It'll never get old watching Luis Robert glide around CF.

Taylor's appearance today would be more interesting than 99,9 of the regular season innings we'll watch this year so naturally it isn't televised.

The Sox operate as if their goal is to alienate as many fans as possible. maybe it actually is.

Yup. I've stopped posting on here because constant doomerism & negativity isn't good for anyone. But what's the point of getting emotionally invested in any of the Sox current prospects if you know they'll be gone in 4-5 years if they become stars.

Banninster openly acknowledging they have no chance to keep elite talents like Crochet or Cease long-term is pretty bleak.

The Dodgers have 2 World Series titles in their 11 year run of dominance. There is no amount of talent they could stockpile that outweighs the randomness of October baseball.

Sasaki likely left several hundred million dollars on the table coming to MLB early but somehow he's a villain?

2/3s of baseball has no chance to compete financially with the Dodgers and must find other ways to win. But big market franchises like the Yankees, Cubs, Astros, Red Sox, Phillies etc could operate like this and choose not to. Their ownership group is willing to go to levels other teams aren't both in terms of MLB payroll *and* player development. That's why they are the gold standard organization in MLB right now and players like Ohtani (SF and TOR offered him the same contract) + Sasaki want to play there when everything else is equal.

It's not even close. Prospect crushes die hard.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if they move McLain to the outfield.

I don't think you can say Fletcher has to stay on the 40 man roster let alone play every day during the season.

"It is unknown precisely how many teams Sasaki met with. The Dodgers, Mets, Yankees, Cubs, Giants, and Rangers all reportedly received an in-person meeting with him. But there could be others. Wolfe declined to list any teams or provide a number during a webinar with reporters to update where things stand with the coveted pitcher." “The timeline for Round 2 is going to lead right up until he signs,” Wolfe said. “We’re still talking and having Zoom calls. So I don’t have a precise timeline for that, like we did for the meetings. Teams will be notified at some point if there’s going to be additional meetings or travel or something like that. But other than that, I don’t believe there’s going to be any specific timeline.” White Sox were mentioned 0 times in this article for those of you without an Athletic subscription.

The roster is worse than last year but they'll still win more than 50.
