I mean, you really cant goof that up can you ?
So is there a generational talent available, or should we trade the nbr 1 pick for several still in the first round??
Sure they can. Instead of taking the consensus #1 (Roch Cholowsky — UCLA, SS), they could take an under slot guy. While there are benefits to that, I believe Roch is the only guy with an overall grade of 65.
I’m not sure if he is a generational talent. But can Sox trade the pick? I thought only competitive balance and maybe compensatory picks can be traded. But to answer your question, even if they can they shouldn’t. MLB draft is too much of a crap shoot. Take the guy with a 65 grade
Ucla baseball caps are so odd in that they have a letter B on them. it took me a few seconds . not sure if any other schools do that .
He might be that. Now let's hope they can build a ballpark on the South Side for him to play in one day. The potential new Sox owner is in a bit of difficulty right now and that doesn't help the future of the franchise.
difficulty ? how so?
The two potential Sox owner-brothers have an ownership interest in the Phoenix Suns and are now being sued for what is alleged as financial misconduct with the franchise. This creates issues both with the law and the NBA.
Hopefully they can get this sorted out. If not, that just further muddles up the looming ownership issue with the White Sox.
Yeah, but first overall #1 pick in franchise history didn’t work out so well.
From what I read that is the other brother. We have one brother and that is the other brother. His defense for that is that the value of the franchise has increased, the fan experience has become better, and he pumping money into winning. He says his minority owners don't want to spend money and are sueing him because of that.
Let's hope for two things. First, that justice is served. And second, that somehow this works out OK for the White Sox. Lord knows Sox fans have put up with too much nonsense for the past 50 years.
Yeah, I'm hoping the brother is tellimg the truth and we have the anti-Reinsdorf coming in and the guys sueing him are Reinsdorf-like and just want more money.
I think this could be exactly what the Sox need. Someone who will spend money and care about winning.
Minority owners claim Ishbia mismanaging Suns
A pair of Phoenix Suns minority owners allege that Mat Ishbia is using the franchise as "his personal piggy bank" in a lawsuit claiming misconduct and mismanagement by the Suns' governor.
Suns' Ishbia countersues over buyout demands

Last couple minutes of the Bears game. Pretty wild.
From a series of tweets by ESPN’s Jeff Passan:Japanese star Munetaka Murakami agrees to 2-year, $34M deal with White Sox
The latest Japanese star to enter MLB has found his team.
How good is this guy?
Sox making some noise recently!
BREAKING: Third baseman Munetaka Murakami and the Chicago White Sox are in agreement on a two-year, $34 million contract, sources tell ESPN. Murakami, 25, is the single-season home run champion in Japan and will bring his prodigious power to a rebuilding White Sox team.
Concerns over Munetaka Murakami’s swing-and-miss tendencies and questions of his defensive position gave teams pause in their pursuit of him. Rather than sign a lower-dollar, longer-term deal, Murakami went short and will be a free agent at 27 with two years to allay the fears.
In the meantime, the White Sox make their biggest free agent move in years. Murakami, Colson Montgomery, Kyle Teel, Edgar Quero, Miguel Vargas — Chicago has a lot of young, interesting talent. And the upside for Murakami is enormous. A savvy move to get two prime years.
