I’m not sure it matters, I don’t expect whoever they hire to be around when they get good again.

The alarming thing to me was the way he made it seem like he had no idea about anything in regards to plans. And its possible he did know and just gave a weird answer, but I would probably error on the side of the Sox being shitty communicators.

I especially liked when they had Hagen Smith in the booth and asked him what the plans were for the off-season program and he was like "Actually no one talked to me about that" 😐

Pretty much this, I would expect them to be a lock for 110 losses minimum. It will depend on what they do with Crochet and Robert, but if they're both gone and this team signs no one of significance in FA then its going to be just as bad as 2024.

12-1 against the Sox, hope they sent a thank you card for the playoff appearance.

Well, his career .725 OPS is why I am saying a best case scenario is he can be somewhere between .750 - .800 next season for the first half and we can maybe get something usable for him. I don't expect it, and I understand hes not good. There is no reason not to roll the dice on that though because hes not blocking anyone and our payroll is insignificant for next season.

You're right, he does suck, but for a team in a ground zero rebuild I don't see how spending $6 million on Vaughn for next season has any negatives. Best case scenario he can be between .750 - .800 OPS around July and we can get something for him. Worst case scenario, he still sucks and you either DFA him or certainly non tender him in the offseason.

It makes sense to me, doesn't mean its the right move. They aren't going to be signing anyone of significance in free agency, and they have no one beating down the door at first base. So what if you pay Vaughn $6 million next season, maybe he becomes flippable at the deadline.

I wonder if that’s why they first were like it’s 100% going to be an outside the organization hire to ok well consider Sizemore now.

Actually, I think if you would have told me on July 15th the White Sox would play the rest of the season making no efforts to find useable assets and kept trotting out Nicky Lopez and Gavin Sheets all year then yeah, I would have said I totally believe they weren’t winning many games.

I still find it hard to believe to be honest with you

lol asking for patience. f*** you Chris. Were in the spot because JR couldn’t be patient and we couldn’t “waste a year”. The time to ease the fan base was before the season and when you were hired. Be upfront and ask for patience as we rebuild this team. Instead we got fed a bunch of garbage and it’s not until the team is historically bad these clowns are like “well golly guys it’s not gonna happen overnight can you be patient please” bro f*** off

Sizemore is the perfect man for the job. He’s already been here all year so we won’t waste a year with a new guy learning everyone. He’s cheap. He can keep the seat warm while this team is terrible then get Renteria’d when they are good again.

So basically our shitty players are still shitty elsewhere

Man, its such sweet justice that JR sat there and justified not doing a real GM search and hiring Getz because he already knew the organization and we couldn't waste a year with an outsider getting to know everything anddddddd they come out and have the worst season in baseball history.
