Hiring from within a company is meaningless if the candidates are not qualified and had failed at their previous jobs which feed into their promotional job.

Roster expansion is only 2 slots now, and they went with Iriarte and DeLoach.

Well that is the kiss of death.

The Sox may well have room to improve 50 WINS from 24 to 25, and still not make the playoffs.

72 wins would in 2025 would be the most beloved team in Sox history.

The Hawks are at least in a convincing talent acquisition phase, but they aren't quite there yet. Still can't quite feel them after everything that happened with the abuse cover ups. The Bears should be the best team in Chicago right now.

Be something like a 30 to 35 win improvement over this season.

It's honestly crazy how much better the Sox are keeping pitchers healthy, than they are keeping hitters healthy.

The problem is Jerry is Jerry, and he won't approve a long term contract to a pitcher, let alone an injury prone one.

Crochet isn't really making any money right now, so probably another minimum wage guy. My guess is they aren't doing any real spending until at least .500 is in sight.

And for an non-incestuous organization, it also means you could still bid on him as a FA, just like you could have if you kept him.

The Sox can say what they want, but they could go out and spend a billion dollars in free agency and still not be able to put together a league average offense.

Well it's better than no bat AND no glove like usual in RF.

Actually his promotion would make a lot more sense in this scenario.

And a JR hired medical professional almost killed Luol Deng.

Kenny Williams and the PR game?

While actually NOT trying to be bad.

And pay 2 GMs? In this economy?
