Once Grifol is fired, will he go the way of other Sox managers and front office personnel to not get another job in baseball?

And his manager making every bad decision possible.

Hang an L on Grifol. Dude pulled Wilson after 7 pitches to have Shaw close it out. What a clown of a manager.

Grifol sat down one of the few good relievers he has in Wilson after only 7 pitches in the previous inning to throw Shaw’s decaying corpse out there.

Wilson threw 7 pitches. WTF?

Maldonado swinging a wiffle bat.

The $75 million dollar man strikes out with a runner on third base and 1 out.

Only the Sox… Yes, only the White Sox.

Grossman and DeJong… awful and stupid veterans.

So the one time a bunt may actually make some sense with the batter that is up, Grifol doesn’t call for it?

Sure seems like the Sox have been trying to disprove that theory with their history of managerial signings.

He probably will. Should he? No, he’ll be injured again next year. It’s like throwing hundred dollar bills into a wishing well.

Sosa hitting the ball hard. It’s too bad he isn’t playing his natural position but maybe he sticks all year on his own merits and not just because of injuries.

In the minors, Shewmake played 257 games at SS and 72 games at 2B.

That’s a decent tradeoff.

Wow. What an epic douchebag of an owner.

He has been bad defensively but Sosa is currently the best option to play 3B and Lopez’s only positive is his glove. Sadly, Grifol has it arranged in the best manner possible amongst the hideous options.

I never said that the prospects from the Cease trade won’t amount to anything. I meant that they weren’t top rated prospects (in the MLB). Robert had better return some prospects in the top 25 in the MLB, not just the #79 (Thorpe).

Yep, and then they die with all that money and their worthless, lazy children inherit it all and spend it. ?

With this team losing their top three offensive players, along with Moncada and Robert’s gloves, rolling out a AAA lineup, likely having only two good starting pitchers, a questionable bullpen, and one of the worst managers in MLB history, I am updating my Spring Training prediction of 62-100 to setting the franchise record for lowest winning percentage, topping the 1932 Sox team that finished 49-102 for a .325 winning percentage. .325 over a 162 game season would be 52-53 wins, which I now believe to be within reach. This will be the worst team in franchise history.

Yeah, uhhh, no. Just give it time, and not much at all.

Why, because you are sure DeJong and Lopez are better and there’s definitely a reason to play vets on one year deals in a lost season?

My comments from 1/24/2024 on Moncada, in response to him being a tradable asset at the 2024 MLB trade deadline. I’m a regular Nostradamus. ?

I just think any player can have a hot steak and look like a world beater in 17 plate appearances.

Very true. They dumped a lot of money and got a cheap young catcher who looks like he can play defense and may actually hit as well.
