@JinguUniversity Jerry’s a cheap bastard when it comes to free agent signings, but we’ve never seen him just offload star players in mid playoff runs. All the talk has been that the white Sox are heavily interested in extending Mune. Barring a complete derailment of their season he’s staying put.
@whitesox It’ll be nice to see “Sox legend” Jose Canseco suit up in a Sox uniform for his 77th career time to participate in the alumni home run derby.
@bluskyflyguy@DanClarkSports I was referring to the league average. Not highest to smallest. Using your example the average payroll in 1998 was 48 million. Percentage wise that’s way closer to the O’s 71M payroll, than today’s average pay of 180M is to the dodgers 410M payroll.
@johnsaponaro@Mets2026@BMiggy A cap has been a long time coming and there is a reason literally every other organized sport has one. Glad the mlb is finally realizing that one organization having a third of the WS wins the last hundred years is bad for the sport.
@sportsrage I just want a more competitive league that isn’t a repeat of the same playoff series every year. A cap accomplishes this. Yes billionaire owners are cunts and only have their interest at heart. Also true, I wont lose sleep if Kyle Tucker makes 35 million instead of 55

@MarinerMenace Can’t wait for them to implement a cap. I’m as pro union and anti billionaire as the next guy but the sport and majority of fans will greatly benefit from a middle market team having the same spending power as New York or LA.
@Cubscentralpod Why should a fan base wave a white flag when they currently are on pace to make the wildcard?Sox have a solid young core with great chemistry. Is it a sure thing? No…but they have a legitimate shot at this point. It’s silly to just write them off cause they hit home runs.
@thekapman@FleecedByGetz@FanDuel@MelCor454 Such a bad take your own base is disowning you. By that standard, shota is garbage until he accomplishes what mark buerhle has. No hitter, perfect game, WS, all star game start, 16 seasons. Don’t even talk to me until shota can come close to that.
@Ak_IH13@StonecoldSxnick So you had a bad take and are justifying it by saying you don’t watch the player you made the take about? We can just assume everything you say is nonsense then.
@soxmachine_josh If trout had 2 years remaining I’d be all for it, but with 5 years left and so much young talent on the rise it’s too much of commitment for an aging star. We’ve seen too many late stage hall of famers put on a Sox uniform the last 20 years to know how that song goes.
@megasports23@ChiBearsMuse Same, Alshon was an absolute beast when he was with us. He gets my respect just for his performance even if he didn’t want to re sign.
