It’s official - Getz named SVP & GM
winning fast, I don't know what it means. It doesn't mean spend more money to Reinsdorf, he made that clear. I suspect in the short term we are going to see a lot of top prospects traded for mid tier MLB talent like they used to do (much to our detriment). In the long term, I hope they will build up the farm system into a top system perenially. But we all know that's not going to occur.

The press conference thread
the Sox want to 'Win quickly' What does this mean?

The press conference thread
Reinsdorf had an obligation to help fans get through this by hiring a relatable person that gives them hope. What a failure of an owner to read the room. If Getz addresses the lack of support staff raw employment numbers in the organization, as well as the quality, there might be some small hope. But good Lord.

Sooo, parallel universe: Who would you hire?
They should put Svengoolie in the dugout. It's gonna be scary

After an exhaustive search, Getz named GM/VP
As LoHo says, ‘Jerry Reinsdorf doesn’t know anything about baseball’

Set it in stone. GM Getz. Hey new Operations guy…you’ll get Getz and Pedro, and like it.

He was clearly on a glide path to the job eventually before the humiliation this season. Because Jerry likes him. We aren’t talking about an owner that hires on merit/ability/accomplishment first. He hires chiefly because he has existing personal relationships. I suspect that relationship still being intact may win the day.

Sox conducting internal interviews to see if dramatic changes are needed
The White Sox conducted internal interviews to determine if they should have season ending meetings in Maui. The White Sox conducted internal interviews to determine if Top Gun was a good movie The White Sox conducted internal interviews to determine if Margot Robbie is hot

That team won because of the DC’s defense, and Jim Fink’s drafting. Ditka was a good coach, but the White Sox are definitely not getting the top candidates out there who are hot names. Not with this situation (if true)

There is nobody worth hiring that would take a job where Jerry Reinsdorf is dictating manager hires. Especially after TLR fiasco. If there is any teuth to Pedro being safe, there is ZERO chance to make a good hire.

Jerry Reinsdorf looking internally for candidates from his own loser organization. My God who does that.

safe to say that her husband wanted a deserved opportunity that wasn’t forthcoming

There was no reason to leak that he was safe either. Unless he was completely safe for real. They could have let speculation run rampant if change was coming. No harm in that.

Who can possibly be making decisions on next year’s manager already? Gaaaaaa!

Unfucking believable. Why did Reinsdorf fire anyone if he was gonna stay with his dumbass formula?

Herb Lawrence: ‘The Sox had to become the laughingstock of baseball to get some needed change.’ Pollyannas gotta learn, sometimes losing is good.

Gotta believe watching what George McCaskey has done has been an inspiration. Then again…..nah

Can the White Sox go to Arlington Heights?- Dodgers have completely overhauled Lynn pitch mix
I think he’s had poor performances against a lot of different quality offenses in Chicago, which didn’t go so well, but that requires breakdown analysis of which would be way more painstaking than I am able to tolerate. If one is to say he’s not better, and better utilized in LA, or is the same, that’s certainly interesting as well. But that isn’t my take. Something is different over there. If it’s just him, that would be disappointing.- "Sell the Team Jerry" Game August 24th
More impactful for ticket buyers to do it from the parking lot instead of the seats. - "Sell the Team Jerry" Game August 24th
