There is no point in arguing about any of this because you are going to have to wait 2 years to see if Getz is a fraud or if he was being held back by the previous regime. Pace yourselves.

Decades? Calm down.

Maybe that's how Getz got Hahn out of his way and got the job with no search at all. Went to JR and told him I can do this for cheaper and here is how.

I remember people being really mad when he got moved and thinking Cleveland was going to turn him into a stud.

No. It really didn't.

I will always wonder (and we will know in a couple years) how "in charge" he was of the whole thing and what he was being told to emphasize. Time will tell.

Getz revamping everything makes me think he hated how things were ran when he didn't have complete control. I guess we will find out in the next couple years if his hands were tied by the previous regime or if he is just as bad or worse. For sure seems, at least from the hitting side, that he is getting guys who have a better understanding of the strike zone, and the two big pieces he just got supposedly hit the ball hard. I know that was a concern a lot of people had (him not worried about power).

Nah. Full steam ahead. Bryant mixed with Ichiro.

This city will love him. Like Kris Bryant but better and for longer.

That’s some revisionist history on Edwin. He was good in 2019 and seemed like the perfect DH for the 2020 team.

His arm will keep a lot of people honest.

If the Cubs do get Tucker, I hope it puts some heat on the Reds to get Robert. Got to keep up.

Well. Times are tough for all of us.

I don't think that's an actual real person, but I love the idea anyway. I'd give him 1/10 or 2/18

Poles has had 3 years to put together an offensive line, which is an eternity in the NFL, and he hasn't. So, not too heartbroken over this.

2026 will be your first taste of what can be possible with all of these changes (both players and coaching/development), and 2027 is when you'd hope you start to actually feel good about the team out there and what they are capable of.

He is doing what Hahn would do. Sign 5 bad players instead of 1 good player.

I feel better moving him after the trade yesterday. At this point I'm onto thinking about the next good Sox team and he isn't on it.

Reds should be going for it. Weak division and you just hired a great manager.

Yeah, they had it Trader Joe's on Monday.

Getz becoming a man right before our eyes.

But those are moves that won't make people say he "bought a World Series" which is what he seems afraid of in this piece.

Cannon will be starting game 2 of the 2028 World Series for the Chicago White Sox.

Hoping they sign Quintana on a 2 year deal. Possibly another OFer if Robert/Benintendi does go. Seem to be set for what you want to see in the infield. Do need a veteran catcher since I assume neither prospects start with the team. And then probably some random bullpen stuff to see what materializes out of them.
