I was just going to post the same thing.

Just wait until next year.

Does this inspire the team to try to bee a bit better in 2024 ?

I hope things change, but 50 years is a few regimes. Hard to believe it will be fixed now.

I'm not too keen on what the White Sox will draft after their first selection. They haven't drafted a guy in round 2 who put up a 2.0 career WAR for the White Sox in over 50 years.

I get this draft sucks and picking high next year would be ideal, but there is no guarantee they don't lose 100 plus games, finish 4th worse and get screwed next season with the lottery. Whatever happens is probably the worst case scenerio for this franchise.

If you are the White Sox and hired this guy, how do you not fire him today to stop him from embarrassing you any more? Read the article. He talks about learning things that are rather obvious, and should be more obvious for a guy with experience in a major league dugout.

Jon Morosi is the Pedro Grifol of baseball insiders.

Just remember when he "spoke" last offseason. It was all BS. This guy is a fraud, in way over his head, and everyone knows it except the White Sox. He's the real life equivalent of Milos on Seinfeld.

I think if you went back and read the thread, most people thought the Sox made a mistake. The one problem is everyone know how bad the Sox are at developing. So a guy like Bassett or Semien, even if they turn out great, the out is they would never have been close to that player for the White Sox. The sad part is the guy who was in charge of that development now makes the deals. At least he's not Hahn, but ......

I think he's worth more than you think. I also think he's worth less than you think if it were the other way around and the Sox were trying to get someone of his ilk. I'll take what Billy Beane got for 1 year of the the Shark. i'm not too stuck on top 100 or whatever. The real top 100 list when these guys actually get to the major leagues or fail, will look pretty different from what it looks like the day Cease gets traded. Getz just can't mess it up. It's pretty much his only bullet.

Pretend the White Sox were trying to acquire Dylan Cease. Then you would have a totally different opinion of what he would cost. Take that price, and then take the lowball you think he's worth because he wears a White sox uniform, and split the difference. That's probably pretty close to what the White Sox will get.

It’s cheaper that way. It would be a weird signing for a team that’s not delusional. Are they , like JR suggested, trying to win? If so, you need several pitchers. Is it a transitional year? Then you really don’t need this guy. As great as he once was with the glove and calling a game, even the Astros with all their bats were always contemplating replacing him. With the Sox, Pedro may bat him 5th.

Never provided much offense, but that’s OK for a catcher. Defensive slid, now Sox are interested? Don’t you actually have to have pitchers he could supposedly help?

If these are the types they are going for, their offense will make Iowa’s look competent. Could this mean the Salvy Perez stuff was BS?

Mark Cuban is selling a majority interest in the Mavs to Sheldon Aldelsons widow for $2 billion. He still will retain control . Like JR.

I just hope they emphasize quality over quantity.

DeJong sucks. He won't make it through the season without being released.

THUS ends the Justin Fields era.

He pitched 7 less innings in 2023 than 2022 and had 13 less strikeouts. So his stuff is still plenty good.

The funny thing is before Michael, the Bulls couldn't draw flies unless they were winning.

Since MJ left the Bulls, they are around 200 games below .500, and the Sox, even with a WS are around 50 below .500. Sell the teams JR, the industry has moved way past you. His entire legacy is built upon one player, a player he couldn't wait to leave so he could prove it was him. Something was proven, but not what JR wanted.

Never forget.

Gene Lamont was a good manager.

Maybe if the Bulls bring all these guys back next year, then it may work. What an idiotic organization. Since they couldn’t wait to start fresh without MJ so THEY would get more credit for championships, 191 games below .500 and no finals appearances.
