White Sox Mgr Speculation Thread
After the last hiring NOTHING would surprise me with this hire. Nobody is off the table. Ventura was a terrible move and at the time Guillen was a head scratcher. History is not kind to Jerry Reinsdorf hirings especially in the last 15 years. I include the Bulls.

Who is buying/renewing tix for 2023?
My tickets in the upperdeck decreased by 21% I wasn't going to renew but I may now.

Your 2023 Off-Season Plan
Let Abreu walk, sign Nimmo, bring up Colas, plug in someone at 2B from the system. I don't know what the finances will look like but that is what I come up with. I love to sign Rodon as well but that isn't happening. In reality I think hey bring up Colas, resign Abreu and waste $7M on the 2023 version of Vince Velasquez.

Guaranteed Rate concession employees picket stadium
I said this in a different thread and maybe I am over thinking this but doesn't the ISFA mange the concessions? I thought they handle the stadium and all that stuff. I also thought Reinsdorf owned all of the parking land and that would then be a different agreement.

Fire Rick Hahn
Wouldn't the Stadium deal be discussed between the ISFA and not the White Sox. I am not naïve to think that JR doesn't have his hands in it but the ISFA would be the people arranging that deal. I could be wrong and maybe the White Sox do make money off of that aspect. It certainly is a sweetheart deal for ole Jerry.

White Sox Mgr Speculation Thread
He got to hire Shelly Duncan and Dave Duncan would have been the pitching coach if he wanted. He also hired Cairo and McEwing was a guy of his from way back. I still think the next manager is a place holder for Jirschele and Washington makes sense based on how fundamentally bad they are.....he could potentially make the most sense.

Need 1 or 2 to happen. In 3 Hahn replaces Williams and Getz replaces Hahn.

2022-23 NFL Season thread
My issue and I can't seem to get a read from the talking heads is are they trying to win games or trying to gradually increase the pressure on Fields.

He admitted in the press conference that he has no control. The team is run by KW and JR makes the big decisions.

Pair him with Guillen as the bench coach....sounds stupid but it may just work.

LaRussa retiring on Monday
This organization is what Kenny Williams is and what Kenny Williams is all about. Player Development is nonsense in his mind and as such the budget is given to MLB talent.

10/5- Twins at Sox, 3:10
So the worst player in baseball has been stashed on the bench when he should have been on the DL. My Lord, this franchise. SMH

10/5- Twins at Sox, 3:10
Ovation? There will probably be bout 5,000 people there. It continues to be rather telling that Garcia isn't even playing in these worthless games.

It is amazing how Garcia's playing time cratered after Tony fell ill.

Jerry likes him so he probably will

You would think especially with Francona stating he was thinking of retiring.

Bill wasnt going to spend what was needed. No Hossa no cups.

LaRussa retiring on Monday
Yes he has owned the team for 41 years and is 87 years old, nothing is changing...similar to his partner in crime Dollar Bill Wirtz

He should be in line to replace Dusty I would think.

They will bring in Willie Harris and he probably checks enough of the boxes to be hired.

LaRussa retiring on Monday
The fact that Hahn isn't allowed to hire a manager is all you need to know. He makes no significant decisions for this organization and no GM is taking his role. He remains essentially the Asst GM. He is the HR rep that does the phone screening interviews and reviews resumes so that the real decision makers are given a final pool of candidates. Not sure there has been a bigger patsy since Lee Harvey Oswald. Kenny Williams is still running this organization, Hahn is just he mouthpiece that gets a nice title.
