Quin Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 If you miss out on the playoffs, it's all the same. The Sox played just as meaningful ball as the Twins all year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will if they do. No. Why? Lol. I wouldn't want you to leave, either. This team being God awful will do enough for that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I’m too lazy to back read but…it’s pretty awesome that AJ Hinch has successfully managed the Tigers into the playoffs less than 5 years removed from 114 losses. Meanwhile the Sox will soon be on their 6th manager in the same timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloydBannister1983 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 1 hour ago, JUSTgottaBELIEVE said: #10 and ~#40 in 2025 and #1 and ~#40 in 2026. Keep building.. Fangraphs already has the Sox as the #2 farm in MLB right now and there are additional reinforcements coming via the draft and trades the next few years. We’ll see where they’re at in 3 years. Tigers won 95 games 3 years after their 119 loss season. Anything is possible! The Tigers had a serious owner, serious front office, serious manager, and Justin Verlander. The White Sox would have sawed off Verlander’s arm and beat him with it if he were in their organization. Not a close comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll preface this with the disclaimer that I believe Pedro is a completely incompetent MLB manager. But…in his defense, with all of these media hit pieces coming out on the state of the team, could they have possibly chosen a worse personality fit to manage this team? Nearly every description has Pedro as a hardcore MLB lifer that doesn’t care to deal with clubhouse politics and media drama. Meanwhile this team is wracked by exactly that. They legit chose one of the worst possible persons. I almost legit feel bad for the guy. It’s like hiring a divorce lawyer and on day 1 of the trial, they show up and realize it’s a murder 1 case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
