wikipedia page has more info on Jose Ramirez's comments about TA disrespecting the game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Anderson_(baseball)#cite_note-56 TA was a part of the rotten "core" and needed to go.

Wasn't there a video taken in the clubhouse a few years back when it was announced that TA was going to the all star game? I remember none of his teammates cheering or acting excited for him. The whole video was very strange. Also, TA is currently sitting out there unemployed and has been since like July. No teams seem to want to have anything to do with him even on the leage minimum. Future hall of famer Jose Ramirez also KOd the dude during the middle of a game and said that TA "had been disrespecting the game for quite some time." Pretty sure Jose Ramirez knows more about baseball than most. Seems like there is some evidence actually..

It's looking more and more like Caleb will be playing under a new head coach and learning a brand new offense next year. Where have we seen this movie before?

Is Waldron already on the hot seat? One offensive touchdown over the first two games is no bueno.

They were bound to collapse no matter who the manager was. They went from divion winner in 2021 to the worst team in the history of baseball in 3 years. That is all the proof one needs to see how the rebuild was built on a piss poor foundation.

Caleb played terrible. Inaccurate passes, multiple balls batted down at the line of scrimmage, panicked and ran around like a chicken with his head cut off every time the pocket broke down. Here's to hoping that the Bears have the coaching staff in place to help him develop. Next week in Houston gonna be a bloodbath if he craps the bed again.

One of those playoff appearances was the covid year and deserves an asterik. TLR got the most out of the players and mircalously won the division the next year. Two playoff appearances with no series wins is not a successful rebuild in no, way, shape, or form. Even more so due to the fact that Hahn was trying to emulate the Cubs and Astros rebuild.

Who really knows. Maybe they catch lighting in a bottle again with Sale and Q as the anchors of the rotation and sneak into the playoffs one year? What is 100% a reality is that the Sox were not prepared internally to do a complete tank job back in 2016. They thought thye could just copy what the Cubs and Astros had done without putting in any hard work. The decisions to tank back then are still being felt today.

No it wasn't. It was built on an extremely flimsy foundation and was bound to collapse.

Is Yoan Moncada the biggest bust in White Sox history??

The Sox never should have done the first rebuild and traded away Chris Sale. They did not have the proper infrastructure in place back then to do a scorched earth rebuild. We are still feeling the reverbarations of all the horrible decisions made by Rick Hahn and Kenny Williams starting back in the Winter of 2016. Chris Getz has only added fuel to an already raging inferno.

Has anyone from the Chicago media got a quote from Getz or anyone else in the organization yet on the likely possibility that this Sox team is the worse in the history of baseball? Has this trajectory even been acknowldeged at all by official Sox media? Also, they are truly missing a unique marketing opportunity here. They should be promoting the march to infamy in different fun ways to get people out to the ballpark. Instead it is just more Elvis nights and bobbleheads..

Nope. Fedde, Kopech, and Pham all packaged together couldn't even get one top 200 prospect. LMAO.

This is the same organization that thought Manny Machado would prefer to play one season with his cousin and BFF over 50 million guaranteed dollars. They are not a serious organization at all. There is definte smoke around attaching Beninentdi to a trade for Crochet.

Tick tock goes the clock.

This seems like wishful thinking and not reality. Neither Crochet or Robert Jr are getting moved. Fedde may not either if all the offers are weak. Also, there are rumblings that JR does not want another rebuild and may instuct Getz to bring back Fedde next year in an effort to compete. Kopech is still under control for next year and there is no pressing demand for Sox to move him now. No legit contender wants anything to do with Flexen, Pham, and Dejong. They will likely stay on in hopes that the Sox can avoid setting the worst record of all time.

Exactly. This White Sox team is 50 games under 500. They have a roster full of terrible players that no other team wants besides Crochet, Robert, and Fedde. Why are people surprised that other GMs want nothing to do with the crappy players the Sox are trying to trade?

Let's extend Crochet and build a nasty rotation around him, Thorpe, Schultz, the new lefty kid from Arkansas, and Cannon!

How many innings do we expect Crochet to pitch tonight? Doesn't seem like it makes sense to run him out there for more than 50 pitches or so.

There isn't going to be an open convention. Kamala is going to get annointed the candidate by the big $$$ DNC kingmakers.

It would awesome to extend Crochet and see the Sox form a nasty chimera of left handed starting pitchers in Crochet, Schultz, and the new kid they just drafted top 5. Let's bring hope back to the South Side!

Yep. No more old dudes with no upside like Charlie Tilson, Ryan Cordell, Zach Deloach. Let's get some young dudes with helium.

They are plenty around here who will argue that the Sox didn't have a choice back in 2016 either. We had to tear it down and tank back then and we have to do it again now. There is no other way! s/

I concur. Build around Robert and Crochet and trade everyone else. Don't trust Getz not to get taken to the cleaners in any trade of Robert/Crochet.
