They did bring in Getz from the outside. The minor league pitching and hitting coordinator were from the outside. Marco Paddy was too.

I have an issue with Chris Getz's title. Giving him the GM title as the lead decision maker is a mistake imo. It doesn't let you poach from other orgs. If he were given the title of President of Baseball OPS, you could then hire a GM from somewhere and inflate the title to get another smart person in the org. Carter Hawkins isn't in charge of baseball ops but the Cubs were able to take him by elevating his title essentially. It's happened all over the sport.

The press conference is today at 3:30

Nah Danny is a good dude. We may or may not have been talking about this story though recently.

Sox likely to decline their end as well

Clevinger will absolutely decline his side of the option and become a free agent. He gets $4 million with the buyout anyway. There's no reason to lock in for $8 million. He can get more than $4 million on the market. Have to be on a roster by 9/1 for playoff eligibility

This isn’t correct. Clevinger gets $4 million regardless.

Of course he isn’t picking it up. It’s a $4 million difference only

If Getz gets this job as expected, I have no idea what his title will be but he'll be the head of baseball operations.

Nobody is hiring Jeremy Haber as head of baseball operations I think so

Sounds like the press conference will be on Thursday.

Actually, Birmingham is also like 9/17. Never mind

Charlotte season runs through September though

Apparently they’re doing some lower half mechanical stuff. Hopefully he figures it out.

Nope. Just the mentions of Click and Mattingly from Morosi.

The White Sox have told reporters that Tony La Russa isn't a consultant for the team. Harold is saying that Dayton Moore probably isn't coming and I've heard similar. Maybe they hire Chris Getz anyway. Or maybe Bob Nightengale has bad information somehow.

The White Sox have said that he's not a consultant. He is still under contract however.

I think La Russa is the one talking to Nightengale

It’s very obvious to me that La Russa is Nightengale’s source and has been for a long time

Harper and Machado were both firmly Reinsdorf’s fault. f*** that old asshole. Boras only deals with owners.

I don't recall ever saying this

They absolutely can. He's the GM. He can take a president of baseball ops job.

Nah they can interview. Scott Harris was the GM of the Giants and he took the Tigers president of baseball ops job in September 19th last year.

He was excellent in his final start with Miami. Looked like his old self

Sosa has 103 big league plate appearances.
