Rushing a player to the big leagues is something that the Sox have done for years. Hasn't worked. Glad the player has ambition, but he has to prove he is ready.

Looks like another 120-loss season.

Maybe the Sox would have a deeper fan base if the actually tried to build one. And Cub fans? They're idiots.

What Dick Allen said and then some. Right now, all JR cares about is a new stadium and his new TV network. Building a winning team? Not so much. And all this nonsense about "being open to selling"? That was nothing but crap. When will the team be a contender? No one knows and that includes the White Sox. Fans are being scammed as always. What a joke.

No, keep Crochet and try to build around him. Trading him seems to me like constant rebuilding that leads nowhere. Are they trading him to get value or are they trading him to save money? In the future how many more budget moves are made while the team goes nowhere. Sorry, I've been a fan for a long time and have had enough of rebuilding. This team should be keeping and developing talent instead of trading it away. I will not assume that they will get a good return.

Allen was scarred by his experience in Arkansas. He is still the most talented player I had ever seen play on the White Sox. He had his issues and under-achieved. I think he enjoyed his experience in Chicago. He really should have a better career.

On the surface, this doesn't make sense: Trading a great talent with little guarantee the team will get a good value in return. There is nothing like a rebuild. How did that last one go?

No fan has seen a home run until he/she sees a Dick Allen home run.

Getz supporters are saying he is slowly bringing in good baseball people into the organization. He then believes that the organization will acquire and develop talent. He keeps warning fans that it will take a long time. When will the team contend for something? One can only guess but expectations are low for the immediate future. I am one that believes a manager is important. And so is the remaining franchise infrastructure. Bringing in knowledgeable baseball people can only help after years of incompetence. But money still has to be spent, and free agency cannot be ignored. The team has to at least show some kind of progress. Promising a great future while losing 100 games will get old. Just what is the 2025 roster going to look like?

No need to worry. Like the Sox, the Bears are rebuilding. They will return to the Super Bowl when the Sox return to the World Series. Each will have a new stadium.

At one time, the Sox had a talented group of young players consisting of Robert, Eloy, Cease, Kopech, and Moncada. Four are no longer with the team, and in reality, only one lived up to expectations. I wonder if the FO ever asked itself what happened. But don't worry. Another 100-loss season is on the way. Perhaps two.

Considering the White Sox have been rebuilding for a long time, I found the "no shortcuts" line condescending.

Hopefully not on the White Sox. The team already has enough problems.

At least they hired someone with no connection to the White Sox and a man who has a good resume. Change has to start somewhere. A winning team? We don't know when that will happen. I'd feel even better if JR lets Getz build this team even with recent results. No Tony LaRussa or other weird controlling behind the scenes. It appears that Venable is a good man.

I won't be watching the Sox on TV next season. I refuse to listen to those two fools in the broadcast booth.

I thought when Vaughn first came here, he would develop into a solid hitter. Hasn't happened. Time to move on from him and Sheets.

Then Jerry and other business people can do the developing. Many times stadiums do nothing to develop a neighborhood. JR has had one free stadium. He doesn't deserve another. A businessman shouldn't be rewarded like this when he has run his business into the ground. If he wants help from the state, he needs to put up some real money. And then show a real effort to put a team together. He shouldn't get a new stadium for a team that loses 100 games. This isn't about developing a neighborhood. This is about JR making himself richer than he already is.

This franchise has lost 222 games in the last two years. Why should it be given any public funds with this record?

The 2000s were great. The team had a lot of talent, and they actually won something. But everything fell apart after that. Ozzie did his disappearing act in 2011 when they should have fired his ass. Then there was the strange hiring of Robin Ventura who looked clueless. Things only worsened since then. Hard to believe how far this franchise has fallen. And it can't get up.

Good to see no wild card making it to the Series.

Usually, when a public figure leaks something to the media, he wants to accomplishment something. I don't know what JR wanted to accomplish, because I am no mind reader. However, as usual, he did more to hurt his and his organization's credibility than anything else. When there is no sale and no move, it will become obvious this was a BS move. And if JR thought the idea of a move will help him gain leverage for his new stadium, he's living in the 1980s. Like I said, this was a joke. So, when Chris Getz tells us he is on the right rebuilding track, I won't believe him. Hey Chris, how is the sale of the team going?

Is this a really good time for the Stewart group to buy the Sox? The team is in horrible shape. There is no stadium in Nashville if they want to move. A new stadium in Chicago isn't happening, at least for now. Other than using Nashville for leverage, I don't see why this story was leaked to the media. Don't know what Reinsdorf is trying to accomplish with this.

Dead franchise walking.

It is hard being a White Sox fan. I don't see the team improving that much. Contention is a long time away. JR only cares about his new stadium and television network. Forget the team.

Since when have the Sox had a good backup plan? This is nothing but another fiasco further ruining the team's credibility. They just lost 121 games. Improve the damn team.
