MLB 2026: Welcome To The Neo Empire

I keep clicking on this thread thinking I'll see a statement from Phaeton or something.

I am very pleased with the White Sox split with the Yankees. For us to take 2 games off of that pitching staff feels like the team might actually be a real threat to make the playoffs. They have been so fun to watch this year, but there are some massive holes that have to be addressed.

• Noah Schultz needs more time in the minor leagues and might not be a major league starter.
• Seranthony Dominguez is straight trash.
• Our catcher's have been an utter mess the whole season.
• Tristan Peters and Andrew Benintendi are wonderful leaders for the team, but I don't think the talent is there for a team that wants to win 85+ games.
• Colson Montgomery needs to work on his batting Avg and OBP. He has solidified his place in the middle of the lineup, but his boom or bust approach is hurting the team.

I don't mind them being quiet at the trade deadline. This team isn't going to win anything in the playoffs and we have a solid future. No need to mortgage it for a half of a season, when we know Reinsdorf isn't paying to lock anyone down.

Last thought... Will Venable should win Manager of the year. He has been amazing turning this AAA team into a playoff contender.
