I don’t know how good it was in reality. I was led to believe it Herm was good because Hawk and Co would always be hyping him up on TV

Wow. He ruled out his quick (Getz) turnaround already.

Glad the Sox Cuban pipeline dried up. They’ve been so lazy with that s%*#. Maybe now they’ll scout the DR and sign 19 cheap prospects like all the other teams

The White Sox have historically given a lot of veteran players that haven’t carried their weight, good money, and have written them into lineup cards way past their expiration dates. The White Sox have to be viewed as one of the best teams to work for in the league

If you’re a burned out veteran, this is the place to come.

Just wanted to say, what time to be alive. White Sox at full White Sox power, and we are here for it.

And even when it’s Fernando Tatis and Marcus Semien….they gotta go gotta go.

Occams razor. …and that goes for the rest of this skunk ass farm system that can’t infuse position talent without trading for it. Even then, It’s Yoan Moncada and Eloy Jiminez.

I am actively rooted against Jerry Reinsdorf being able to accomplish anything, with or without his own money. All that means is a shiny new ballpark with a turd sitting inside.

Getz out for 🩸 blood

It’s very concerning, stop that.

What, Jerry is out of touch, or a bold bullshitter on the level of a presidential candidate

I still remember a feisty Sox announcer popping off, defiant. Strange.

You could still keep the guy or gal working on the menu at the ballpark. Ashamed to say I have been there to indulge.

Oh yeah. Keep the prospects away. No idea why a decision-maker would willingly put a prospect anywhere near the big club. But Jerry, Getz and the MLB are unfortunately going nowhere. Especially Jerry. I can’t wait to buy out that coach-killing POS Moncada. He has symbolized everything I hate about the Sox, but there are a lot of symbols, that being said.

Fair point to make, and he will need to find good people in the organization to work with talent, but with this organization the overwhelming issue is base talent. Nobody in this organization has been placed in a situation to look good

Celebrate greatness

That was definitely the sales job we were given. I don’t fully understand why Jerry put that out there. It was completely unnecessary at a point where 99% of Sox fans knew in great detail why this team was never gonna have a quick turnaround. If Jerry didn’t know that Getz was this unprepared to execute Jerry’s delusional vision from day 1, he does now. And Jerry still won’t fire Getz, because Jerry is completely dysfunctional. What Jerry is is an owner who never demands accountability. Now every observer should be able to see that Jerry does NOT want to win. Jerry does NOT demand accountability to what Jerry says needs to be done. What Jerry wants is money.

I guess. But most baller GMs know exactly what they need to function the way they need in order to do a good job, and they just move everything they need into the building, and everyone else has to GTFO. There’s no universe in my mind that Getz shouldn’t know how the people around him would fit into his vision if he ever got the chance to run the team. And he knows people out there in the league too. If he’s that unsure of what he is doing, it’s not a positive for me.

No, It really was a great day. It was a great day for a couple of weeks. Everyone was sprawled out on the floor like clients in an opium den.

-His trades have looked short -He has a good eye for scrap heap pitching. other than that, I got nothing.

Absolutely. The reason you hire a Chris Getz is because he’s desperate for the position, and is completely malleable. Would Jerry ever in his life hire someone good that is used to being independent?

Oh yeah. Reinsdorf is a proven bad decision-maker. You go from proven bad, to… you’re telling me there’s a chance.

The problem for me, and I will stop saying this, are the implications. We wanted outside hires because the organization itself is so rotten. So, I lament that nothing has changed apparently. And Chris sadly acknowledges the state of the organization. I don’t mind hiring outsiders. You probably have to if you’re being thorough. Chances are the best talent is outside the organization just by the sheer odds. But Getz threw the organization and its people under the bus. Which it probably deserves to be. And this is his bus. That’s the problem. This is his bus. One day, this team will have arrived when it does not say we need outside people.

I would rather he do things holistically, and say he’s hiring the best people anywhere. If he cannot find good talent from within, then what are we doing here? It’s hopeless. Granted, maybe the best talent isn’t from within. But that means Getz doesn’t know how to hire at any level. He’s gonna bring in outsiders, great. Why does he need to? He just told you the people he assembled are garbage.
