Chicago White Sox

Pedro is such a fucking tool. If they keep this guy another season, then we deserve to lose 100 games next year as well. He is simply not a leader of men and the players do not take him seriously in the clubhouse.

Whether or not it’s Getz (plus Moore), there is no way Jerry doesn’t have a guy in mind. I think we’ll have before mid September. Whatever “process” there is will be highly compromised by preliminary discussions Jerry has had with someone regarding the role.

He’ll land somewhere else in some capacity I’m sure, but I can’t imagine him ever being a GM ever again.

Yup, Hahn’s media campaign is out in full force. Dude accomplished nothing in 11 years, but somehow he was the victim of a messy leadership trio for his entire tenure. Not sure why people are buying it.

Pretty wild

Absolutely pathetic if this happens. We are failing because we are so insular and we’re now going to hand the keys of the ship to an internal guy? Our player development has been bad under Getz and that won’t change with him elevated? About the only outcome I could come up with that doesn’t actually move the needle forward.

Ken Rosenthal also questions whether Jerry would hire an up-&-coming guy to be the head of baseball ops. Thinks a guy with experience is more likely and specifically threw out Moore, Jon Daniels, Michael Hill, and Zack Scott (since his DUI charge got turned into a “driving while ability impaired” lol). While all those names suck, he Al’s acknowledged would be a highly interesting job and called the franchise a potential “sleeping giant”. If Jerry can wake the f*** up (or sell the team), that’s so very true. Just need a legit good hire here, whether a veteran or a current GM type.

Just for discussion purposes, here is a random list of “the top 10 GMs” from 2010. Just trying to see if there is a veteran GM candidate that Jerry’s inner circle could be pushing him toward. I’m going to cross out anyone that is currently the head of baseball ops regardless of title. John Mozeliak Brian Sabean Billy Beane Brian Cashman Dave Dobrowksi Ben Cherington Mike Rizzo Dan Duquette Neal Huntington Dayton Moore Bruce has already mentioned Moore as an option (let’s hope not). Chuck threw out Dan Duquette as a theoretical option. But when I look at this list and think of a guy Jerry would immediately hire it’s Brian Sabean. Guy is only 67 years old and apparently is as “invigorated” as he has been in years. Currently a special adviser for the Yankees, so very much available. Honestly, I’d be pretty shocked if he’s not the guy Jerry has in mind assuming there is such a guy.

That’s exactly what I’d be assuming. But if we’re talking about a President or SVP of Baseball Ops type role, then there is no internal option. Perhaps Getz is an option for a 2nd in command “GM” role, but no way he can be the head decision maker of the organization unless we plan to go completely backwards.

Good call on this…Boston’s days as the clubhouse snitch will certainly come the off-season.

I also wonder what this means for Kenny Williams Jr. Will years of nepotism finally run its course in this org?

I’m hoping the fact that Haber put together an encyclopedia on Grifol and they still hired him is proof clear he’s not capable of leading a Major League Baseball org.

Click would be interesting. The Moore idea is terrifying to me and I pray it not a real option. I really don’t see Getz being bumped up to replace KW. Had Rick been the sole sacrificial lamb then I could have seen Getz as GM under Kenny, but he can’t be the head baseball decision maker for this org.

Can we all agree that Dayton Moore as President of Baseball Ops, Chris Getz as GM, and Buddy Bell as manager is the ultimate nightmare scenario?

Ozzie did saythat he feels like Jerry knows who the guy will be to replace to KW based on that end of season comment. I kind of agree with that. I think Jerry has someone in mind and has likely begun discussions with them.

It’s like he needed to get an article in 10 minutes and picked the first names that came to his mind.

I’m still listening…

Bruce with quite the candidate list…lol: https://www.audacy.com/670thescore/sports/chicago-white-sox/candidates-to-be-white-soxs-next-lead-baseball-executive

Go on…

Ozzie making a mockery of Haber is absolutely hilarious

They should hire him as President of Baseball Ops…been saying this for a while now, but can’t imagine you can just pluck a front office member mid-season without their permission. Hopefully I’m wrong there because Chernoff would be a fantastic hire.

Mid season though? I would assume it would require the Indian’s consent until the season is over.

Oh f*** yes! Been hyping George and his wife as our potential savior for some time.

I tried telling you all that porn was the issue! Moore will make quick haste of that sinfulness and get these guys laser focused again!

Chernoff would be a great hire, but no way they can land him before the end of the season. Has to be a true free agent candidate.
