It still don't get it and get the desire to not make the current team as good as possible . White Sox baseball has been a travesty for over 100 years . It's all well and good to preach competence in other areas of team building (and Lord knows I have been preaching that forever) but what makes anyone ( like you) think that will happen when it's never happened ? Adding talent on the field is all we got. The behind the scenes talent and spending the money to acquire it has never happened in the history of the organization, otherwise it would have shown up on the field . You expecting some grand turn over in leadership who will spend behind the scenes on top talent is what's foolish. I'll take the present , you can continue to hope for what has never happened with the White Sox in team history.

That's a White Sox Johnny Cueto Winner !

He'll have a lot of time to think about it when the offers start coming in and maybe the Sox make some changes. I doubt anyone gives him a 2 yr. contract . He's too old and his track record over the past 5 years isn't good enough. The team that pays the most for 1 year will get him. This is the highest innings pitched for him since 2017 and his best year since 2016 when he was 30. That's a lot of years in between then and now where he wasn't so great. -
I said he had 17 HR's what more do you want ? Contact hitter meaning his K rate is very low. You can still be a contact hitter and hit HR's. I didn't say weak contact did I ? He knows how to hit when he has 2 strikes on him at least against minor league pitching. I suspect he'll be K'ing more up here. But it's a positive thing in general that he makes contact.

After a year like he's had plenty of other teams will be willing to take a chance on him for that kind of production for $10M or whatever he'll get. -

Props to Elvis Andrus for stealing 3rd in that same inning and then scoring when the Guardians failed to cut the ball off on a shallow FB to RF and the throw home one hopped and knocked the catcher's mask off and rolled about 8 feet away in foul territory along the 1st base line to score the White Sox 2nd run in the 2-0 victory. -
Cueto goes 8.2 innings and Liam Hendricks get the save as the Sox cut the Guardians lead in the Central to 2.5 games. Looks like Grandal seriously hurt his knee trying to score from 2nd on a no out single by newcomer Elvis Andrus. Grandal should 've been pinch ran for once when he led off the inning with a single or when he reached 2nd on a wild pitch with the Sox clinging to a 1-0 lead at the time in the top of the 7th inning. The injury is squarely on TLR and McEwing for sending him home with no outs where he tried to avoid a tag and his knee buckled . But he was out by a mile.
