If Andrew Vaughn's dismal performance continues, he'll soon be at serious risk of being DFA'd, and that $6M in arb salary for this single year might be the biggest payday he ever sees. But, yeah, cruise control. A more apt analogy would be a car set ablaze, careening towards a cliff, with no driver at the wheel...

Dude has no track record of success to fall back on, but sure, he is on cruise control with his entire baseball future hanging in the balance. That is some galaxy brain s%*#.

Non-tendering him last winter was a no brainer. Another outstanding use of limited resources.

Baldwin is looking better than any of the corpses Getz brought in, and that's saying something.

And Getz was supposed to spare us all a wasted year...

Legit impressed with his plate discipline. Refreshing to see in a big league debut.

Non-tendering him at his arb number this year was a no brainer. They would have to eat cash to get anything in return.

WTP...

give it time

Vargas did a thing?

Give the kid a hit!

There's the White Sox we all know and love...

Vaughn goes before Vargas IMO.

Remember when the White Sox crushed lefties?

Sosa has more use than Vaugh, though they both looked clueless there...

Why wait for a non tender when a DFA is quicker...

This is less Jerry playing politics as it is Jerry engaging in a rather corrupt quid pro quo with an idealogical regime that wields regulatory and investigative bodies for their own ends. It's pretty disgusting, but also totally unsurprising.

Carriers do want local sports. They just want the best deal for their side, and they have the leverage. CHSN is a drop in the bucket for Comcast, so they can hold out until the RSN captitulates.

This what is known as grasping at straws.

The level of disconnect is astounding. The point IS to draft better, scout better internationally, and acquire better talent in trades and waiver claims, etc. And develop better. But its not like the guy in charge now, who shall never have any blame placed at his feet, has or has had any responsibility for any these areas in which the White Sox organization has failed miserably. Nope, none whatsoever. Not in the past, present, or future. All is sunshine and roses in Getz land... Holy f*** this level of mental gymnastics has to be exhausting...

But Jerry didnt want to waste a year... Yet he'll gladly waste a decade on a lazy internal hire...

Taking victory laps over missing the point, or ignoring the point, or simply refusing to acknowledge the validity of said point. Canario is just a guy. Talented, but flawed. But he’s exactly the type of guy Getz should be acquiring and giving a long look vs playing the Jankowskis of the world everyday. It’s not even really about Canario, but more about Getz’s imbecilic backwards process, and his refusal to do everything possible to improve the long term future of the team.

Why would MLB step in? Manfred works for the owners, and not for the good of the game.
