Chicago White Sox

Yeah, my kid just follows players now and cheer for their teams. The Bulls don’t mean much to him. But Jerry is also gutting that franchise as well.

Yeah it sucks. I don’t know how you even attempt to pitch this team to young fans. Kids like stars (my 10 year old is all into the NBA for this reason) and we won’t have any once Crochet & Robert are gone. And some overpriced novelty milkshakes won’t make up for that. It’s just wild how Jerry Reinsdorf can be a billionaire and have such poor business acumen. The relevance of this franchise is rapidly fading into oblivion due to one old man’s stubborn ways.

Yup, I’ve given up any hope of my kids ever becoming Sox fans given the dire outlook ahead, so might as well be historically bad and embarrass the s%*# out of Jerry.

I feel like Grifol gets fired after this game.

You’re not a big Yolbert Sanchez guy?

I think they already have a space booked…doubt they can cancel at this point. That being said, perhaps they avoid doing any Q&A which would be a first.

I can’t wait for the Q&A at Sox Fest for Getz to have to actually explain what his fucking plan is.

Probably part of the reason he still gets playing time, but Sheets is no longer hitting RHP…he’s not even a platoon bat at this point. Him and Vaughn at -0.8 and -0.6 fWAR and still out there most days should be a fireable offense for Getz. How is there not some AAAA bat you could roll the dice instead? f***, I’d rather see Mark Payton’s 32 year old ass out there. I just don’t even get the strategy of wasting endless playing time on two dudes who have proven they aren’t major leaguers.

Vaughn and Sheets should both be gone. At this point they are zero dimensional players as they have proven they can’t hit major league pitching. The easiest path to improving the lineup is having actual hitters at 1B / DH.

I don’t think it’s Jerry as we have traded in the division before and we just traded DeJong to the Royals. This reeks of Getz thinking he can win a “weak” AL Central in 2025 with a couple moves and some added youth.

I don’t see why his market would be that much better in the offseason though. I think you got to hold until the next deadline.

So is this core lineup next year? 1B: Vaughn 2B: Sosa SS: Baldwin* 3B: Vargas LF: Benintendi* CF: Robert RF: Fletcher* DH: Sheets* CA: Quero#

Bob confirmed we were never going to trade Fedde within the division unless completely overwhelmed. Getz is simply not a competent decision maker and we are not a serious franchise.

Per Bob:

I think if Jerry has any integrity, he has to fire Getz at the end of the season and hire a GM from outside the organization. He can’t wait another year or the damage may prove crippling for the franchise.

Nastrini just missed BA’s Top 100 to start the season and his been horrible since. Eder wasn’t very good last year.

So when is he rumored to be getting fired?

It’s just amazingly stupid.

100% Sizemore. Might as well and throw a total wild card in there and see what happens.

Getz took a 100 loss team and somehow made it the worst in modern baseball history. Any semi-conscious owner would fire this clown at the end of the season, but alas this is just year one of a 10 journey with Getzy assuming Jerry lives that long.

He seems like kind of a dick

It was pathetic under Getz as director and still is as GM. Unfortunately, survival of the fittest is not a sound development strategy.

???

I pray to the gods you are Jerry’s accountant or something…
