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

would it be more or less attractive to a potential buyer of the team if there's currently no President and no GM currently installed?

lol if it's Getz I have no desire to start watching this team again

Click was hired after the scandal

Hope you feel better, this is some good medicine!

What about James Click

and if that is the case, Grifol is here for 2024 and they're announcing that now, it's gonna be Getz

but we already knew that. he's just telling everyone water is wet. if it is Getz, it won't affect me at all because I already stopped watching the Sox 3 months ago lol as someone else already said, he likely won't be here next year. look how bad the minor league system is.

It could be a total lie, Grifol could be fired at the end of the season and they're just being nice. it's not like they would announce he's being fired while he's still managing for the rest of the season lmao that would be cold

what, Cease should be dealt immediately by someone competent to try and stock the farm immediately, and probably Robert as well this team is gonna be so bad for the next 3 years, might as well get the rebuild started

The poison pill.
