Why would this hypothetical person take the job with Ken Williams overseeing him?

The owner forced a manager on the front office and that manager had a penchant for wanting as many single inning relievers as possible. Tony La Russa had the team that he wanted. They can fire Rick Hahn. That's fine. Without an entire house cleaning though, I doubt much changes. Ken Williams will be employed until he decides to leave.

Kenny Williams is Rick Hahn's boss. He's the executive vice president of the Chicago White Sox. Rick talks to the media and does the day to day GM stuff because Kenny didn't want to anymore. Nothing in this organization happens without Kenny Williams' approval in most cases though.

I’d be stunned if Ethan Katz isn’t the pitching coach in 2023. That wasn’t a La Russa hire.

Just the first round. First 6 picks, then it goes by record. For example, if Sox were 16th and received the 1st pick via luck, they’d pick 16 in subsequent rounds.

Schultz is pitching in instructs. Way too early for AFL for him. Usually guys AA or higher.

I love the magic city one. It fits great

I added 16-30 to the first post. Here as well: https://soxmachine.com/general/chicago-white-sox-mid-season-top-30-16-30/

Jacob Burke for me

He’s on it. Has to be

If there’s some sort of front office restructuring, I’d think Chris Getz is the favorite to be the GM if that position was hypothetically part of the change.

This is a pretty interesting forward thinking initiative from Chris Getz. Something that someone might do before being named GM honestly…..

He’s actually from Nicaragua

Maybe but his presence creates roster issues. It’s too easy to say Vaughn/Abreu split DH/1B because Grandal and Eloy still exist. It just doesn’t fit. Vaughn should never play the outfield again but he will a lot if Abreu returns

Savings? Jerry Reinsdorf likely isn’t spending any money without playoff revenue. If they bring back Abreu, I think this is essentially the team again.

I’d keep Eloy and Vaughn and let Abreu walk. That’s the solution

Yeah I’m not a fan of this list. Lenyn Sosa is pretty much being undersold by everyone.

I’ve been tough on Sheets because he shouldn’t be playing the outfield but he’s better out there than Vaughn is and he has a 129 wRC+ vs righties since returning. He’s much better than Pollock too. I don’t see any of these guys from the minors producing like that. Garcia is horrible but isn’t going anywhere unfortunately.

If you read James Fegan from today, it seems as if Joc Pederson and Andrew Chafin were targets. No idea why or how they couldn’t consummate those deals

He’s the biggest dope of all though. Ken Williams and Rick Hahn are much better at their jobs than Reinsdorf’s track record of Sox owner. The fish stinks at the head and there’s nothing we can do

Jerry Reinsdorf has no interest in hiring a new front office

You guys are really suggesting a complete house cleaning. I’m on board. I’d hire the Guardians people. It’s just not happening though and is a huge waste of our time. Jerry Reinsdorf has no interest in hiring a new front office.

It always humors me when this is suggested. They can launch Hahn. That would be fine. Then what though? Jeremy Haber as GM with Ken Williams’ tentacles remaining everywhere?
