The replies here are insane to me. Given all the evidence that has been presented to us over the last decade plus, and quite frankly what we’ve had to endure as fans, I have ZERO issues with a former player speaking out his experience, good or bad. And his comments track with multiple other comments that have been made by other players over the last few years. This organization has not shown any interest in keeping up with where the sport and their competition, and IMO Lynn and others have zero obligation to “cover” for this organization. He was asked a question and answered it. Good for him.

Crap, bring back Clev!

It's not that big of a deal honestly. A storm moved in quickly and dropped a deluge in a matter of seconds. It could have happened to anyone, just mindless clickbait and more doomposting for Sox fans. Who cares

Doesn't mean he's wrong.

Reconvert him to a free agent.

Jesus dude. Go find a Padres fan forum.

I find the White Sox record of 105-232 in their last 337 games much more disrespectful, but to each their own.

2nd best run differential in MLB. Extrapolate that and the metrics say we win 100+ games.

Eloy was a consensus top 10 prospect in all of baseball and many had him as a top 5 prospect. He had limitations being a bat only prospect, but the offensive potential was incredibly high. His trade value was enormous when we acquired him for Quintana. Whoever told you this “story” appears to be lacking general baseball acumen.

I'll do my guy a favor and save @WestEddy some time for writing his own reply, and do it for him, because I'm a mensch. "I'M NOT STICKING UP FOR THEM? WHERE DID I SAY I WAS STICKING UP FOR THEM? WAS IT WHEN RICK HAHN ACQUIRED AN OVER THE HILL KEVIN YOUKILIS? WAS IT WHEN ELOY JIMENEZ DIED IN LEFT FIELD? STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH, I'VE BEEN INCREDIBLY CLEAR ON THIS, EVEN THOUGH I DEFLECT CONSTANTLY AND HAVE NEVER ANSWERED A QUESTION WITH A DIRECT ANSWER IN MY LIFE. WHAT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT MY POSITION?"

Why don’t you tell us why there was no alternative? Or why you believe so strongly in everything he has done in house, that is not visible or even quantifiable? Or why we should accept him as “better than no alternative” and why it’s acceptable to be likely losing 100 for 3 straight seasons and very little signs of turning this thing upward? While I definitely agree that he didn’t have a good hand coming in here, I don’t see anything by way of upward movement, and it’s really hard for me to sit here and agree with the idea “well there was nothing better that could have been done” because you have accepted that Jerry did the cheapest bullshit fix he could think of

The 78 makes so much sense. This is a stupid idea.

Guess what day it is

Also: WHY WE WERE HITTING A GUY LEAD OFF AND GIVING HIM THE MOST ABS ONLY TO RELEASE HIM DAYS LATER!!!

Was at the Kannapolis game tonight. Montgomery looked solid, although none of his hits was particularly well struck and he was clearly out at first on one of them. Mongollon's homer was a monster, and he hit three balls really hard. Good player although obviously not a very high ceiling. But generates great bat speed for his size. Really small guy, probably 5'5. Bonemer was, to me, easily the best prospect on the team and in the park. He just looks the part, thick and athletic looking, very fast bat. It was easy for him, he was all over the MB reliever who was tough for everyone else to square up and made Montgomery look kinda silly. Good fielder, really good athlete. Very high on him after watching, I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it to Birmingham this year. Wolkow is struggling. Burrows is overmatched.

Even if you wanted to give Getz the benefit of the doubt at this point (and I do think there are some elements of truth to the idea it’s too early to fully judge him) I keep going back to a very simple premise… In what world should ANYONE trust the judgment and decision making of Jerry Reinsdorf? There is MORE than enough history to tell us a majority of his hiring decisions and motivations do not support any semblance of winning results on the field (or court) Because we’re been subjected to so much, Getz is simply guilty by association. Being hand selected by Jerry is a GIANT red flag that it’s the wrong guy. That’s how I know Getz isn’t the man for this job. Because Jerry picked him.

I’m sure he’s right, but the team could have benefitted from Lance being way behind everyone else in the buffet line.

Well kid you had a nice professional career, sorry for what this team is about to do to you.

A third of the Chicago market is larger than the entire Nasville metro area. The moment JR is no longer the controlling partner the entire fanbase will be instantly invigorated. There is no greater untapped market than right here. Ishba has to see the goldmine he'd be acquiring. As jaded as the Sox fan base is, if the Sox suddnely start operating like a modern large market team under new ownership, it won't take long for the fans to buy in. I honestly believe that.

Team rules. Just accept it.

So if the Sox pull Perez, they will have been the first team in MLB history to have their starters give up 0 runs in the first four games of a season. What a crazy sport this game is.

SUCK IT VAUGHN HATERS!

He's coming on as of late. I'm not done with him yet.

After putting the worst team in baseball history on the field in 2024, you would expect there to be some sort of improvement in year 2. There is none, and this team looks just as bad if not worse than 2024. I believe the only way that happens is if you don't know what you're doing. This should come as a shock to no one, as Chris Getz was not and is not qualified to be a GM of a MLB team.

This is an outrage! Oh man, am I underpaid for my work.

1.5 million and he gets to go sit and home and jerk off instead of doing any work. I can't stress enough what a moronic signing this way. You bring back a guy 99.995% of the fanbase can't stand, and on top of that everybody knew he sucked and was washed except our brilliant "ripping up the floorboards" GM only to cut him three weeks into the season. Might as well sign Bauer at this point and have a "violence against women" night at the park that will do it!

Haha suck it Boston announcers. Instant karma

Half of the next playoff team haven’t been born yet.

Chase has changed the entire complexion of the team.

I know it is hard to hear ex-players trashing the organisation, and it does make them sound petty in a way, especially if it was a stepping stone to a big payday elsewhere, but it is noticeable that there aren't many ex-players saying how brilliant the White Sox organisation is or was. Equally, when most/many on here, myself included, also criticise the lack of organisation at the White Sox it is churlish to then trash ex-players ourselves when they say out loud what many of us already think. No one likes to hear bad things about the team they are a fan of, especially when that team is at a historic low point, and especially when it is coming from ex-players who earned millions from but didn't necessarily perform for the White Sox ( I am talking Lynn here not Crochet). But until the whole organisation becomes less disfunctional and actually starts performing on the pitch we will probably hear more stories like this one.

If you only count non-divisional games, the Sox are a .500 team. And if you only count the first game of a home series, they're an unstoppable run scoring wagon with elite pitching to boot (28-2 over 3 games).

Cool, can they convince him to stop being awful and RUINING MY LIFE.

If Chris Getz spent less time here defending himself, and more time doing his job, the White Sox might not be in danger of back to back worst seasons in the history of baseball. Can't believe some of you are still watching this team. I don't know how you can do it. They are literally hopeless.

People forget Dombrowski was running Tigers player development for years before their organization imploded and then he received a promotion to GM that no other team would have ever considered giving him. Oh no... that was Getz? Never mind.

Why would MLB step in? Manfred works for the owners, and not for the good of the game.

The answer to who is going on the IL tonight? Yes

We’ve seen 3 prospects so far that he’s acquired in the majors, and it’s been unimaginably bad. He’s traded 3 of the most covered pitchers at the time they were dealt, and he only has 1 consensus top 100 prospect to show for it. Crochet/Cease/Fedde should have brought you back way more than what he got.

The White Sox cannot keep calling this a rebuild and expect patience. The organization is in free fall. Instead of the Sox becoming an elite AL team after winning the World Series, it has completely gone backwards. Real change needs to happen, but it doesn't happen. There is no reason to think the franchise has any real future. It is a shame things have sunk this low.

Can’t imagine doing victory laps about someone being bad when the current roster is hitting below .200 as a team.

And I’d still rather play him that Taylor, Slater, and Jankowski haha

2025 vs 1963

I don't think they're a first place team after all.

Harold, stick to calling Jared Kelenic a future HOF'er.

We needed to head any caulfielding of the thread off at the pass, get it up, get it going.

Yes, every team would be younger if you eliminate there older players from the calc.
