Am I reading correctly that we had the 4th worst record but got the 5th pick? Not great, but not a huge deal. The rule for next year's pick sucks ass though. 

This is the correct take. They are pretty much picking where they should be. Would have been nice to be top 3 or outside of 6, but luck is a fickle mistress. Such is life.

it sucks because the White Sox will suck as bad or worse in 2024, but cannot pick i believe above number 10 (like Washington) for 2025 based on the rules, as the Sox are not a revenue sharing ballclub.

If they were outside of 6, could they still get a top 10 pick next year?

Ive always wondered if the Sox crowd will cheer up on news of Reinsdorf croaking. 

I think the answer to that is an overwhelming yes….. but on the other note it just shows karma is a b**** for an owner who doesn’t want to spend money. No top 3 pick for you lol

What a bust. Might as well add to payroll to fill 1yr holes and try to build a 3rd place team.

Yeah at this point. Oops, already filled a couple holes with Paul DeJong, Mike Soroka, and possibly Erick Fedde.

Fill the rest of the team with high AAV 1-2 year deals.

I will be throwing a party, I was a fan before him and will be after him.!

I wish the fans would take it to a new level and make "sell the team" and "f*** you Jerry" regular chants

It’s going to be a very overall weird situation and I am fairly sure a large portion of Sox and Bulls fans will be called heartless callous etc, and I am fairly sure they will not care.  Right or wrong

I think the Sox fan base's cynicism has reached a new level that hasn't been seen before in the last 30 yrs, i wouldnt be surprised if more front office firings happen in 2024, it's gonna be a s%*# show and I think the ballpark will more than reflect it. it'll be even worse than 2023

can you dig it
