Texsox Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I love the AI summary of what's wrong with Joey Gallo. It sums up the entire Sox system. Gallo's offensive production has been poor, even by his own low standards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be 65-97 if they maintained that pace for AN ENTIRE SEASON. Of course, the Tigers didn't actually field competitive line-ups those last couple of games (after they clinched post-season positioning on FRI). Expand They also closed with the second worst team.

If the team avoids losing 100, it will be considered a success. When will the Sox become a respectable team? When the club gets serious about acquiring real major league talent.

But my point is if you have veteran placeholders make 'em former Sox players/pitchers. Nobody cares about somebody else's oldies making outs for our team. Did anybody pick up that guy who played OF for us last year, I forget his name. He went to the Cardinals then went 3-for-3 in one of the playoff games I attended in KC last October. Expand With what we have read about the behind the scenes operations of this organization there’s a good chance none of the former players would want to come back. Even Abreu took shots on his way out. He probably wants to stay far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand "Beyond the Crochet blockbuster, the White Sox acted roughly as you’d expect a team in their position to act. They held on to their higher-profile trade candidate in Luis Robert Jr., hoping he can reestablish his value in 2025 and eventually net a Crochet-esque return in the not-so-distant future. They signed a handful of veterans on one-year deals, players who could be flipped in July to contenders seeking reinforcements. Their payroll has plummeted to one of the lowest marks in the league.

Maybe the Mariners will finally add some pitching. For now, Padres and Dodgers at least have a plan to make the post season before 2027/28. I will just read Fegan...that enough.
