did you guys seriously spend 3 days thinking it would be anything other than JR being JR Sox are done as a franchise until Reinsdorf literally croaks

100% Something wrong with that dude, either mechanics (which his OG highschool coach couldn't even fix), or his stuff has permanently deteriorated

doing the same thing as before will get you the same result Getz/Moore are yes men for JR. That's why they're the front runners

it's gonna be Moore and Getz, if you're holding out for actual change , prepare to be disappointed Reinsdorf has shown all of us what his priorities are, and installing puppets into the FO comes first, don't expect that to change now

it's Getz and Moore There's a reason it was announced the day of the firing that Grifol was safe for 2024: it's because they'd already spoken with the new GM and made it official in advance The only reason KW and Hahn were fired was to virtue signal to the fan base that they're doing something different, when in reality they aren't changing anything at all, not a damn thing that would be considered a structural or philosophical change Hopefully Sox fans aren't so naive to buy into this nonsense, I'm not

?

Or just turn off JavaScript until you're done reading the article.

AJ and Ken R. are convinced it's Getz and Moore If that's true, buh bye

Great fucking information here, fast forward to about 5 min

you think Hahn or KW is leaking bullshit to Bob?

I had an irrational love for wanting to watch him play defense and run the bases

sure but that's why you let Kaplan talk for you, optics is everything for these high profile industry positions there are certain things you can't say/do, that's all how many people at that level have you seen rip JR publicly? there's a reason

fwiw

Yeah but Rick probably wants to work again and pissing off one of the 500 most powerful people in America probably isn't the wisest move

Why did Bob report that they were installing someone by the end of the year (this was yesterday) And the very next day suggests that theyve already decided who they're picking like wtf?

With a competent GM, with the money the Sox have spent over the last 7 years, they would be close to what the Braves are imo, but a structure needs to be built from the ground and that was never done, not in my lifetime Hahn was so unqualified for this and so was Kenny.

I believe the rationale behind it would be that the entire stadium would be chanting to sell the team and would likely make national news.

there have been quite a few Sox spectacles over the last 3-4 weeks that have grabbed front page headlines yes you're right, JR has been an embarrassment but his poor decision making often gets lost in the minutiae, the average person doesn't see that. they do see headlines showing TA getting knocked out, or articles about a former Sox players kids getting kicked out of daycare, etc.

well a lot has happened in the last 24 days that would be considered publicly embarrassing to JR or the shareholders

My bad, I was skipping around. I'll listen to it again and edit the post. Someone they were talking to said this. edit: It wasn't Jimmy, it was the main host. Sorry @Y2Jimmy0 timestamp 5:15

Sox podcast (Sox in the Basement) had James Fox on and the host suggested that the minority share holders all rallied together to fire KW and Hahn. JR didn't wanna do it Timestamp 5:15

don't renew your season tickets don't go to games don't buy Sox merch cancel MLB streaming subscriptions

that's a good point
