To me I think it's obvious that Getz is as much the decision maker of this organization as LaRussa is. That's the only reason I can see for some of these idiotic decisions.

Never would have seen that K coming.

If we are talking about what the process of the trade was, most of this is not relevant. The point was to get someone who could actually help the franchise when it was good again, not to waste three more years with a DH. Eder was a top left handed starting pitching prospect before his Tommy John. Obviously if he had recovered quickly and not suffered a subsequent injury on his road back to the mound, he wouldn't have been available for a mediocre bat only DH. That's the thought process behind the trade. Take a chance on getting him healthy and back on the mound on a regular basis again to see if he rounds back into the form that made him a borderline top 100 guy. With his second injury he never went through the ramp up process of getting his strength and conditioning back post TJS, which was obvious with his still recovering velocity during the fall league. If you want to be hung up on his ERA in 8 innings of 2024, but not Burger's 88 OPS for 64 PAs, as some kind of disqualifying rational for why you don't make the trade last year, feel free to engage in your circular logic all you like. The bottom line is the kid has thrown 56 innings since the end of 2021. I suspect he is a guy who will get better as the season wears on as he gets back into condition to start.
Sounds like the guy that currently is the only reason to watch the White Sox.

If they are willing to give him everything he wants in a stadium/village project, that is like $2 billion to start with.
This is what I am missing. Are they going to build a village for him or are they going to build a stadium for for him to use rent free and then who makes the money on the village?
I still don't understand how many years ago Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones played at the new place but they don't hold anything there anymore.
Why is NU doing what they are doing in Evanston. GRATE would be ideal for that.

I think Pedro is an awful manager but theres nobody past or present thats going to manage this team from losing 115.
They don't even try that's the issue. They have zero respect for him.

Weren't Bulls on at the same time? I recall drinking in a yard and this occurring never imagining where it would go.

Hopefully the kid shows he learned something from whatever lesson he was being taught.
My hope was he was Pedro's whipping boy as there was nobody else he could try and hammer. Pedro is a moron and not properly handling young players seems par for his assine course.

What a surprise! Moncada, Eloy and Robert all out injured at the same time. Before the 11th game of the season. Rinse and repeat.
Someone really needs to make a documentary out of this failed rebuild. It would be fascinating for all baseball fans if done well... and probably provide closure for us Sox fans.
All injured while simply running nothing baseball related to any of them.

If they ever really considered it, if he wants to do it, now is the time. If somehow he turns it around a bit, great. If the continue to suck this bad, he will never want to manage again.
The time for the move was the all-star break in 2022.

I always hated when people pulled this performative BS at work. You're not being less productive, or focused to walk outside and look up in the air for 10 seconds.
Funny thing is that whatever he is doing it's not working. He sounds like a complete handjob every time he opens his mouth. He needs the Jim Boylen time clock.

Robert is damaged goods at this point. Their core turned into pixie dust. At least they were hitting today. Getz and Pedro are clueless.
He has been damaged goods since Day 1. He's barely able to stay on the field as much as Eloy.
They really should have looked to move him this past off season. Especially when he hired a new agent.

SMH Vaughn has no clue

I guess Getz throwing s%*# at the wall bullpen is cheaper.

Andrew Vaughn is absolutely atrocious.
And they put him in LF and RF because they needed his bat. They are inept like none other.

This will be a quick 123 inning with awful approaches.

I wonder if Grifol knows he sucks against RHP
Said he would play full time and pillar and Sheets will platoon. They have no analytical ability.

Handing Hahn the job
Shields trade
Missing on Harper.
Not trading for Lynn in 2020
Astros playoff handing Sox their ass
Josh Naylor game
In essence it's the fact Hahn was as bad an executive to ever walk the earth.

Grossman mau be better then Eloy at this point.

Leone is 32 and I've never heard of him. Explains why , God he is awful.

Vaughn should be sent down if possible. He's awful.

The new schedule makes it tougher to find common dates. In prior years, last night would have probably been cancelled if the team was coming back to town.

They traded away the only guy on the team that busted his ass every game....it was like one last middle finger to the fans from Kenny.
In a vacuum the deal makes sense. The pitcher has more upside. In totality of KW/Hahn it's among the many stupid things they did.

Fire Pedro Grifol

There si a whole stew of s%*# that is this organization and he is a main ingredient. He does NOTHING well. Every player and coach in that locker room has to look at him and laugh to themself. He is a bozo.
