It’s official - Getz named SVP & GM
is it? They are keeping grifol because it wasn't his fault. They are promoting getz because it wasn't his fault. They can't hire anyone from outside because they won't understand it's not our fault. It's all the same story.

JR Speaks (gasp!)...
Good call, that's definitely happening.

JR Speaks (gasp!)...
I think based on everything we heard, that they 100% think they have addition via subtraction opportunities, and that leadership is what will propel them. I mean, since this is all going so insane. Trade for Perez seems guaranteed. Sign Whit Merrifield for 2B? ? God does Whit Merrifield seem like a white sox player. No power, chase everything but decent enough contact to hit weak grounders. Good half a decade ago. Bad defensively. The perfect white sox 2b. Get rid of Moncada and maybe another org goes after Chapman or Candelario. They seem expensive. But Mike Moustakas? That's a white sox babay. Sadly, I actually think this is one of the deeper FA pitching classes and I coudl see some stability there. They can definitely cobble together a 74-76 win team. Which is the white sox comfort zone. That can keep you a mlb job for a decade. Go get em getzy

I feel like shoulder was what we heard. Not good.

The press conference thread
Having seen him at Sox fest I actually thought he’d appear better in front of cameras, but when you know you don’t deserve to be there it’s hard to appear authentic without being a psychopath.

The press conference thread
definitely feels like the reason they all think they failed is they weren't nice enough to each other in the board room.

oh ha didn't realize no one is untouchable is purely about labor, not management, who are all untouchable.

Sox place Clevinger on waivers
yeah, though he's largely been healthy, and tbh the placeholder amount you could put on any decently healthy starter in free agency has been $10 million like look at what this oft-injured pitcher pulled after becoming a decent #3 https://www.mlb.com/news/jameson-taillon-cubs-deal

What's Left For Sox Fans?

8/31 Games
I think this was the best prospect month we've had, Eder/Bush excluded. Speaking of Bush, was surprised to see Bryce Bush still on the ACL roster on the exclusive list.
