Says he wants to be the Sox opening day shortstop in 2025: https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2024/11/20/white-sox-colson-montgomery-will-venables-arizona-fall-league-mlb-chicago

I can only speak for myself but I recall reading them as soon as Moncada had to go on the IL which was shortly after the season began. His back injury was aggravated by the half way around the world flights he was on for Cuba.

True and JR is still the owner, the ultimate wild card.

I remember with Moncada there were published reports he hurt his back playing for Cuba in the WBC shortly before the regular season started, if memory serves that was in 2022. It was reported by a number of outlets again if I remember right.

Exactly correct Eberflus is a dead coach walking.

I haven't seen this reported anywhere can you provide a link to what you watched.

It's in tremendous shape, the Dodgers put a lot of time and effort into keeping it so. It may not be replaced in 20 years. They just had a multi million dollar renovation for the All-Star Game for example.

Dodger Stadium says "hello..."

The McCaskey family hired him for one reason only and it has nothing to do with what happens on the field, he was hired to somehow extort a new stadium for them.

What do you expect from acknowledged Cub fans?

I did interview Bart, never did Terry.

I think they were excellent relief pitchers, some of the best in the game... there was no reason to even consider them as starting pitchers. Gossage told me Forster had the best arm he's ever seen for a pitcher. Tom Bradley told me he thought Bart Johnson had the best arm. Again the only reason the Sox did it in 1976 is because they had very few other options as that team was a disaster.

From MLB.com: Nov. 13: These clubs could be involved in trade market for Crochet Although the White Sox didn't move Crochet prior to the Trade Deadline, there appears to be little doubt about their intentions for the left-hander this offseason. "They're going to trade him this winter," a rival evaluator told ESPN's Buster Olney at the GM Meetings last week. "It's not a matter of if; it's a question of when." Olney shed some light on Crochet's potential market in an article for ESPN+ (subscription required) on Wednesday, noting that general manager Chris Getz is looking for "a package of prospects constructed around at least one high-ceiling youngster to anchor the deal." Chicago's preference is for that main piece to be a position player, but the team is open to a pitcher being the centerpiece, "depending on the depth and quality of the prospects offered." Based on conversations with industry sources, Olney names the Phillies, Padres, Yankees, Dodgers, Braves, Orioles, Red Sox and Mets as teams that could pursue a Crochet trade.

Goose was always a relief pitcher until the Sox made him a starter in the 1976 season along with Forster because they did not have any other options.

If you say so. The mayor also wants to be reelected and the way his administration appears to be incompetent the last thing he wants is a public revolt over giving billionaire owners money. Anything can happen but the way the wind is blowing as well as numerous statement by the Governor appear to show new stadiums for the McCaskey family and JR are as much a pipe dream as the Bears winning a Super Bowl or the White Sox the World Series.

Correct, but it will be linked (fairly or not) in the mind of the public at large and groups/individuals will be sure to make that connection public, again fairly or not. Under the current climate I can't see any politician willing to stick their neck out for JR or the McCaskey family.
