Article isn't really anything we didn't all assume, but it doesn't make it suck any less. Just have to wait for a new owner.

The Bears are fumbling all of this far more than the Sox. What are they even doing?

It's the principle here. Why should I have to spend any amount of money, for an inferior product? Most people already have some kind of TV subscription, so none of this is "free". Whether that be DirecTV(the only provider these imbeciles have a deal with, lol), Xfinity, or YouTube TV. Nobody is cancelling their subscriptions because they can watch these teams OTA.
An OTA antenna is also a downgrade in every way for watching sports. No rewind, no pause, no recording, inferior PQ. You want that, you get to spend more money. Not to mention, signal issues.
Also, plugging an antenna into a TV works for some people at home (I would have to literally take my 65 inch TV off the wall to do this, but I digress.) You know where plugging an antenna in doesn't work? At all the bars that you might want to watch a Bulls/Blackhawks game in a couple weeks... Most of which, have Xfinity as their provider....which these clowns don't have a deal with yet.
They should have had streaming and broadcast rights sorted out months ago, with two of these teams starting their season in a couple weeks. The Bulls and Blackhawks are going to start the season with most customers unable to view the games without installing a damn antenna. Let that sink in.
As someone who works in the industry - it doesn't really work like that. Deals always come down to the wire. You also need the groundswell of people calling the providers and complaining that they are not able to see their teams. There is a reason that all sports channels deals run out right when college and pro football is about to start.

Did this guy just start or has he been around all season?

Great. What leverage does he have again to dictate how the team utilizes him? They could throw him back in the bullpen against his will and what’s he going to do?
He didn't really have that leverage, but he did take away any leverage the Sox had on trading him because what team would want to deal with that headache this season while trying to win it all?

Today is the day the White Sox have a media event at Block 78. It should be interesting.
Has anything come out about this?

They pretty much have to keep Vargas and Fletcher...have a feeling Vaughn and Sheets will linger around forever.
Not sure there's really much of a Vaughn market, but might want to save some more money moving him after asrbitration salary is out.
I really think one of Vaughn/Sheets will be gone. I wish it were both.

I’m guessing not. Post All-Star break, Crochet has a 6.46 ERA. He’d be even worse if he was extended beyond 2 to 4 inning starts. Meanwhile, the Orioles spent way less to acquire Elfin and he’s been much better than Crochet in the second half. I doubt the Orioles want a mulligan on that trade.
Cowser also had a terrible start in the majors for the Orioles last year and he is now an AL rookie of the year contender.
As far as Eloy goes, the Orioles acquired him as a flier. It’s not like they gave up anything of substance for him to the Sox.
The only team that “lost” by not selling Crochet high was the Sox.
There was not an opportunity to sell "high" on him after the contract stuff.

No reason to be upset at the Dejong trade, really. Seems like they got good value for him.

Getz will give up on Colas, non-tender him, then go somewhere else and put up .270/25/85.
More likely he will be out of the MLB in two years. Most players that Sox give up on don't put it together elsewhere.

1-0 since the Bears started!

That was the dumbest play I've ever seen. Thank you.

Alright can we get a nice, sustained drive ending with a touchdown that gives the defense a break?
Or the complete opposite is also fine.

Well, whatever gets you back in the game.

And it made zero sense not to.
Yeah I don't think there was a single reason to keep him once you got #1. You could have made the argument of "improvement" towards the end if you would have been pick...4 or something. But I wouldn't have agreed with that, either.

Second year in a row they look completely unprepared for week one. Should have launched Flus in the offseason, but of course they didn't.

Teams probably already know this but the Sox are making it obvious that he won’t be good for 150+ innings next year.
How? Shouldn’t the idea be he could throw even more next year? More arm strength and whatnot.

Crochet is now at 133 innings, which no one thought he would really reach without struggling/dead arm.
The Sox seem determined to get him to 150+ innings, even though his ERA will likely be in the 4’s and they will have hurt his trade value for the offseason.
This team could f*** up a wet dream.
I really don't think ERA will hurt his trade value.

HR Montgomery.
He seems to be finishing the season very strong. That would make me feel much better if he does this until the end.

I’m not a professional so I may be way off, but the Dodgers couldn’t get him to hit or field, so I’m thinking the Sox will fail.
Almost of the Dodgers good players on the positional side are free agents, and they've traded away an incredible amount of talent from the minors who went and had success elsewhere. Obviously they are better ran than us - but I actually have no idea how they are from a developmental side.

Burnes is a bum letting that 1st inning happen.

I guess if the owner is stupid and doesn’t like money they could move out of Chicago so some other place.
