Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm

Tony LaRussa's hiring was perfectly emblematic for the vast levels of failure that are The Chicago White Sox.

what kind of sandwich will this thread turn into?

depending on the brand of sardines, that makes for a nice snack.

Without Liam, we don't get the Field of Dreams walk off. So his contract was worth the $$ for just that one blown save.

So Abreu walks and gets 19.5m a year. trade Hendriks and his 18m salary.... So sox are tearing it down, eh?

Can we stop bitching at each other.... we're here to suffer together

that looks... amazing.

Just hours from the anniversary

I love you hi8is

I look forward to the 174 page thread about some player this peanut butter and jelly franchise can't afford

This signing is: [ x ] not a reliever [ x ] less money than Joe Kelly checks two boxes for me.

I wonder if Rick Hahn needs a building permit to "build" a team that doesn't suck?

He came up a 2B, but Boston had Pedroia.

Seems to be a case of "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't"

I am guessing this is also why every person I see on twitter posting about their new jobs in the Sox Analytics dept are gone after a year.

Scroll to the bottom to the "Around the league" bullets: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2022/10/09/2022-mlb-award-predictions-aaron-judge-mvp-cy-young-rookie-picks/8221158001/ Total 100% White Sox move. Remember that time the Sox let Buerhle walk, but kept Konerko around?

Fan me says I hope so. Smart me says that's 15m to plug other holes. But with this GM, that probably means 3 more old relievers coming off of shoulder surgeries.

Tell me the Sox aren't re-signing Abreu without telling me the Sox aren't re-signing Abreu.... I think Hahn made it pretty clear. "We need to get Vaughn back to his natural position"

LOL

Speaking of tanking...The White Sox should fine ANY player that celebrates literally anything that happens on the field. f***, fine them for smiling if they're on camera. Bunch of losers. What are you celebrating? Enjoying the ride? Getting paid the same if you win or lose? Presumably the MLBPA would prevent something like this.

I don't think there's any way possible a monkey picking random bananas could have done worse than Rick Hahn did this past offseason.

Rick Hahn's punishment for being a decisively terrible GM and roster builder should be to manage the White Sox next year.

In the event you'd all like to throw up in your mouths a bit more as the season drags out.... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C4dU46AiC_pt1GtzakmASUg9UD_UnpG32kdRZ3clOnk/edit#gid=1520401900 Lots of dead weight to carry into 2023 and beyond. In quite the cluster f*** RickyGM finds himself. Pollock, Graveman, Grandal, Kelly, Leury, Diekman, Harrison, Bummer = $41,250,000 towards 2023 payroll. 41.25m == -0.3 WAR. (edit... errr. 2022 WAR and 2023 salary... sorry!) I don't understand how in the world Rick Hahn is still employed by the White Sox. If I was this incompetent at my job, I would have been run out of my profession years ago.
