At least their is hope now. Something we haven't seen in over a decade.

Genuine question: White Sox only won 40 games 2 years ago and then a 100 loss season last year. They're competing in playoffs this year. What did they do/change and why does it feel so impossible for us?

Their return on Crochet ended up being a huge accelerant

A lockout will help will have tune to workshop the solutions without the annoying “have to play the hand delt till the solution works”

Yeah but we wouldn’t be good next year either way. I honestly think 2029+ will be when we are good. Takes time to undo what Arte did.

I read that the lockout most likely increases the teams value after the owners gain some player salary stuff they want and that was one of the reasons Arte sold. Idk how true that is

Actually the problem is the poverty owners like Artie

He’ll have a voice till February as that’s when the ownership transfer will take place

The new guy ain’t worried he’s now a top 14 owner not a bottom 6

I won't be surprised if Arte can't wait. He can layoff more employees and cut his payroll.
