Meaning neither has the capabilities and skill set required to run everything alone. So you have another two or three headed Hydra forming...like Hahn KW Getz.

Or he simply wants to stick around the next five to ten years until the JR milk train is over and he's run off every single possible partner.

Phoebe Cates-ish scene of that next generation. Or maybe Daisy Duke ... ah youth.

Rowdy Tellez now on that FA market...$200 poorer thanks to the spendthrift Pirates. Let's sign him and Kyle Hendriks and just call it a productive offseason. Maybe change of scenery trade for CJ Abrams since we still lack a true SS in the system. So three Soxish moves.

Saw Rony and was wondering who Ronnie was or if they brought back Romy Gonzalez as a player/manager just to be totally different...

The only team where fans are so exasperated they're actively rooting for characters like JR TLR and Clevinger to die. And then the egos and smugness of both Williams and Hahn running smack dab right into the daily carnival that was Ozzie and AJ to a lesser extent...simply untenable. To simply be replaced by Sale and Eating and the LaRoches vs. a checked out Ventura. Also. Rick Hahn has seemingly erased his very presence by refusing to acknowledge his part in this whole disaster. He would probably just point the blame to KW and Getz under cutting or betraying him.

Sounds quite familiar....luckily Ventura was spared being mentioned. Graveman obviously had that time when he was the Mariners' closer and was dumped near the end of a season when he was polarizing the clubhouse, pretty sure to Houston. And Kelly/Lynn/Grandal were always polarizing figures. You have to believe and Hendriks injury, Anderson situation, and then Abreu throwing in the towel as a leader are what finally broke the team. Ironically not signing two of those three along with letting Giolito go were best best decisions made from a pure baseball stand point. Then you had Grandal and Moncada influencing Robert as well...obvious why the Rodgers finally grew tired of Yasmani's defense and so called leadership. Just every veteran was a disaster and young players not ready. Madrigal even tried to lead and resistance to him was what eventually led to him getting cast out...and just injuries/attitude/non performance. Meanwhile you're forcing Vaughn to the bug leagues too fast in the worst possible position just like they did with Fields and Viciedo In past seasons...trying to cover up depth problems by pitching it with un prepare youth. But all these moves over time left a team with no natural leaders and situations like Robert not even knowing who Montoyo actually was after a year on the coaching roster. Also can see the Grifol was pretty much doomed to fail from the get go. And let's not even get into the negstivity surrounding Clevinger lol that even drove SoxTalk posters into exile even.

That’s pretty typical of how things used to be…from being around a lot of Pirates intl operations staff back in the day. All we can do is speculate until they fill in the blanks. Not exactly like Getz hasn’t become wary of non Sox friendly national reporters.

The way DET is on a roll and at home I wouldn’t be betting Greg’s houses. Skubal start Sunday if necessary.

Like Chris Getz’s previous role stateside…all aspects of running academy and DSL (basically all Caribbean and Central/South America) teams but also winter league placements, talent development, coordinating coaches/roles, “implementing system-aligned frameworks”, everything except for scouting and talent procurement.

Manager, Player Development/Latin American Operations According to LinkedIn Manager,Player Development/Latin American Operations Dec 2022 - Present 1 year 10 months Director, Dominican Republic Academy Dec 2018 - Dec 2022 4 years 1 month Manager, Player Development/International Operations: Grant Flick Assistant, Player Development/Video: Jack Larimer Manager, Player Development Latin America Operations: Louis Silverio Manager, International Player Development/Education: Erin Santana Julio Bruno is Field Coordinator in the DR, topline listed name

Still have room for Outman Kelenic and more “lefty savages.”

Your formatting was unusually poor, lol. More was expected. Don’t be too hard on me, back in the hospital again for a herniated disc. Fun times.

Isn't Silverio in charge of the DR and the new academy ?

Fans in attendance Tuesday, including 374 dogs, were conflicted. Their understandably disgruntled nature showed through when they cheered for Eric Wagaman’s go-ahead double in the seventh and López’s solo home run in the eighth. There also was a crescendo of support after the White Sox completed the eighth-inning comeback. Sizemore and the players understand the fans’ reaction and their overall dismay with the 37-120 showing. “We’re not upset with that. We get where they are coming from,” Sizemore said. “They want to see wins and they want to see them now. We want to bring those wins. Tonight was a good night for us. I think it’s going to be that much better when we turn this around for everybody.” “People here tonight were maybe trying to see history,” Benintendi said. “But they’re going to have to wait one more day. Maybe. … Whatever happens, happens and I think everybody in here doesn’t want it to happen. But, it’s baseball.” Game story from mlb.com/Scott Merkin

Except for GM's...for the most part.

17,606 brave and bemused souls in attendance...

White Sox fans embrace infamy with jeers, chants and a marriage proposal https://sports.yahoo.com/white-sox-fans-embrace-infamy-with-jeers-chants-and-a-marriage-proposal-034959893.html "So the White Sox avoided their 121st loss for one night, but that likely won't change the vibe for their final two home games against the Angels. Barring a miracle, the record is coming, and Chicago fans will likely accept it if it pushes Reinsdorf any closer to selling this beleaguered franchise." "One bold fan went as far as proposing to his girlfriend, if the White Sox video board is to be believed. We do not know how Veronica responded, but we're rooting for her."

He's not all that poor. Getting a $6 million going away present to enjoy over the offseason...to go along with Moncada's $24 million for this year plus $5 million buy out. CONTRACT NOTES 2025 Club option includes a $3M buyout (50% retained by CHW) 2026 Club option includes a $3M buyout

Vaughn gets killed for his 1B fielding and Burger DH's more which dings him.

https://www.mlb.com/player/daniel-hudson-543339 Daniel Hudson still going strong for Dodgers...where have you gone Edwin Jackson? https://www.mlb.com/player/daniel-hudson-543339 Brent Honeywell resuscitating his career with the Rodgers now too

Cleveland probably had more victories against the Sox back then than this entire regular season.

One exception finally...

It's not random at all. It's just extending your list into last season when we seemingly had three GM's making decisions simultaneously. For me, that's the real dividing line when you look at talent like Quero entering and leaving the team. Does each individual transaction increase or decrease the talent level of the organization. We may or may not have proven anything with a handful of washed up vets in their 30s versus mostly younger pitchers in their prime like Cease departing and coming fairly close to Top 5 Cy Young again if he wins his final start this week. Even Fedde doesn't have a huge amount of mileage on his arm comparatively.
