    For the White Sox, Michael predicts the White Sox will

    1. Exercise the $15M option for Liam Hendriks.
    2. Decline Tim Anderson’s $14M option.
    3. Mike Clevinger will decline the $12M player option.

    .

    I predict the exact opposite of all 3 of these.

    Thanks. I did not know that about the MLB. Maine South of course has only one loss I think, to Br Rice. Good to hear coach Q knows what he's doing and it's trending upward for the future. Should be interesting to see if BR can beat Nazareth and Rita. I'd think we would beat Montini though they are 5-1. My guess is the Rita game is huge and emotional.

    what is brian badke doing now? is he still in the area? I don't even know what Fraser is doing now.

    Fraser is in the corporate world last I heard. Just wanted to get out of hs sports.

    Friendly reminder that both he could have been set up and he could have sexually assaulted her. The court saying they have no findings doesn’t prove it didn’t happen. And Trevor Bauer is still the asshole he was before and after this.

     

    The odds of both those things happening seem extremely slim, to say the least.

    The Anti-Rebuild Sentiment

    I don't see why I should trust them to rebuild any more than they retool. Just because you rebuild doesnt mean you will actually become a contender. This shouldnt have to be explained given our current situation. Simple as that.

    But I thought the tickets had sold out? I get that we’re garbage but I just wondered if people were buying the $1 tickets and not using them as some sort of protest against Jerry

    Probably combo of scalpers+not listing all the seats. One ticket sold at ten bucks pays for 10 tickets at 1 dollar. With artificial demand created, worth the risk even for shitty no draw team.

    The whole "southside" team issue is based on a decision the Sox made over 120 years ago. Their fanbase hasn't been there for decades now.  Move out to the west/ southwest suburbs and make the drive 30 minutes or so for a huge number of potential ticket buyers and watch attendance soar.

    The Soldier Field thing is nuts. Even assuming they tear it down and build a new park there it would be so inaccessible to the majority of the Chicagoland area it would be horrible. Many Sox fans would see their travel time increase 15 minutes or so, and it sucks now. Put it in the middle of the Chicagoland population to minimize travel time, not on the east edge of it.

    Throwing away 120 years worth of branding is hardly nothing. The Southwest side is fine though. There's not much cultural demographic differences between at least one of the core make-ups of your fanbase between there and the southside (which they identify with anyways) besides a generation removed. Tinley/Orland would make some sense albeit leaving behind some of your core Latino base. Going to Arlington makes no sense though. You have 0 built in fanbase and are throwing away your entire brand to compete with an entirely entrenched brand already. At that point, moving to a new city makes more sense.
