He's a 2.5 war player if he could ever complete a season, but that's part of the problem.

It has to be true. Its insanity that any professional sports team would allow a manager/head coach to keep their job after putting up one of the worst seasons in your franchises history when the expectation was to compete for the division. The only thing that makes sense is JR didn't want to have to pay two managers.

I don't know what the magic number is, but common sense would say that a reliever trying to transition to a starter who hasn't thrown more than 25 innings in 2 years probably isn't going to have a long leash. At least for THIS season, which is why I think if he looks good in his innings this year he becomes way more attractive in the off-season.

Also I think I need to add this is probably the worst lineup I can ever recall seeing the White Sox put out.

I'd rather see Sosa batting third than Gavin Sheets, so I applaud that decision.

Because he is 100% going to get injured or shut down at some point towards the later part of the season. Hes thrown 25 innings since 2021 you just can't show up and throw 175-200 innings when you have been a reliever your entire career AND injured/recovering over the last season. The White Sox have made it pretty clear they are going to run him into the ground and not ease him into a starters role. Its inevitable that he will not be available at the end of the year. Having said that, if he can get around that 100 innings mark then he is probably in a good position to start pushing 150 or so next season which becomes way more enticing to a team trying to acquire him. Why would a team give up a high level package for him at the deadline if they can't use him down the stretch?

Crochet has mad 3 starts so its really premature to fix a value to him. He also is going to be limited this season, so again its hard to gauge exactly what he could be worth. I think if he can keep it up, you can get way more for him in the offseason as opposed to in season.

Meh, between the sell off at the deadline last year and the trades and signings this off-season I am pretty sure the only three people who don't believe this is a complete down to the studs rebuild is Grifol, Getz, and JR. And even they know it is, they just think they can fool the fans into thinking they have a "good roster".

It’s a force play wtf are they arguing about

wtf, they won 90 games man. That’s infinitely better then what we’re about to see this year.

The pitching is going to crater eventually, there’s just no talent there. It’s going to be real ugly eventually.

By swinging late on a 90 MPH fastball??

Wow, Benintendi actually gave a ball a ride??

That means absolutely nothing to me, but more power to you.

I can't stand Sheets, can't wait until that big goof is off this team. The guy sucks, yet hes somehow the cleanup hitter on this team lol.

Bingo, after this season he is in the same boat that Cease was in. Two years of control left and then he walks, especially if the three games we have seen so far is what he is capable of doing anytime he goes out.

They know this year is going to be bad, I don’t see an in season firing.

Same here

I was wrong, these guys will lose 110 easily

I’ve given up on these guys making the right move, I’m sure this won’t be the last young prospect who is thrown away for nothing. Nothing we can do about it, no point in arguing about it.

I would be shocked if it was the Achilles. When the Achilles blows, you go down.

He rounded first. It looked BAD if you believe his body language.

Lmao hooray!!

I never kid

I knew it! I saw it right away
