We are not even 3 years removed from a failed rebuild, of which the current GM was a core front office member of and TLR and JR are still running ship, and people want to act like we can bank on a future of Schultz, Smith, Colson, Quero, Baldwin, Sosa, Ramos. Look, I've been way more active on the Future Sox board than a lot of you for years. It's why I got here. I prospect hug like no other, wrote for Future Sox (though nothing in comparison to @Y2Jimmy0 and co. right now). In 2018, GMs would have killed to get a package of Moncada, Kopech and Benintendi. Remember this? 10 guys in the top 70. They also had TA, Abreu and Rodon. Absolutely fucking suplexes the current situation if we're going off of projection alone. Except the guy in charge of building depth for that rebuild is now in charge of trades, which have so far been lacking.

I'm sure 29 of them would say "let's wait until they're actually in the AL."

Go look up where Cespedes, Colas and Adolfo were ranked, then do a search on how many times you've mentioned Fernando Tatis Jr.

For everyone saying the Sox are set with Schultz and Smith: Remember when we were set with Giolito, Kopech, Lopez, Cease, Dunning and Rodon? Pitching is the most volatile part of this game and after trading Cease and Fedde - the best starting pitchers on the market both times - Getz really doesn't have much in the way of positional prospects to show for it.

Hawk's one year as GM of the White Sox changed the careers of Tony La Russia, Dave Dombrowski and Bobby Bonilla. That is some crazy butterfly effect.

I'm sorry, who are these top positional prospects we're getting based on Getz's track record for trades?

This is what happens when you trade Nick Madrigal.

The thing is, the year before and the Ricky years, there was plenty of video of the team having fun together. And seemingly liking one another.

It would follow his minor league career path. I banged that drum for a long time until the 2024 White Sox destroyed all joy I had.

I turn away and suddenly the Sox have their greatest inning all season?

I've heard from very smart people that they'll look pretty good in training camp.

To be fair, while I think there is substance to our theory on this, Vargas is Cuban. Edit: As is Ramos. I just think Chris Getz probably subscribes to the Ian Kinsler theory of playing baseball the "right way."

You can tell that they wanted to scapegoat part of this season on him so, so badly. But Vargas is gonna be the future or some s%*#, idk.

Robert, Vaughn and Sosa are the only bats in the lineup rocking OPS above .552 (Ramos). They are also the only 3 hitting above .202 (Fletcher, everyone else is far below .200). Think about that: Robert, Vaughn and Sosa look like bonafide sluggers compared to Vargas, Ramos, DeLoach, Chuckie, Fletcher and Amaya and all six are in the lineup.

They need an announcer that just calls the game! And plays baseball the right way! And TLR definitely knows best! The Tories when this s%*# doesn't work:

Lmao, Korey Lee, Lenyn Sosa and Andrew Benintendi. Chris Getz's favorite players stave off infamy.

And Miguel Vargas' career in Serie A?

Getz teaches baseball the right way!

Lenyn and Korey carrying.

And we are leading off with Miguel Vargas.

Everyone was waiting for 121 Eve to hit send and boom.

Miguel Vargas is leading off the day after Chris Getz said Sizemore will be considered for manager. They are both morons.

What's a little light domestic abuse between teammates?

Chris Getz's favorite baseball publication lays out the argument that the White Sox and JR are now the poster child for the one thing that can ruin the sport: horrendous ownership.

Literally lays out how he was the inflection point, but you have to come in and provide a Bob Dole defense of him.
