I could 100% see Reinsdorf keeping TLR, scapegoating Miguel Cairo and bringing in AJ Pierzynski to be the bench coach to "Light a fire under these guys". The players would revolt before all star break.

Not scoring a run while the bases are loaded with no outs wouldn't hurt so bad if this team didn't suck so much. It's baseball and shit like that happens.

I really wish they wouldn’t. Put us out of our misery please.

People call me crazy but I firmly believe that this team would be farther along if Rick Renteria were still the manager.

I don't think Chris Sale would ever come back here under any other circumstance.

Probably because the division is so winnable. I bet the Guardians are sitting back and waiting to see if the White Sox are making any moves.

Maybe if Contreras signed an extension with the White Sox. Imagine how stupid everyone would look if the Cubs resigned him in the offseason.

Wow it seems like Hahn is standing pat for real. I'm glad he's not trading prospects to try to save this season. If they don't make any trades today, I think we are in for a MAJOR retool in the offseason. I think that is the best course of action.

Twins are going to get Rodon and Happ, aren't they?

Screw that. I'm not trading anyone of significance to rent Jose Quintana for a few months.

What an embarrassment.

This is how we traded Fernando Tatis jr. for James Shields.

I am 100% in favor of trading higher priced assets for some younger ones who will help the team next year and beyond. Hell yes.

Nope. It’s all Fool’s gold. This has been a .500 team since last years all star break and there should be no moves made to prop up this team for this year. The front office should be focusing on 2023.

I hate these commercials with this lawyer dude.

If Tim Anderson goes to a team with a real coaching staff, he’d be an MVP candidate. He would flourish under someone like Ron Washington.

I think it has to be a major retool or they’ll have to tear it down to the studs and start all over again. The 2023 team should look nothing like the 2022 version, and that means they’ll have to trade some people who we thought were untradeable. I’m okay with either scenario as long as they send TLR back to Arizona.

I’m drinking and I’m ranting so excuse me but I’m pissed off because it really didn’t have to be this way with this team. I hate being the laughing stock of the league. The rebuild years were way better than whatever this bullshit is.

Something else to think about: If you’re a big time free agent, why would you want to come to this dysfunctional ass team? I mean who’s running the show? Is it the VP of Baseball Operations? Is it the General Manager? Or is it the decrepit old ass manager who only reports to the old ass owner? This team’s front office is so unprofessional. The owner isn’t interested in hiring the best manager available, he wants to hire people he’s familiar with. We got so lucky with Ozzie Guillen but what the fuck was Robin Ventura doing managing the team? What has he done since he left the White Sox?? And you just wait… I’d almost be willing to bet that AJ Pierzynski is the best manager because the owner likes him. Never mind that AJ has never coached or managed a professional team in his life.

This team should make ZERO moves to try to save the season. Any moves they make should be towards a retool for next year and beyond.

This is intriguing. I wonder if an AL Central All-Star team could beat the Yankees and Astros and win it all this season? I imagine Cease and Bieber would be your top 2 starters. Who would be the manager, Franconia or Hinch?

There’s no reason whatsoever to bring up Colas this season IMO. Some of Sox players were brought up too soon and I believe is a reason why some of us call them the dumbest team in baseball. Give him time to develop properly in minors and don’t ruin him. This 2022 team isn’t going anywhere anyway.

That's what I was thinking but I thought that maybe Bernstein's hatred for TLR might make him react a little differently.

Seems like Stone and Bernstein get along quite well. I wonder of Bernstein ever calls him out on his bullshit and blind faith in TLR?

I've lost a lot of respect for him over the past few years. And he so sensitive to fans who don't agree with his support for TLR. He gets all pissy when fans complain about TLR.
