Except, this is exactly how Grifol sounded when he was hired. Said all the right things, sounded professional before he stepped into the dugout. Continually talked about being smart and well-prepared. He proved to be the exact opposite of that. Turned out to be one of the worst managers in the history of the team in just 2 years time.

Wow, amazing. JR looks even more like a dinkus after this comment. Pony up Jerry! No one is on your side.

Reinsdorf: "My version of skin in the game is passive aggressively threatening to move the team to Nashville."

Posturing for stadium money in Chicago

And if they can't get the funding for a stadium in Chicago, how the hell do they think they'll get it elsewhere?

Key word: presumably

This is MLB's wet dream

If anything it would have maybe been a closer wild card race if the Sox won a few more games against them. Maybe Seattle gets in. But I don't think it makes that much more of a difference.

But they were one of the best teams (maybe the best?) in baseball in the 2nd half. They made the playoffs because they beat up on other teams too, not just the Sox. KC had the same record against the Sox as Detroit did and they were right ahead of Detroit in the standings so it's not like it matters much.

I think AJ Hinch has made a big difference on that Tigers team (ironically, he shouldve been the Sox mgr instead of TLR). Detroit has no business being 1 win away from the ALCS. He should get a lot of credit for that. The right manager can absolutely make a difference over time. And if they really want to start changing the makeup of this organization, they need to start now, and the new manager should be an indicator of what kind of team they are trying to build for the future.

Arlington Heights 😂

Does anyone know if a clear signal would reach western Michigan?

Chuck: "So what is your approach going into this season as the full time DH?" Eloy: "No fucking clue Chuckeroo."

Gone are the days of #35, #14, and #79. We sure were spoiled at the first base position for decades

Hoping he gets better like Benetti did and also Beckham.

This is so depressing

Apologies if this has been discussed but are chuck and Ozzie moving over to chsn?

My God what a putrid lineup. Single -A teams could beat this team.

For me, it's purely the memories and nostalgia with my dad and friends from childhood. And the investment I've made following the team. I've lived in Michigan for almost 10 years now surrounded by Tigers fans. I have no desire to jump on the bandwagon. But I will say, after not watching much Sox baseball over the last couple years, I have paid more attention to the league in general. It's help to broaden my understanding of the game and appreciate the sport even more.

I'm glad these articles are coming out and it's getting national attention. It really is the only way the tide can change. More of this=more pressure on Jerry to sell. That said, is anyone really surprised at the result of this season? I mean, I don't think anyone was expecting worst team of all time, but after closely following this team for the last 15 years of my life, it doesn't really surprise me one bit.

He probably kept asking them if he could play the outfield and they were like "send his ass down."

I hope information like this keeps coming out and enough pressure is put on Jerry to where he caves and sells. Do I think it will happen? Hell no. But I hope it does, things like this have happened before.

Sox fans are out there. If the team was competitive, it would likely be close in attendance to the Cubs. While the Sox park is a decent and underrated venue (I refuse to call it guaranteed rate field, it's such a stupid name and logo and is just another idiotic business move by JR), it doesn't have the charm, history, or neighborhood that Wrigley does. So when the Cubs aren't doing well, fans have the ballpark and that also pulls in tourists as well. Attendance for Sox games is completely tied to how competitive the team is. It ain't better at the ballpark if the product on the field is ass. Fans will stay home and find something else to do with their summer. If the Sox are good, vying for the playoffs, there isn't another place on earth where you can feel the energy quite like you can on the Southside. And it's such a damn shame that has been stripped from us because of incompetence by the people who try to run the organization.

I can't wait ti see if Jerry references this article when he, allegedly, speaks at the end of the season.
