Other than a guaranteed paycheck, I don’t see one reason even the most inept baseball people would think Pedro can manage a championship team. If the goal is to be .500 and try to sneak into the playoffs because of a bad division, sort of like the Bulls these days, then OK. He can probably manage an average team if things go his way, but he really is almost Terry Bevington level. I fully expect he’ll be gone at some point in 2024.

What is your fascination with sham interviews? And why are you singling out JR? Every MLB GM is a white male with 2exceptions? And where did one get her first opportunity in baseball? JR has had minority managers , a black executive for almost 25 years, as well as other minority and women employees holding key positions. Getz doesn’t deserve the job, I will give you that, but are you going to be happy when the Mets line up a black man to interview after the season and then name Stearns their president?

According to Bob, the Big Hurt wanted the GM job. Now he’s angling for Farm Director. Also, KW wants to join the Angels.

Pedro showed some fake discipline. Benched the rookie because he did run out a pop up. The kid obviously thought he fouled it off.

Pedro.the brown nose.

Sox AAA affiliate is 35 games under. The AA affiliate is 30 games under. How does the farm director get promoted?

Maybe they can have a bulletproof vest night. That should attract a few thousand.

And still had White Sox ties.

I hope someone has the guts to ask he why he will be different from the previous guys, and ask how involved LaRussa is.

Basically with the buyout, Clevinger is owed the equivalent of a player making around $31 million.

I will give them this. It very well could be the same. Maybe even a 99% chance. But at least there is a slight chance it will be different from the previous clown show.

I don't feel bad for him. I'm pretty sure if there were 29 other GM openings this winter, he would land none of them

Pedro got hired because he said what KW and RH wanted to hear. Getz gets hired and JR mentions Getz says what he wants to hear. The problem is, this organization is messed up from top to bottom. Fixing it requires things they don't want to hear.

The logic of this hire is mindboggling to me. If Getz being the GM was the fastest way to perennial success like JR says in the press release, why wasn't he moved into this role a lot sooner? Failed lackies from a failed regime will keep failing. Enjoy your laughingstock status JR.

From the press release. In that role, he was involved in player evaluation, acquisition, staffing decisions, the amateur draft and the sports science department. He has overseen the club’s minor league operations and player development system since 2017. How do you get promoted?

Pedro gets a reprieve, but I will be anything, next year when they suck, Pedro is going to be the sacrificial lamb. It's all going to be his fault.

Besides getting JR's lunch order correct for over a week, what has Getz ever done to warrant this promotion?

Its the same title Hahn had. KW was Executive VP. Horseshit hire. Why can't the White Sox show the fans they care?

TA got going a bit right before the trade deadline, but he's really sucked since.

It's going to cost a team at least $5.2 million for a month of Clevinger. I doubt he gets claimed.

As punishment, the White Sox will probably make her re-new her season tickets.

They can stay if they want. They also can go, get paid by the White Sox, and try to find a new team or take a vacation. These are either release or outright waivers.

I also think it's telling his staff is so bad, almost everyone that gets called up, with a couple of exceptions, look like they just took up playing baseball games a week ago. Clueless.

Read MLBTR, the 4 million is guaranteed if either side backs out. But these waivers are different from the old August trade waivers. If no one claims him, he can still walk and get paid by the White Sox.

Pollock said no and got his buyout. I’m sure this is the same.
