It is a LOT easier to become a 100 loss team than a 90 win team.

Of course he titled it himself.

That's it, let it all out.

This is a full scale tear down and rebuild.

Look, I don't know if Rachel Phelps could have assembled a team this bad, and she was trying to do so.

The other thing I will mention is if you are looking at the position player side of the ledger and free agency, and unless you want to give hundreds of millions of dollars to Pete Alonzo and Juan Soto, this free agency group is trash. https://www.mlb.com/news/baseball-s-next-free-agent-classes

Trading to get talent into the system isn't the same as getting the talent you drafted and signed internationally to be major league ready. I would expect someone paying attention to reality to get it. Six of our top 10 guys are here because the major league club failed enough that we traded the major league guys to add to the system. Of course had Getz been better at his last job, we would have had guys to plug into the major league failure and maybe the rebuild doesn't happen.

You are probably right in your underlying assumption here, but not for a good reason. We would rather stand behind the wrong move as an organization than to fix the move and look bad because of it. Short of Chris Getz signing Juan Soto to a half billion dollar contract, there probably isn't much he can do to get fired for a number of years.

The hilarious thing is you have no idea what you are talking about, and the reason I know that is because I know how many times I have suspended and banned the guy over the years. But you keep chasing your windmills buddy.

Without getting to the mountain of changes that has happened in the last 54 years of baseball "competitiveness", this 2024 White Sox team is on pace to be 18 games WORSE than the one you are describing.

"The mob" hahahahahahaha

Unless you are willing to spend a billion dollars this off-season and trade away top prospects for talent, there is no way to make this shithole roster into an 80 win team next year.

If the Sox are shopping Robert and Crochet, it is already happening.

Wasn't he the one who was in a fight with one of his players?

Look at what is out on the field right now. The can is long past 2028 with Robert and Crochet in the picture. The can is already flying into the next decade. You can "tolerate" whatever you like, but there is no way to make up a 50 game gap between where we are now, and where we need to be to be a playoff team with the talent in the system right now. It just isn't there. Keeping 2 good pieces actually slows the process of getting enough talent into the system, and doesn't speed it up at all. As of today you can squint and see about half an offense? Where do the rest of it come from by 2028, because it sure isn't free agency.

The Sox as a 90 loss team would be about 20 games from the playoffs. As they are on pace now they are 50 GAMES AWAY FROM THE PLAYOFFS! There are no sacred cows when you are staring in the eyes of the worst record in the history of modern baseball.

Mr Stawman build me a meme.

Luis Robert will not be here by the time they have a competitive core anyway.

Deserve is a terrible word to use as a positive for anyone in this franchise, but realistically it is the move that makes the most sense, no matter who is doing it.

Seems like a weird time to not. Like what does having Robert the next few years give us anyway, and as a Boras guy, its not like he will extend again.

Wat?

Easier to sell than Chris Getz’s 120 loss team.

I thought it was sad White Sox fans were still watching this game in the 9th inning.

With the pace this team is on that would be about a 40 game improvement, in 1 off season. Yeah, no. It's like me saying I should be adding a million dollars to me savings next year.
