Chicago White Sox Posted July 7, 2024 Share Posted July 7, 2024 Is there a bad contract we could swap him for? I’d prefer cheering on a different, equally bad player if at all possible because even the best case with Andrew is probably just bad vs. epically bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted July 8, 2024 Share Posted July 8, 2024 I still can't believe Beni is really this bad. He can't be this bad. Even if he can be a 1-1.5 WAR player, the contract is fine. I'd honestly rather just keep him thru 2025 than eat the $ for him to play elsewhere and bounceback to a decent player. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the sox aren't equipped with the personnel or technology to help guys get out of severe slumps (or to prevent them from getting into them) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox are likes magnet for players who are always injured, can't sustain their best years into just good+ years or guys who fall off quickly and never find it again. The whole history of the franchise is like that. They need rabbits foots, horseshoes, 4 leaf clovers, crystals ,burning incense to rid themselves of the bad juju that's plagued this team. At this point I'd be bringing in anyone who claims they have a blessing and set them free to do their thing in the ballpark, ST complex ,the Front Office ,where ever that black cloud is hiding?
