Jerry needs every bit of embarrassment possible. Problem is he is shameless.

NO! I want that .03 percentage increase in #1 pick chances You and your son….kick rocks

On WSCR they were making fun of Pedro/Sox for apparently being literally the only team that wants him. Because they must be so much smarter. Last comment mine.

Way too much risk to keep him. If you’re Getz, you want to put your money on consistency. When a player shows you who he is, believe him. I’m afraid the Sox are in too much of a short term mindset right now.

Getz: We have enough talent. Just the wrong talent. We’re gonna just swap out our guys for the right guys that other teams will certainly give us. Should work.

No way in hell the way Moncada and Kpoech have turned out we didn't get slaughtered. You don't trade a guy like Sale without receiving major young talent that pans out. In fact by Jerry's own criteria: "You have to have four prospects who can’t possibly miss to get one," White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf told CSN. "I’ve seen so many players over the years who were going to be phenoms, they were going to be future Hall of Famers, and we don’t even remember what their names are anymore. That’s why when you’re trading a player of stature you’ve got to get multiple can’t-miss prospects back. That’s why it makes it tough to trade a player of great stature."

They can’t go on short staffing the player acquisitions/development areas. If we don’t hear anything about change right there, then why would we ever invest our time and money with this franchise ever again.

Those Red Sox. Boyyy they done got us good

All bets are off. It’s difficult to root for any specific outcome or direction, because everything seems to have a bad outcome attached.

If it means he gets hot down the stretch enough for another team to be interesting in rolling the dice on a trade for him, that would be fortunate.

That, and getting paid before you accomplish anything. There are tons of specimen types without that elite drive that will probably stop playing and preparing hungry.

the Marlins should jump at the chance to trade Burger for Moncada. By the logic that was argued this season on Soxtalk.

The Red Sox knew something about this guy. The White Sox always think they can outsmart some of these organizations in trades. A lot more investment in baseball intelligence is needed on the south side.

All they have to do is bring guys up and hold onto them (when they do well) instead of dicking them around for busted ass veterans. c'est la vie Sox life. We were lampooned when we advocated for this Burger kid to take over.

His wife indicated frustration. I’m sure playing free of the roadblocks, and playing free from this mindfucking organization helps him to play more loose.

Amen

A good organization will get him, yes.

Hmm. Out of towners sounds damn good. Someone with high standards, hunger, and fresh eyes. This whole episode is about the problem with the White Sox incestuous ways. If a Jeff Bezos of somebody came in here, hallelujah. If Reinsdorf moves the team, well maybe a whole group of innocent fans gets to spend a lot more hours doing something good for their health instead.

Jerry defiantly doubled down on the successful White Sox way..

Liar! You would have fired yourself from informing decision-making. You are an old man that does not learn. George McCaskey learned. You sir, have not.

"I wanted baseball taught in the minor leagues a certain way where people understood what they were doing," Reinsdorf said. "They understood what's the right thing to do in a certain situation. And nobody ever did it right - until Chris [Getz] came along. And this I observed, you know, a couple of years ago. I was thrilled." Jerry a fan of CGs minors work. JR must not be a huge bottom line type guy. His own opinion carries the day. Who was it was saying Reinsdorf doesn’t actually know a lot about baseball? Chris Getz was not a hot commodity around MLB .

So, my brother said that this was the worst General manager hiring event in Chicago Sports history. Hard pressed to think of worse. Remember, this is not based on job performance post hire. Just the persons, and the circumstabces around a hiring/event. Worst in Chicago Sports history

Jerry makes it too hard. It's too much to deal with.

Cinch it up and hunker down
