I'd peg him at no more than 70 just from that picture. He will end up being like Castro. Except, instead of outliving like 10 Presidents, JR will outlive like 5 generations of Sox fans.

Harry Chappas Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Yet another example of what a terrible owner he is. He needed to bring LaRussa back but not Leyland. Leyland was a much better manager than LaRussa. f*** Jerry Reinsdorf. Another hall of famer let go yet Kenny Williams had to destroy the franchise to ge fired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox actually wanted Leyland, either after LaMont or Bevington. Leyland wouldn't take the job because of how LaMont was treated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 As someone said last week I believe, I think the Winter Meetings aren't as big these days as they used to be. They can meet face to face while sitting at home in their home offices if they want to over Skype or G-Chat or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, the Mets were pushing hard in free agency, creating a huge market for players, so teams jumped to get things done. That week last year you had DeGrom to the Rangers right before the meetings, Verlander, Judge, Bogaertz, and Turner all agreeing to contracts during the meetings, and the Braves trade for Murphy a couple of days afterwards.

Moves happen but I still don't think it's like how it was in the past. They even chopped a day off of the schedule (not sure if they did last year or not). Edit: scratch that, they were shorter last year too. Edited December 5, 2023 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2023/12/4/23988512/white-sox-not-very-close-on-making-deal “Right now, we’re not very close,” Getz said. Cease will likely go to a contender, a status the Sox are not be expected to assume in 2024. They could patch things with top free agents but won’t. With a lacking farm system and a major league team coming off two hugely disappointing seasons, they’re expected to trim payroll and lean to the long term. The Sox won’t call it a rebuild, but when you’re trading Cease, how else would it be characterized? “I would think ‘retool’ is a good way to phrase it,” Getz said. “I say that because we do have talent on this roster. Obviously it hasn’t worked, so you’ve got to be creative and find ways to improve it. We talk about the makeup and the chemistry of the team or certainly add depth or acquire players who are flat out better. We are on a pursuit to improve this team and there are different ways to go about it.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 At least they're not dumb enough to announce a Grifol extension so he's not a "lame duck" going into this what looks to be a truly horrific season...can't imagine the Cease rumors are helping ticket brokers trying to cajole former season ticket holders back into the fold during these prime Christmas sales weeks.

How can you not make Grillfoil look like a lame duck. He was born that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
