Long term he's the 3B, Jackson is the likely SS
Henderson as a SS on another team is valuable.

But if he goes to Detroit or LAA to be a 3B for instance? He's good...just not "worthy of a front end Starter like Tarik Skubal" kind of good.

You don't want to overplay your hand though with Skubal like the White Sox did with Cease. Skubal is way better, but you get married to getting too much for him and blow a solid deal.

that's what everyone gets for thinking teams tank in MLB.
white sox wouldn’t even call this a rebuilding year and Jerry cited a reason for hiring Getz (without conducting a proper search) was because he wouldn’t need a ramp up time. The White Sox are actually an embarrassment. Show me a more poorly run franchise in American sports

The A's.

The White Sox are ass too, but Robert, Jimenez and Moncada (though he sucks now) all getting hurt doesn't help.

What does exist in MLB more than anything are teams who are cheap as fukk and only wanna compete on a shoestring budget. I mean, if the Angels decided to sign 3 of the free agents who were just sitting out there to 1 year deals + player options, that 75 wins coulda turned into 87 and a good shot at a WC spot.

Eloy & Yoan are always hurt, I have no sympathy, or expectation the record would be much different if they were playing. This team is rotten

and yeah you could say the As, but there are no excuses for the Sox, there is no reason it should be this bad

For an owner who values the White Sox more than the Bulls, you'd think he'd put everything on the line to get them another WS. Stop at nothing, but like a third of the league at least, too many people who only view owning a team as a money tree and nothing more.

even teams like the Red Sox hear this shyt now about ownership. Never thought I'd see the day when Fenway wouldn't sell out.
