Salvy will help but you are looking at blah stats from him the rest of his career. His leadership will help of course. But they've got no reliable starters now that Cease stinks. And the bullpen has to be one of the worst in Sox history. They've got no bats besides Robert. And their defense is blah to bad. Beni is one of their best players. Yikes. All they can do this offseason is see what they can get for Moncada and TA. Big deal. Those will be the big trades. Nobody on here has even produced a feasible "plan" for the offseason. Sox have maybe 3-4 guys other teams would take in a trade off the big league roster. Sox will have about 45 wins max at this stage of the 2024 season.

Lip Man 1 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 From DVS story on this afternoon's carnage: "It was the latest remind of just how big a job new general manager Chris Getz is facing. Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, expressing belief in the Sox’ core just last week, is trying to convince fans another rebuild isn't necessary, not with the current core, a core that has the Sox holding a 53-85 record, reaching new depths below the .500 mark with each passing day." ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Rockies still look to be 2 1/2 ahead for third pick.

caulfield12 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Only the White Sox could somehow manage to instill less hope in fans with the Grifol/Getz combo. Not even sure Theo Epstein would be able to fix this mess because he wouldn't have FA's to eventually turn to. Whatever is required...it's far beyond the capabilities of Chris Getz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I’ve been this disinterested in the Sox in my lifetime. Blows Expand Because somehow...the Rockies will get a future HoF at 1-3 and we'll get another Royals/Sox pick at #4. At this point...might as well root for the Royals again to get better than the Sox in 2024 to make this whole situation look even more embarrassing. Only then can they get attendance all the way down to the 1.2-1.3 million mark. Once upon a time...there was a IL state subsidy if those numbers ever went below 800,000. They might be challenging it at this rate over the next 2-3 seasons. Especially if they capitulate and trade Robert. Not being able to sell ads for their own sports network might also do the trick. 10,646 poor souls at Burning Man/Dante's Inferno at KC. At least they have Ragans and Witt to crow about now.

DirtySox Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I feel like a lot of folks don't understand there is a draft lottery now. You aren't guaranteed your spot anymore. https://www.tankathon.com/mlb Feel free to click sim lottery if you are bored. And if the Sox land in the top 6, due to market size, they can't pick in the top 10 in the next draft class. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
