Seemingly everyone but the White Sox is in on this, including the Padres and their 30 shortstops.

Hawk approves.

32?

You don't swallow your tongue during a seizure. It's a myth. They broke his tooth trying to prevent it.

Thank you. I was tired of this PB&J slander.

You're missing the part where we sign Yasiel Puig to fill in for Eloy. He is then convicted by the feds 10 days later.

2023 Season - Padres: Colas ROY, Giolito Top 5 Cy Young Voting, Crochet either stretched out into a starter or stabilizes the Padres bullpen, Montgomery ends year as #1 prospect. Face Jose Abreu in the World Series. White Sox: Tatis runs into Eloy Jimenez on a routine fly ball, both are out 6 months.

For maximum SoxTalk carnage: Back to the Sox for Montgomery, Colas, Crochet and Giolito.

Somehow I missed this and now my expectations are high and I'm prepared to be crushed after a foodie says we're trading for Devvers.

Oh let me try this. Sean Burke, Gavin Sheets and Jose Rodriguez for Gleyber Torres. Definitely not a 90% of the board thing, but there'd be celebrators.

I have a problem with it because of this on top of the other ads. We already have the Grand Slam brought to you by Honda, walks brought to you by Dr. Scholl's, every spot in the stadium has an ad. The outfield walls used to have cool ass portraits of retired numbers, but those are now ads. I find the Nationwide jingle fun because Jason and Steve ham it up, but plenty don't. So leave one thing, especially if teams cry poor. Soccer doesn't have commercials, so ads are more understandable. Edit: If they tried to make it match the uniform like some NBA sponsors (Boston's GE and Cleveland's Goodyear were legit patches), I wouldn't mind as much.

My expectations are low and I plan on being disappointed.

Then after the third he pitched 92.1 innings with a 4.09 ERA at age 38-39. Which is pretty good.

You'd think Humber would have taught us not to dream. Man truly left it all on the field in Seattle.

Daniel Hudson, Nathan Eovaldi and Jameson Taillon like Cali said. Jason Isringhausen came back after a third Tommy John. Old friend Joakim Soria.

But for some reason, fans will be subjected to this:

Imagine being the White Sox and turning away players like Jose Abreu and Carlos Rodon, only for 100 win teams (and reigning champs) to sign and meet with them. Weak s%*#.

I mean, yes. The only reason we all wanted Jose to stay is because he's a franchise legend that continues to rake, not because 1B is a void.

But why Boston

Trade for James McCann, obviously.

And even if he was a Black Sox, Buck Weaver. Historically it goes to shortstop. But Frank Thomas - Paul Konerko - Jose Abreu starting at first base from 1991 to 2022 is the absolute historical peak of any position (technically, Greg Norton started 1998 at 1B and Thomas at DH, but whatever). If Vaughn lives up to his potential, then first base begins to have an argument.

This thread is overdue. No bad vibes in the Abreu appreciation thread, only love for a franchise GOAT (20th in fWAR, if you want a quantifiable stat). Here's hoping his Houston tenure boosts his shot at the Hall, even if that gives the Sox a tougher road.

You're off by 10 years.

Then why aren't we questioning the age of every single player not born in the United States? How do we know Luis isn't actually 32 years old? Because it's stupid. All this is is profiling older Cuban players that defected when they had the chance.
