I wouldn't be surprised if they went "The kids can play" route. We shall see.

Your optimism overwhelms me. A payroll of $153 million is something that I will believe when I see it.

Stone is smart enough to know that the White Sox are his last stop in his broadcasting career. At his age he wouldn't be hired by anybody else.

JR is going to come to his senses and fire Hahn and make me the White Sox GM.

Does anybody know how much more the TV deal is paying the White Sox? I haven't read anything as too how much the new deal is worth.

JR has said for many years that a winning team is expensive. Keep in mind that Forbes magazine said that the 2018 white Sox (which lost 100 games) were the 6th most profitable team in MLB. As long as the team payroll is low the white Sox franchise is a goldmine for JR and his investors.

How about Renteria AND Hahn going to the Northside and Maddon AND Epstein coming to the Southside.

I would be a better owner than a GM. I'm dead serious about this.

With Robert and Madrigal in the 2020 White Sox lineup I don't expect Hahn to add much to the lineup this off season. Marco Gonzales was rumored to be traded a few months ago. He might be a target for Hahn. He's young and he 's a lefty. something the White Sox don't have in their rotation. Hopefully they will acquire either Odorizzi or Wheeler to help out the starting rotation. Other than acquiring starting pitching I don't expect a lot of activity from Hahn.

In todays Sun Times Renteria said the organization has to go outside and acquire some players for next season. He said that this will be a very important off season for the White Sox. It will be interesting how this plays out. I don't think they're going to spend a lot of money to sign free agents but we shall see.

I'm under the impression that Giolito, Kopech, Cease and Lopez will be in the White Sox starting rotation in 2020. I'm hoping they're having second thoughts about Lopez. I realize that the White Sox minor league system isn't loaded with pitching but I'm hoping that they acquire somebody who can take the place of Lopez. If anything put Lopez in the bullpen pitching long relief.

Your optimism amazes me. I wish I felt the same way about the White Sox signing some good free agents. I hope you"re right.

I've always thought that this so called rebuild has not been taken seriously by the Owner and management. This has always rubbed me as if the team wins, fine and if they lose, so what. As long as the owners are making money I don't think they really care if this team starts winning. Still, this has gotten to the point where some changes have to be made. After Saturdays night loss Renteria should be fired ASAP. The White sox lost on a walkoff home run that wasn't a home run. All Renteria had to do was challenge the play and the replay clearly showed it was not a home run. Even the White Sox TV announcers confirmed that before todays game. Renteria should have been fired before todays game.

Let Boston take Hahn and have JR sign DD.

When the White Sox brought in Carson Fulmer last night, Steve Stone mentioned that Fulmer has to start taking advantage of being called up again. Stone said the 2020 rotation is going to be Giolito, Lopez, Cease, Kopech and probably Rodon and Dunning. Some people seem to think that Stone has become a mouthpiece for JR and judging by his comments last night, he seemed like he was telling White Sox fans don't expect any pitchers to be added via free agency.

I never thought the attendance would be as high as it has been the last few years. Last year the team drew 1.6 million with a team that lost 100 games. I remember the 1970 team that drew less that 500,000. I never thought they would draw this many people with such bad teams. Seems to me that the attendance has been decent because of the low ticket prices and the decent promotions like dollar dog Wednesday and T-shirt Thursday. It doesn't cost as much as going to the Northside of Chicago where everything is super expensive. I hope they don't start over charging like they did in the past.

JR use to read his mail. I've received numerous letters where he responded to me in the past. I don't know if he still reads his mail. I wouldn't waste my time writing to Hahn. I don't want to be associated with the Rick Hahn Dynasty Era.

Wouldn't the signing of Dallas Keuchel have helped this team this year? Instead they've had Manny Banuelos, Ross Detwiler, Odrisamer Despaigne, Ervin Santana, Hector Santiago, Ryan Burr and Carson Fulmer in the starting rotation. It gives some people the impression that the team is losing/tanking on purpose. AND of course, laughing all the way to the bank in doing so.

I will never give up my goal of being the White Sox GM until I'm at least interviewed for the job by JR or if he ever responds to my letters telling me he's not interested in hiring me. Until then I will keep writing him letters requesting to be interviewed for the GM job. Who knows, JR might come to his senses and interview me. I would absolutely impress him enough where I'm sure that he would hire me.

David Glass has sold the Royals. He thinks being 83 years old the franchise would be better off with a younger person owning the team. Isn't JR 83 years old?

I can't help but wonder if Thomas will no longer be working for the White Sox. If this upsets JR, Thomas might not be welcomed back in the future. Once you're on JRs bad side you remain on his bad side forever.

The White Sox were 6th most profitable team in MLB in 2018.

If I was the owner I would not of signed Chatwood. That would of been the job of the GM. I would not interfere with a GM. If I had a successful GM like Larry Himes I would let him run the show.

Tyler Chatwood is 5-2 this year with a low ERA.

1) Harry Caray would have finished his career with the White Sox, not on the Northside. Both JR and Einhorn hated Caray and Caray hated them. I always thought JR and Einhorn were jealous of how popular Caray was. I would have signed Caray up as soon as I got control of the team. He belonged on the Southside of Chicago. 2) Sportsvision was a flop. It didn't do well because the Chicagoland area wasn't wired for cable at the time. I would have waited until the area was wired for cable. 3) The White Sox would be playing in a stadium in the South Loop at Roosevelt and Clark. When JR was looking for a new stadium the City of Chicago wanted to build a stadium at Roosevelt and Clark. JR declined the offer. He wanted to move the team to Dupage County in a stadium where he owned the land. He would have reaped tax benefits at that location even tho the stadium would have been owned by the State of Illinois. Southside Sox had a very extensive article about the the South Loop stadium in column that was written by RobHart780 on November 9, 2012. Bruce Levine wrote a similar column a few years ago. 4) The new White Sox stadium would have been a stadium that White sox fans would have been proud of. JR changed the original design of the present stadium. He wanted the 2nd level of suites which made the upper deck what it is. The critics savaged the new stadium because of the dreadful upper deck. One of the writers kept calling the upper deck the Reinsdeck. The lower deck is a wonderful place to see a game. The upper deck has ruined the park and it was JRs doing. I would have never approved this stadium with this upper deck, never. JR should have gotten a kick in his rear end for messing with the original design of this stadium. 5) The only positive things you can say about JRs ownership is that the franchise has made him nothing but money. The only other positive thing you can say about his ownership is winning the 2005 World Series. Other than those 2 things,his ownership has been a flop.
