Where was Getz? He's actually there now in charge of everything, essentially? Nice first week on the job.

They might challenge that 1.3 million attendance low after all... And this is just going to energize those who want to move to another park or even another city. Probably run out highlights of Ligue incident as well.

So much for all the positive buzz around the Fitted in Black documentary. From Springsteen euphoria on the Northside to whatever this is on the Southside...

Grifol has barricaded himself in the manager's office?

At least they didn't blame shooting for concert cancellation. Went with the good old Chinese airport delays "technical issues" excuse.

Like Middleton? Almost 22000 tonight.... What was the concert? Fyre Fest 2?

Looking that way. Orioles were the last best hope and they wanted they preferred the limited commitment to Flaherty. Less prospect cost obviously. Will never know the Rays Reds etc. other offers unless Hahn or KW wants to write a tell all book trying to diminish the other guy.

Greg??? Well it's not like shootings are unheard of in Texsox land either. But if true incredible how many hits the brand has taken since All Star Break and deadline 2021...other than the FoD Anderson walk off into RF corn.

Just shut down Cease when he hits whatever his internal innings target is at...

Let's all get pitchforks and storm Brooks Boyer's house!

Clean slate lol. Dayton Moore will cleanse all the sins like a Biblical prophet...

Burger listed as one of the Top 12 3B in baseball for postseason awards consideration... Jake Burger, Marlins In a similar vein to Devers and Muncy, Burger’s bread and butter is mashing baseballs. His 11.1% barrels/PA rate leads all qualified third basemen, as does his .523 slugging percentage. His 27 homers are only two off the position lead, as his power has provided a welcome addition to the Marlins lineup. https://www.mlb.com/news/all-mlb-third-basemen-candidates-for-2023-season No Moncada...

Not exactly comforting to know we'd still be in trouble with Devers instead of Moncada... Defense the exact same issue in Boston as Chicago. https://sports.yahoo.com/red-sox-rafael-devers-problem-172922512.html

Poor Montgomery now has the weight of the world on his shoulders barring the most shocking Sox FA move since Albert Belle.

https://www.mlb.com/news/rick-hahn-ken-williams-final-moments-with-white-sox that will undoubtedly come off a bit like Hahn and KW defending themselves again...think I might feel better reading this around five years from now because the annoyance and aggravation is too fresh still. Notice it is more Hahn-centric, which makes sense since he has been the more visible and "present" leader the last decade in Chicago.

And that would require a coach actually taking a personal interest in Semien's potential and convincing him he wasn't the utility guy the Sox were projecting. Ron Washington

The dreaded list lol. Rauch Kip Wells Wright Baldwin Parque Garland Barcelo Ginter Stumm Myette Biddle Buehrle Fogg etc.

It's almost like do you want your kid's playing time to be determined by XYZ alumni deep pockets booster coach who invariably start their own kids or by objective professionals??? (We're certainly not the Spanish women's soccer team that has the depth to kick out 12/15 of their best young players for "dissenting against the patriarchy" and still have so many waves of young U17 talent emerging simultaneously that coaching/management is almost immaterial.)

Like it or not, Jose Ramirez belongs on that list as well...

Nearly everyone here saw it coming a mile away. Already was great/grave concern going into the off season with Martin's health and the projected Charlotte and Birmingham rosters and then of course you had Hendriks going down as well.

A good percentage of the fanbase is blaming Preller for signing Bogaerts when his wrist wasn't 100% right...and obviously Tatis played in 2021/23 and wasn't a part of the breakout postseason success in 2022.

We have heard previously about wave after wave after wave of pitching coming... 1998-2001 and then recently when we were ranked #1 as well in the 2017-18 cycle. Couldn't have been further from the truth, in reality. You can never ever have too much pitching. Just look at the Rays this season. Or the Dodgers. Or the Guardians.

Culminating in the Yerminator Unwritten Rules fiasco against the Minnesota Twins early that season... That said, some Guardians probably DO truly believe Emmanuel Clase's strange hair color choices have led to his absolute inconsistency with the Guardians in 2023.

In all fairness...something is missing in SD with all those contracts, star power, bling bling, despite the positive RS/RA ratio it just hasn't really come together all season long the 2nd season in 3.

Would 100% rather have AJ with no or limited experience than Getz based on 2015 with the Royals...then helping to run the Sox minor league organization right into ground at #30. Sure...we graduated a large number of those prospects or they simply busted. Remember how they bragged so much about having Anderson Fulmer Rodon Collins Burdi Vaughn Crochet Madrigal etc. all up in the big leagues at the same time and how that was such a marker for how successful they were as an organization???? Maybe Fulmer was gone already...but it was something like that. Then Jake Burger as well in 2022. LoL. 2016 Draft. https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-draft-success-demonstrates-how-good-of-a-general-manager-rick-hahn-is/
