A battle of two cheap bad teams. Who will win the Venable derby?

This is true, but the Sox are a career ender for managers. Especially in their current state.

Yes, he did. Venable is the Rangers “associate manager”. He’s probably just waiting for Bochy to retire so he can get the full manager gig with them. He turned down interviewing for the Mets’ manager job last year.

Yes, Getz is very much equal opportunity with terrible players of any ethnicity.

I’m not saying you aren’t correct but imagine trying to get the cheap Marlins to up their offer for a no name managerial candidate by using the also cheap Sox to up the ante? It’s pretty sad and hilarious to think about.

That’s hilarious. Looks like Getz even snuck in some of his own questions for that free advice… Identify one player the White Sox should look to acquire via trade or free agency this offseason. What would it take to acquire this player? Why do you recommend the White Sox target this player? Who is one prospect outside MLB.com’s Top 100 that you believe is underrated? Provide a brief scouting report. In terms of analytics and technology, where can MLB organizations look to gain a competitive edge in the coming years?

Taunting the fans and not even paying attention to the snap of the ball until five seconds later. What a loser. Serves him right. He had nothing to taunt about anyways considering the game he had.

Don’t worry, the Sox new managerial hire will lift our spirits! 🤣

Yep, you obviously know what’s coming but it’s the last play of the game. You can at least give your defense a breather before it.

Some people actually expected the Sox to spend some money this offseason considering they would be dumping Eloy and Moncada and their payroll will be so low. I can’t wait to see the damage Getz does in the dumpsters this offseason. Should be exciting!

He was trash the entire game.

Losers.

Winning ugly.

Awful

Oh dear lord…

It would not be a good look with fans probably betting on who would “exit” the Sox first — Jerry or TLR.

Can they demote Getz to manager?

Is this the stupid manager that told the Mariners player that he was going to throw at him in the very next game, and then did?

Stevenson just got burned.

Vaughn is terrible. He’s a .725 OPS first baseman with a weak glove. Rizzo is .103 points higher in OPS in his career than Vaughn. It’s not even close. The “best hitter on the this team” doesn’t mean much considering they are all bad. Replace him with a turnstile for all I care. Vaughn isn’t worth $3 million, much less $6 million.

This is true. No one is going to turn down stupid Jerry’s free money. Pay to make me leave. Just ask Kenny and Grifol.

Just as good as whatever else we have… ”In addition to Will Venable, Phil Nevin and George Lombard (and others), the White Sox may interview Red Sox legend Jason Varitek for manager.”

Awesome, can’t wait to read it… I would love to see the mods pin this thread but I will leave that decision to those in charge. Anxiously awaiting my copy…

If this is a direct quote from the book, thank you for sharing @caulfield12. Great stuff!!! @VAfan FTW!!!
