Tony

No it isn't.

The cancer is still VERY MUCH THERE

The answer is "It doesn't matter" If the fans had 1% of say in anything White Sox related, Rick, Kenny and Jerry would have been out of here literally decades ago. Fans will bend over and take what the White Sox choose to give them. Don't like it? Don't need ya. And you better stay out of White Sox business.

No, the Hamilton-Pujols-Upton signings were just a joke, and LAA has been famous for those, obviously the Sox don’t come anywhere close to those kind of contracts. But the general idea is still there and my bet is Jerry would be OK with contracts like those…the Angels would have one more team to deal with during negotiations for all those players because it’s clear the ML scouting department for the Sox has been an absolute joke.

Which makes a lot of sense. Both organizations get outshadowed by the other team in the market, they both try and grab headlines but it's usually for older, over-priced talent. Both organizations have found some great talent as well, but have no idea how to put it together into an actual team, and both spend their resources in the wrong areas.

Well said

No thanks

I know this sounds goofy, but I don’t think it’s the end of the world if Fields ain’t it. It’s a totally different situation than Mitch. The whole idea with Mitch was the team was pretty much ready to go and in order to make the cap work, you needed a QB on a rookie deal to make everything “fit” This team is obviously rebuilding and the new regime is figuring out who works and who doesn’t. If they decide Fields isn’t it, while it sucks having to spend more capital on ANOTHER QB, the timeline isn’t as impacted as it was with Mitch. Yes, Fields working out would make everything so much easier, but different situation than Mitch

I totally agree....and as we've seen him start to air it out a little bit...it's looking more and more like he has zero idea where the ball is going, and just isn't seeing the field.

The White Sox organization is the equivalent of someone spending a bunch of money to fix up an apartment that is in a bad building, and bad neighborhood. The end product might look nice on the surface, but when you look a little deeper, you realize the improvements were made to a place that had a bad foundation, and there isn't a ton of upside to your investment. The point is, it's very clear this organization isn't built to succeed in the current baseball landscape. They are behind the times, like always. Day to day coaching, analytics, support staff & training, as well as the minor league system and coaching. It's rotten at the core. It's not just TLR, it's not just Hahn, it's not just Kenny, it's not even just JR. It's ALL of it. Nothing changes until it's all flushed out.

Is anyone even enjoying or really getting satisfaction out of these articles? I guess it’s nice to see different media types on different platforms going in on the Sox, but it’s the same point over and over again, and the same point most of us have been saying forever. Nothing changes until new ownership arrives. Until then, we’ll be stuck in the same loop. I know that doesn’t give us much else to talk about, but it’s just the reality of the situation.

And it's not a surprise to see some of the teams including in that area of the graph...Tampa, Minny, Cleveland, San Fran, St. Louis, Milwaukee....all franchises that over the last decade + have shown they are usually ahead of the curve on things, certainly much moreso than the Sox.

Could you image going to this one? It would be like paying to attend a funeral

I fear the White Sox FO will feel the same way as OP this offseason...

There is a lot of "sizzle" in the names you listed off, but really not sure how much "steak" there really is... Not sure Robert will ever see 500 PA's in a season. I don't know what the hell Moncada is, but 2019 Moncada hasn't been seen in quite some time. Eloy is a DH and is paid market value, not a lot of surplus there. You have a core in Cease-Anderson-Kopech-Vaughn, and then a bunch of question marks. The problem is a lot of the question marks are paid a lot of money, along with a collection of talent that are no longer question marks, they are just bad. And they're being paid a lot of money to be bad. This season was an absolute DISASTER for the franchise. Not sure how it could have gone worse, honestly. I really don't know where they go from here.

I know these jobs are in VERY high demand...but who worth a damn wants to inherit this mess? Sorry, this isn't just an overreaction to tonight, as listed above, the Sox have an insane amount of money tied into a collection of talent that simply can't compete in the worst division in baseball. The system is still in the bottom third of the league and the entire organization needs to be re-started, for an owner who likes to do things "his own way"

I truly don't care. I'm really not interested in the soap opera that I assume this off-season will be. They don't deserve the attention. They'll have another clown show of an off-season like always, because it's who they are at their core. It's truly "White Sox Business" as Kenny so eloquently put it all those years ago.

Been that way since about the middle of April. f***'em all.

It's funny, the longer TLR is gone, you realize two things. Tony has been a huge issue, while also realizing he is FAR from the only problem. It goes so much deeper than that

This is who they are

IT TOOK YOU THIS LONG?!?!

What a fucking joke.

Kind of a perfect way to end this season with the Sox only trade deadline acquisition blowing it
