Nothing says can’t waste a year more than the guys Getz has picked up. Awesome.

Who are the young guys they will be showing? Kind of hard to see if you are in Charlotte or Birmingham.

I’m starting to think the White Sox are unaware of the tanking rules, and still think they have a shot at the first pick in 2025.

It’s a good thing the Sox didn’t sign Machado or Harper. If they did they might have been able to go after guys like Dom Smith now.

This should sell some tickets.

Alrighty Then.

I agree. They didn't have to go nuts, but at least try to put something on the field where if everything went right, they were decent. The 10th pick for 2024 had 78 wins in 2023, so their draft position will not be hurt unless things went right and they actually won some games. And isn't that the strategy with the Bulls?

No I see why Pedro can feel it.

I still don't understand the logic how Renteria deserved to get fired, but Grifol is fine. It's not like Pedro is breaking the bank for an MLB on field employee. According to Nightengale, there's a decent shot he doesn't make $1 million a year. That's almost player minimum.

Best cheap cheeseburgers in Chicago.

Does anyone buy anything that ever comes out of Pedro's mouth?

As a spectator, there's definitely something nice about a half empty or more ballpark.

All these guys that were playing for their careers were playing for them last season until an team awful enough threw a few dollars at them to try again. But I do agree with wegner. Defense alone should get them a few more wins.

It sounded like a great idea, but maybe the team sucking had something to do with it. I acutally used to work in the building the train station is attached to and took it to opening day once. It was great.

Maybe. They fixed up the 35th Metra station probably 12 or 13 years ago, and had a stop there. They also used to hold trains there for after the game, but that all stopped. It wasn't a big White Sox seller.

I watched a roundtable discussion with the Reinsdorfs and the Wirtzs a few years ago when the UC turned 25. The UC has 6000 parking spots. The one thing they said is fewer people are driving to games than ever before. A ton take Ubers, which I believe would be a very popular choice for people working or taking a train downtown if the Sox moved to the 78.

Yes. There were rumors JR owned the land where the parking lots are located, but he doesn’t. He just gets 100% of the parking money.

He hasn’t done anything yet. They haven’t discussed the most important part, which is exactly what the Bears are stuck on.

What a boring offseason.

Did you fall and hit your head?

Cubbie blue. Figures.

I'd like Getz to do at least one thing that Hahn was never able to do, get an average RF. It can't be that hard.

At first, around it, but in time, unless an ownership change, within. as well.

Makes sense, but the White Sox are going to blame their status in Chicago on location. I hope there isn't much in public funding help, but changing neighborhoods will allow for differnet things, although I wonder how long it would actually take to develop around a new South Loop ballpark. I have the feeeling its going to look similar to what GRF looks like now with a bunch of emptiness.
