Roki pitch should be we will work with you.. The White Sox could put him on a innings limit to build him up his pitching innings from Japan to the MLB. There would be no pressure while his fellow White Sox players are all going to be all around the same age.

Rate field lol the down aarow is perfect for the White Sox.

But why the hell do we need another catcher though?

Go white Sox !!!!!!

As Twins fan, I hear Err to spend more on the team.

Great show Todd. Makes me optimistic that the Sox will be even more entertaining in 2025

Todd, the 2025 team will lose 100+ AGAIN!

what will the average attendance be, about 8000 ??

Travis Jankowski btw

Probably not. 2024 was a year that everything went wrong, a historically bad season does not exist without bad luck. Wsox are due for some positive regression, because of this I expect the same/similar record as the 2011/2012 Astros.

What we have here is a very weak team that has just weakened its pitching staff by trading their ace pitcher for 2 potential starters (Teel & Meidroth; C & 2B), a potential stud in Montgomery and a potential quality pitcher in Gonzales (both of which are a few years away). Let's be real on Robert: He will be injured for about 60-80 games this coming year because he sees that this club is another 100 game loser. This forces Getz to move him ASAP in order to get maximum return. As soon as he is injured this coming year his value drops drastically. And we know it is going to happen. Plus, I got the feeling last year that he was finished with trying to do his best for this flawed club. And what are we going to do with Vargas? If he does what he did last year we have to DFA him and hope someone else will pick him up (where he will probably suddenly explode into a valuble player rather than dead weight). I predict 110 losses this year.

Trevor baur?????

Hey, Todd. Your favorite Marlins fan here. We few are asking ourselves the same tagline of your video today. I refuse to be down this time of year. In fact, I've already made my Spring Training plans for the last week of February in Jupiter, Florida. It's the eternal hope residual from my Expos days! Cheers.

The permanent infrastructure of the organization had to improve before we figure out which free agents should be signed

Reinsdork is DUMEST. Cheapest owner in MLB. His 3 billion dollars will be buried in his grave

I'm no fan of Jerry, but it seems he's allowing Getz to steer the team towards a Milwaukee, Tampa model. This could lead to some success in the short term until Jerry meets his Maker.

Instead of suggesting that injuries got in their way I think it's possibly the White Sox organization who completely has failed his players when so many players do poorly and don't develop look at Louie Roberts at this point. So many of them have just failed They may have some potential and I don't know why we call the socks rebuild a failure they were good for a few years COVID hits Anderson can't hit anymore and field he is destroyed by COVID it appears that may have also happened to other players

Red Sox were fleeced. They need to get a GM that is not quite so intellectual and a bit more smart.

Bryce Harper was a catcher before his pro career began. Decent outfielder and perfectly good first baseman. So lots of precedent for the White Sox to mix and match these new talents.

TBH, the WS did well to get these four prospects. I might have offered four other highly rated prospects that haven't excelled quite yet, like OF Miguel Bleis, INF/OF Nazzan Zanetello, INF Mikey Romero and SP Luis Perales. Perales is the top ranked pitching prospect, but he will be out in 2025 with TJ surgery. The others were first and 2nd Round picks that have gotten off to slow starts.

Slow as rebuild. It Will take 5 to 7 years to make the playoffs. They need to add top Free agents too

At this point it's nearly impossible to be optimistic about this. Teel and Montgomery have promise but with how we handle young talent we'll see these guys in their prime playing for other teams. Hopefully we bring up Colson and Noah next season, possibly Hagen for some exposure

New sub! Awesome content. Go Sox

Im sorry, but its hard to get excited. If these prospects mature into good players, Jerry will trade them away too, because they will demand more money!

What I'm glad to see is that the cubs didn't get him.

Being a redsox fan I watch tons of minor league & major league games. Take my word for it Todd. You guys got quite the haul from Boston on this trade. You gotta love Montgomery. Power hitting switch hitter and above average outfielder. He will soon be in your outfield and Teel is a good catcher with multiple tools. Meidroth could soon be in your infield. Gonzalez needs more minor league seasoning. This injection of prospect talent is just what the doctor ordered for you guys. Go White Sox !!!! Joe

Hate to lose Crochet as we now have no great pitcher to lead us. Crochet should bring many wins for Boston. Meanwhile...... Once more we get a player with a broken leg (Montgomery) but this one has the possibility of being an excellant RF'er until he can go FA and find a team that is trying to win the whole shebang. Teel will be an excellant defensive catcher and we will see if he can hit MLB pitching. Meidroth is a no HR infielder who may cover 2B until we can get a better hitting (power wise). He may be a #2 hitter. Can he steal bases? No. He is slower than average. Gonzales may end up as a part of our relief staff as an innings eater. Or he might end up a another 4A player. I do believe we are weaker at SP now. But we have some great LHP's on the way as well as Taylor and some other interesting posssibilities. I know many liked Thorpe but I believe the second time a team sees him they may have their way with him as he really has a very limited fastball to offset his changeup which is his best pitch. So I see us with Vaughn at 1B, Meidroth at 2B, Montgomery at SS, Ramos at 3B, and Teel/Quero at C. Vargas is a 4A player we will have trouble moving elsewhere. OF is a work in progress until Montgomery arrives for RF. We need a CF'er as you can't trust Robert as he is always hurt. Fletcher can't hit. Benny in LF is average at best. Going to be an interesting team.

Enjoyed the interview and insights. Thanks. Have a pleasant weekend and Expos Toujours!

Good luck and Go Sox Go😂

He's better off in NPB then playing for White Sox😂😂😂

I really am impressed by this trade. First it actually does fit the plan they are talking about. Especially with walker coming in as bench coach. That culture and identity is just being recognized and being put in motion. Good questions to take to SOXFEST for those that are going. Just remember VenABLE knows Red Sox's Bleslow both working with Theo.

sox are a joke- no doubt will not sign any good free agents and when these guy get good the sox will go cheap-dont you own your fan base something when you almost had the worst record in the history of baseball

You got a better chance of a winning the lotto. Sasaki aint coming to a 130 loss team

I heard Tad Iguchi is his manager in Japan.

need a few 🥃🥃 before i can listen to this comedy. Why do Sox fans think that Chris Sale left ? Because Jerry does NOTHING. When Sox made some good trades and looked like they could be contenders, Rick signed Grandal and Lance Lynn and Liam. And THAT was the only time Jerry did anything. And we know what happened that time.

Stawwwp lolll

Trade Luis Robert next. I got a feeling he's going to get injured early next year. Cash him in now while we can still get something for him. Lets not repeat the Jimenez-Moncada fiascos.

Don't forget about Shingo! We loved him in Chicago!

Is not some of the blame for the lack of developed talent due to Getz not doing the job well enough when he was in charge of the Minor League developement for about 7 years? We draft well but there was no system to develope them until now or so it seems..........

Thanks for Sox news

You are doing a great job. I have told others here in Las Vegas to watch you. You are a good thermometer to sense how White Sox fans feel about their team. Still......trade Robert soon.........before he injures himself again.....and again....and again.......

This organization is cancer 🙄🙄🙄

Win win trade

I would be excited, but the track record of developing position players is not good.

Hello Locked on whitesox. Redsox fan here. Been a redsox fan for over 60 years I am pretty much in the know on the Redsox minor league system. You should be pretty happy with the package you got back for Crochet. Montgomery is a power hitting switch hitter with a powerful throwing arm. Probably was the best outfielder in college baseball. Teel is a very good catcher and hitter. You are really going to enjoy those two . Meidroth is a very good infielder. I have seen him play. I have also heard good things about Winkelman Gonzalez. I think you will be pretty happy . I think your team needed a lot of help and you really got a terrific package. Once Teel and Montgomery reach your major league team I think they will be mainstays for years. Good luck in 2025 . Great video review my friend !!! Joe

I don't think my Redsox gave up on any of them, they wanted quality, so you need to deal quality. Good luck. Also the trade for Sale, they gave up quality then, too, but sometimes unforeseen events happens.

Thanks for the update Todd!
