Bad take...

Chris Young, GM for the Rangers, played on the Royals 2015 championship team. He's avoided hiring anyone from there! I mean...

Its the Joe Maddon move 2.0 I bet Ross moves up to the front office.

SP - Blake Snell and Aaron Nola 3B - Matt Chapman RF - Teoscar Hernandez 2B - Trade - Jorge Polanco C - Mitch Garver Trade Moncada and Sheets for arms SS - Let Colson play.

Rangers took two seasons....but they had quality talent in the pipeline before Seager and Semien and then Eovaldi and Degrom. Jung, Heim, Lowe, Garcia, and Carter. Hence my comment about young talent. They have to do all three, not just spend. Then you're the Mets.

The White Sox can rebound...They can be that team that loses 90-100 and wins in a couple years. BUT They have they have to spend the money and spend it wisely (enough bullpen big contracts) Hire GOOD coaching to keep the team focused all season. They have to start DEVELOPING Young talent. No more drafting and signing talent and letting them "find themselves". Will they? Probably not.

I always wished my second World Series parade would be in Chicago again... But taking my youngest son to his first parade (my oldest got to go in 2005) will be special.

Bochy had a previous relationship with Rangers GM Chris Young. That and the promise to get good players helped lure him out of retirement. I don’t think the Sox could have matched that.

I moved to Texas. Go Rangers. ?

The Fans of the teams will always remember. Who cares who else does?

Its a party right now in North Texas

Wasted so many years…

Salvador Perez Whit Merrifield Kevin Appier Lorenzo Cain David DeJesus Mike Sweeney

Its almost like the Phillies have coaching and player development

I doubt Bochy would have come out of retirement for the White Sox. Chris Young has a relationship with him from his playing days and showed him the roadmap for their success...good farm system and SPENDING $$$$$$

ESPN, for once, didn't forget the White Sox!!!

You know...its funny. The White Sox tried to do it the Rangers way. Sucked. Got high draft picks. Signed/Traded for young talent. Courted big name free agents. Difference? Ownership/Management. Couldn't scout or develop the young talent and ownership would not pay the free agents. What could have been...

Its amazing the effect of first and second year, homegrown players, are having on those teams. Develop talent, sign good free agents and have experienced management lead them. Seems simple.

Houston fans and media were not happy with Jose until the last few days. Trust me they have been bitching about his contract all season and not liking the signing. That being said...I'm really happy for Jose and I will be seeing him Wednesday.

Go Rangers!

I feel the discussion starts with Kim Ng as President of Baseball Operations and it goes from there.

Go Rangers! ?
