Counterpoint: Why would a player of his talent want to come play for the Sox?

For a guy with big contract aspirations, he's in for a rude awakening. He'll be lucky to break $100M at the rate he is trending defensively and offensively.

Jerry needs his 2 hr concession cash window...

Giles would be nuts to come here. Like severely desperate.

Robert = Alex Rios 2.0

That contract is locked up behind Jerry's super double secret probation rules. Signed in blood.

I can totally see this being the case. I don’t think Katz makes it beyond this season regardless of what happens with Gio. Katz will be the FO’s scape goat with how horrible the pitching staff has been to start the year.

We all knew they weren't bringing Gio the minute he went to ARB with the Sox a few years back. Petty JR always gets what he wants.

This is very encouraging.

Oscar Colas - Ranked #76 in MLB Pipeline's Top 100. - Ranked #81 in Baseball America's Top 100.

And what exactly do you suggest or want them to do? Did you really want them to keep Diekman the whole season? You know Peralta is 24... He very well may be a future BP arm moving forward. Why not give the kid a chance until Crochet returns? Did you really want them to keep Colas right now where he clearly looked overmatched after only spending whopping 7 games in Charlotte last year? It's pretty obvious he needs to work on some stuff if he is going to have any resemblance of a productive major league career. Is losing Romy to some phantom IL stint really gonna hurt the team? He can't hit, he can't field - I think they'll survive without Rick Hahn's prodigal son. Sosa is the only guy I would have liked to see stay up, but it's pretty obvious they are still committed for whatever reason to Alberto and Andrus. I'd rather have him get consistent AB's than sit pine on a MLB team. It's a long season. I'd put my money this isn't the last time we see some roster turnover again.

At least it's something. Shuffling chairs is better than standing around.

I’m assuming Yoan is going to the 60, because he needs to be added to the 40-man. Sosa was officially sent down according to the transaction page.

Truly hate to admit it, but I will celebrate the day this fucker turns into worm food.

I think it's because of the losing streak. They desperately need a W, and having Colas in a lineup with Andrus and Sosa/Romy is not the best in terms of experience. Sheets at least has had moments of hitting the ball well at the MLB Level.

"We believe that Ricky Renteria's missing ceviche is the key to getting this ball club back on track."

I'm with you. I want to see them break the record and then some. The organization is well on their way to becoming a national embarrasment.

Well, he would have gotten his wish of literally dying in the booth then.

Personally I don’t want his son in charge either. The Bulls are a dumpster fire.

Yeah no way Hahn gets fired. He’ll be rewarded this offseason with a bump up to VP with Getz taking over.

The 1942 Sox would go on to finish 66-82... Gonna be a hell of a year.

I'd agree with you that this is spot on. Soxfest being cancelled alone probably saves Jerry a nice penny.

Honestly no clue. I thought it was more about preventing green space going towards a building, but I could be wrong. Would have been a huge tourist attraction that would have helped the city. It’s a shame.

Yep. Whole lot of stupid prevent a cool thing.

I can’t support a rebuild with the same group of assholes running the show. Hahn should have been fired years ago. Only thing you can do right now is hope for some miraculous lightning in a bottle season followed by the death of Jerry so we can escape this hell.
