LOL, this team is ridiculous. Yes, this may be the right strategy FINALLY, but there is no hard and fast rule that a good manager has to have worked/played for the Sox, or now has to have worked/played for a team other than the Sox. JR and Getz are an absolute joke. They may as well use a Ouija Board to select the next manager.

I thought one of the big plusses to hiring Getz as the new GM was because he could assess the problems with the team quickly? Now he is saying it takes a thorough process and may take up to 5 years of work?

So the Sox fired the guy who recommended trading for Vargas, rather than taking the good Twins 2B/CF prospect? Astonishingly stupid. But I guess this is the same org that let Hahn and Kenny run last year’s trade deadline, only to fire them both less than a month later.

The right thing to do — “We will perform a long process of interviews with all of the best available candidates at the end of the season.” Oh wait, no. We already know who our guy is. This organization is such a freaking joke.

It is a bit strange. A team typically has a plan to fire their manager and also makes the decision on who will be the interim manager before they announce it. This should have been thought up and decided weeks in advance.

The Score is already ripping the Sox on how they didn’t even announce an interim manager in the “Grifol dismissed” press release.

Getz next? ??

A huge improvement. Bring him on! ?

Let’s all listen to Getz describe his ideal manager, just like Hahn once did, and then watch Reinsdorf overthrow his decision and pick his own guy. That was fun.

2025 rolls around and what? More of the same… ?

Let’s be honest. This doesn’t move the needle much either way. The team still sucks, as do Reinsdorf and Getz. Do you think the team is now suddenly going to be good because Grifol is gone?

Yes, it matters due to “HISTORYYYYYY!!!”

Exactly. Just take a look at the recent front office departures and basically any manager since Ozzie. The Sox were their last stop in the MLB.

It’s the White Sox. They made this move already knowing who they will hire as the next manager. The Sox don’t do the whole “interview process.”

Yup. Got his payout for next season guaranteed as well.

My guess is Montoyo will be interim.

Yes, please.

I’m shocked they actually did it. If they waited this long, why not wait until the end of the season? Nothing this team does makes any sense.

Great trade, Getz. I’d rather have the Twins prospect.

I’m not.

Vargas 0-4, 2 strikeouts Lovely

It’s a nice craft beer that you can absolutely pound.

Neither was the previous mayor who made things worse, but it’s Proft’s job to come up with a solution?

I guess Riordan’s boss thought it was wrong because he got a week suspension from it.

I don’t even listen to Proft. I have listened to The Score and Riordan is a douche.
