Three position players above A ball, and not a difference maker among them. Ooof.

Chris Getz, begging the baseball universe for someone to take his overpay off his hands…

Let’s see, Rodon didn’t get his s%*# together until what, 2021? Meanwhile, Sale would have bounced the f*** out of Dodge after 2019 had he not been traded. Who knows If he has the same post TJ resurgence had he not been traded to ATL. Does Crochet even get the chance to start with those two around? Not that it really matters, as the Sox couldn’t put a competent team around a prime Sale and Quintana. Kiss the 2021 AL Central title goodbye as well. It would be Sale, Rodon, and a completely mid team chasing 3rd or 4th place. There really isn’t a ‘what could have been’ scenario here for those 3 …

Being traded to the white sox is known to rapidly deplete one’s serotonin.

Unlike your complete refusal to lay any blame at the disfunctional org? Yes, its all the players' fault. Forcing TLR on a young up & coming team had nothing to do with it...

Drafting good people is great and all, but we need actual baseball tools that translate.

More crime per capita around Wrigley than in Bridgeport.

Refusing to acknowledge the ways the game has changed does not make it reality.

You see, a lack of reporting means it never happened... and therefore I get to exist in my olden days bubble that doesn't allow any new information to enter...

No doubt he has taken the prospected hugging to the extreme, and has failed to this point in finding the right balance between youth and veterans to reach sustained success. He did a lot right to get to that point though, which is more than we can say about Getz.

Yeah, it wouldn't take $20M to accomplish, but my starting point would be paying whatever it took to make the Sox FO/operations the best around. I probably then bank the remaining cash until adding pricy FA make more sense. I just feel 2026 would be too soon with where the farm system currently is.

Mike Elias on a bad day runs circles around Getz & Co.

A simple question mark in the title would go a long way.

Who Dat?

If we are talking about a mere year into the future, I am pouring millions into turning White Sox operations into the developement envy of the league. Poach the best minds in scouting, developement, data, etc. Whatever it takes. I leave FA alone for the most part until there is a homegrown foundation in place.

Firing Getz doesn't solve anything, but that doesn't make him any less deserving. Ultimately you are correct though, one incompetent boob replacing another doesn't change the calculus until there is change at the very top.

There's an easy and obvious solution, but these dumbasses would rather one of their two most promising prospects sit every night. s%*# like this is why I just can't take Getz & Co. seriously.

Another org might take the chance he rebounds into a semi-productive player, but there’s no way JR let’s Getz make that gamble. He’s gone at the deadline for whatever, or he’s gone at the end of the season.

Classic outlandish rebuttal not based in fact whatsoever.

You had me at Chris Getz is a moron. The later is much less egregious with the draft being such a crapshoot.

Please don't make me hate Geno...

Because they care more about winning meaningless games than developing players?

I mean, f*** the Cubs, but the White Sox are in no position to worry about something this frivolous. If the Cubs have the best offer, you take it and run before they wise up. Taking a lesser return just to not help the Cubs is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Appreciate the perspective and really hope you’re right.

Have you actually watched Sosa play 3rd? Cuz I don’t think you’d say this if you have.
