fathom Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Just now, Chicago White Sox said: There is normal bad sucking and then there is evil sucking. Destroying a potential Crochet return by forcing your trading partner to take on Benintendi’s contract is pure evil sucking. How come I have a feeling they couldn’t trade Brebbia because teams wanted the Sox to cover some of his salary, and they wouldn’t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to verify but wouldn't shock anyone here I'm sure Thank God a trade didn't occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not gonna dfa him so it's the only way to get him off the roster. I expect them to find a way to do it this off season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the case, but they’re paying his salary regardless so not trading him doesn’t save them anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect them to find a way to do it this off season. And we continue to be the dumbest franchise in baseball. All of these other teams in the luxury tax with god awful deals way worse than this one out here living with it, and the Sox with $50 million committed for 2025 and beyond can't handle it. I'd call them a Mickey Mouse organization, but Disney knows how to run a business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, on a day with 1000 trades and no top 100 picks, I think bigger scare is the market may be cold beyond the next offseason. The only way out is the hard way, and we have idiots in charge. There is no Haber to save us anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) My guess is that the lowered attendance is impacting Reinsdorf’s bottom line of revenue, but that they still aren’t losing money. Jerry is going to have Getz cut the payroll to $100 million next offseason to account for these losses in revenue, but they will still be in the green overall.

Baron Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Anyone else relieved we traded Cease when we did and for the package he got? I don't think we'd be receiving the same package at the deadline if we held onto him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
