Great post, because he literally did. He chose Dominic Fletcher over Jake McCarthy, based on his Assistant GM Josh Barfield’s recommendation. He then chose Miguel Vargas over Luke Keaschall, based on the recommendation of Assistant Hitting Coach Mike Tosar whom he fired a week after the trade. One couldn’t fail harder than Getz did with his trades, even if you intentionally wanted to sabotage the team.

Well, he actually did, so your post can’t even be refuted. 🤣

No, I’m not. Getz is terrible at everything, minors and majors.

2005 was fluky lucky in which everything went right. The 2006 offense was crazy good and the team should have been better than the 2005 team, but the pitching, both the starters and bullpen, completely went into the shitter.

Obviously you are being sarcastic but Soroka is likely gone. Vargas is trash. Take a deeper look at Shuster’s metrics. He was lucky to have a 4.30 ERA considering he doesn’t strike many guys out and walks a bunch of guys when he isn’t giving up hits. Getz has to be one of the worst GM’s in baseball currently. The team would have been better if you negated all of his moves and just made no moves.

I don’t think there is such a guy available. I do remember everyone being excited about Hinch but stupid Jerry blew that up and hired his relic of a best friend instead.

Brother Rice @ St. Laurence

In hindsight, I presume you won the discussion. 🤣

My guess is that you could probably send an email to his loyal minions, Scott Reifert and Brooks Boyer. sreifert@chisox.com bboyer@chisox.com

Horrifying thought.

Your dad also got busted by the police getting a hummer from a transgender prostitute and plead no contest. 🤦‍♂️

We all agree, but Jerry will always ensure that the Cubs are more popular and that the Sox will always be second class. He needs to go…

Gotta have that epic rookie QB matchup. Best of the rookies.

I heard that guy missed his interview because he was too busy test driving some Jeeps, so he’s out of consideration now.

He sure makes it easy not to care. Between his terrible management of the team with his awful hires for GM and manager over the years, his refusal to do all it takes to compete, along with these embarrassing power plays for free funding for a new stadium that his piece of garbage team doesn’t deserve, he sure knows how to make fans apathetic and not care to even attend or watch his product.

“According to Forbes, the Chicago White Sox are valued at $2.05 billion as of March 2024. This makes them the 15th most valuable team in Major League Baseball.”

Probably. Their [Jerry’s] second mistake involving TLR. 🤣

@Balta1701 posted this in the other thread yesterday, and then this news comes out today… That just about sums it up IMO.

A great tweet from a supposed “insider”. Notice how he will be right, whichever way this goes? Perfect ambiguous “insider” tweet.

Yep. How often does Jerry pull this BS to get what he wants? The rumors of moving the team to St. Petersburg, which ultimately got him funding for his first new stadium. The meeting with the mayor of Nashville last offseason to pressure for funding toward his second new stadium. Releasing two statements about the state of the team right before the season ended to avoid facing the media in a press conference. Does anyone even know if Dave Stewart and his group of investors could afford to purchase a $2+ billion dollar team? Jerry is a manipulative mofo and everything he does is for a reason. I have no doubt he fed this BS “news” to The Athletic, just like he fed the previous rumors.

Have no local team to follow at all, rather than a garbage one that has been run into the ground by its owner.

This is just our cheapskate owner trying to get his new stadium funded by throwing out threats like a little child.

Nightengale said that Moore “could” join the Sox, not the definitive “was” joining. It’s possible Moore was close to making the move to the Sox but maybe he had a last minute change of heart? Perhaps Jerry wasn’t offering enough money, or that he realized he would be moving from the Rangers to the woeful Sox, or that the drugs he was on when he was considering working for Jerry Reinsdorf finally wore off. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2023/08/23/white-sox-changes-gm-chris-getz-dayton-moore/70656755007/ “Dayton Moore, the Texas Rangers’ senior advisor of baseball operations who spent 16 years as the Kansas City Royals GM, could also join Getz in a key front-office position. The two close friends worked together in Kansas City where they won back-to-back pennants and the 2015 World Series championship. It likely will be weeks before the White Sox make an official decision, but Getz and Moore are the overwhelming favorites to be running the White Sox baseball operations before the season’s conclusion.”

How could one dare question such an amazing owner in two sports?!?

Remember how Nightengale was saying that TLR would be the next manager of the Sox, and he was saying it so early that no one even believed it?
