Jerksticks

I’m not sure how the organization works either. What we know is that they’ve had some high payrolls but they’ve also never signed a large contract for a top tier player. Both are true. It is what it is only until it isn’t.

Yea this guy sucks wtf are we doing

My opinion is that we still need a lot of good players. Once we get good players I’ll probably become a fan again.

Really need to hit him where it hurts. Need articles with tons of interviews confirming things like: “he’s not a sportsman”, “won’t be remembered as a sportsman”, “probably won’t be remembered as a sports team owner”, “has never had the respect of other owners or reporters”, “never had what it takes to have a competitive nature”, “not a man’s man”, didn’t have the cajones to compete with the big teams and build a preeminent franchise”, “just a middling man only able to sustain a middling franchise” Just all kinds of cheapy, low blow ego attacks that make him seam sports adjacent instead of part of the sporting community. venting done

For sure. Reminds me of whoever blew up Dickman had no business even being on the field if I remember right. Ended Dickman’s breakout momentum

Yes!

3. Why JR credits this thread for giving Soto the first billion dollar contract next year

What’s attendance like this year?

I’ve still never watched him play but that’s super concerning. I feel like KW mostly targeted good players with his sneaky deals. They could find TCQ, Eaton. They had their misses for sure too. It’s early but Getz’ trades feel like they’re leaning miss overall.

I get your point but it seems like the one path to sustained success is the pipeline. That’s it. Having the best pipeline should be the investment

lol just trade him now for Burger straight up

If I was suddenly in charge I would double or triple the going salaries for top FO & scouting talent and poach from the best organizations. Take the $35M or whatever wasted on vets every year and pump it directly into the infrastructure instead. Let Corlas, Baldwin, Dickman type guys start. You never know

This is one of your best and should be worked into the Soxtalk constitution somewhere

Ah good idea ?
