Legit impressed with his plate discipline. Refreshing to see in a big league debut.

Non-tendering him at his arb number this year was a no brainer. They would have to eat cash to get anything in return.

WTP...

give it time

Vargas did a thing?

Give the kid a hit!

There's the White Sox we all know and love...

Vaughn goes before Vargas IMO.

Remember when the White Sox crushed lefties?

Sosa has more use than Vaugh, though they both looked clueless there...

Why wait for a non tender when a DFA is quicker...

This is less Jerry playing politics as it is Jerry engaging in a rather corrupt quid pro quo with an idealogical regime that wields regulatory and investigative bodies for their own ends. It's pretty disgusting, but also totally unsurprising.

Carriers do want local sports. They just want the best deal for their side, and they have the leverage. CHSN is a drop in the bucket for Comcast, so they can hold out until the RSN captitulates.

This what is known as grasping at straws.

The level of disconnect is astounding. The point IS to draft better, scout better internationally, and acquire better talent in trades and waiver claims, etc. And develop better. But its not like the guy in charge now, who shall never have any blame placed at his feet, has or has had any responsibility for any these areas in which the White Sox organization has failed miserably. Nope, none whatsoever. Not in the past, present, or future. All is sunshine and roses in Getz land... Holy f*** this level of mental gymnastics has to be exhausting...

But Jerry didnt want to waste a year... Yet he'll gladly waste a decade on a lazy internal hire...

Taking victory laps over missing the point, or ignoring the point, or simply refusing to acknowledge the validity of said point. Canario is just a guy. Talented, but flawed. But he’s exactly the type of guy Getz should be acquiring and giving a long look vs playing the Jankowskis of the world everyday. It’s not even really about Canario, but more about Getz’s imbecilic backwards process, and his refusal to do everything possible to improve the long term future of the team.

Why would MLB step in? Manfred works for the owners, and not for the good of the game.

If that really is his vision, great, but like you said, its nothing unique. There is nothing he has done for the positive that any new hire wouldn't be inclined to do as well. But part of building through the draft, beyond trading players for prospects, is to leverage the Major League roster to find as many "diamonds in the rough" to build for the future. His trades and roster management don't point to a GM who is proactively excecuting a master plan to find and develop as many players as possible. This has all been discussed ad nauseum, but the points remain valid. Getz's failings to this point are so glaring that it strains credulity, making it rather difficult to believe that he is bringing about positive change behind the scenes.

Would any team put him in charge of minor league development after his brief tenue in the KC FO? I highly doubt it.

Nailed it!

Getz has failed upward spectacularly, while everyone else above him has at least accomplished something in the baseball world. I mean, Hahn and KW were terrible at the end, but they never lost 121 games.

Temu or AliExpress, which ever has the worse reputation.

Getz overpaid for the Dollar Store knockoffs.
