On the score they are saying that TLR was in Jerrys ear on this and that is why they were fired. That Tony is currently scouting our minor leagues ( probably to see who he wants to keep or trade away ). If Tony is the puppet in the back, we are screwed.
If true, fans need to riot a la disco night

Hopefully they will make the tough decisions that Hahn was obviously never going to make.
Supposedly Hahn had a trade in place for TA but Kenny trading Burger to the Marlins ruined that.

I really can't get over how pwn3d i am.
Literally kept thinking how much an internal hire or moore would be the worst case scenario and it's Moore AND getz. LMAO. 10/10, no notes.
Add in that I was pining for someone with a braves background.
Truly you couldn't get more cursed monkey paw.
DId you forget to add that TLR is back?

Gun to head Soxtalk: Getz or Moore for GM

Laurence Holmes mentioned something on his special breaking news show about how KW wanted to trade Burger but Hahn had an Anderson deal in place that had to fall apart because of the Burger move. I’m not sure if that is just a rumor but I hadn’t seen it here and thought I’d mention it.
Jfc that is infuriating

I feel very uneasy. Happy KW and RH are gone, but feels like a very dark cloud over this franchise, and I feel its going to be dark for a very long time.

Sorry I got pulled away. A few more thoughts on Chris Getz:
He is a former player and has a better understanding how to build a baseball team better than Rick Hahn ever will.
I don't think Chris Getz signs a giant turd like Mike Clevinger.
I don't think Chris Getz would sign an aging horrific defensive catcher to the organizations largest contract (at the time)
I don't think Chris Getz would sign a left fielder singles hitter to the organizations largest contract
I don't think Chris Getz would play a 1B in the OF for multiple years
I don't think Chris Getz would allocate so much money to the bullpen
I don't think Chris Getz will completely ignore the importance of defense, baserunning and depth
I don't think Chris Getz will fire successful scouts, trainers and medical staff and replace them with incompetent idiots
I'm not saying Chris Getz is going to be a great GM but I'm more than willing to give him a chance to prove he can be a good GM one day.
I think Chris Getz oversaw one of the worst development programs in MLB

The problem is still at the top. Getz takes over, so what? KW and RH were bad but the bad will keep coming.

This settles it, the Sox are going to move out of Chicago. I have been calling this for a while now. The franchise has a failure BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED TO BE!!! How else would they entertain the thought of moving out of Chicago if they were a success?

This is PR. It is coming from Bob who gets his orders from Jerry himself. Its going to calm the fanbase, another 'carrot on the stick' approach by Jerry. Get everyone thinking change is coming when it most certainly is not.

A's fans are making this happen all by themselves, white sox fans aren't engaging too much unfortunately.

Vaughn 1500 ABs - 0.9 WAR
Burger 600 ABs - 2.5 WAR
Vaughn is untouchable, Burger got traded for a broken AA prospect

Stay home a - holes.
Lifes short, might as well raise hell. Almost 20 years of straight futility while the owner kicks our dicks in. Baseball is important to me and cheering for a Sox brand I can be proud of is what I want. Cubs fans calling us trash and we roll with it like cuckolds. Years ago it we wouldnt. I want to be a proud sox fan again and I know there are many out there like me who are tired of this and just want their voices heard for one night.
A's fans are more excited about it than Sox fans so far, the latter apathetic and barely engaged. Maybe the wrong franchise is getting moved.

See post in the whitesox subreddit:
QuoteThe Oakland A's come to town August 24-27th and I don't believe there would be a better time for this. I propose we organize a SELL THE TEAM night and get as many Sox fans together as possible to get some chants going all game. Doing so would let the FO know the fans have a LOUD voice while also showing solidarity with our Oakland A's brothers and sisters who will soon be losing their team.
Look I know Jerry isn't going to nod and bow down because of this, however seeing 10000s of fans chanting their heads off like its a playoff game would go down in Sox history and could be major news (another black eye for the org). ANYTHING to make Hahn and any other media facing individuals squirm is a win. I will never forget the loud Fire Tony chants from last year and the absolute stink that caused.
All the years of treating fans like garbage, NO MORE! I have had enough of this organization and its incompetence!!!! WE DESERVE BETTER!
WHEN: I am suggesting Saturday August 26th (Dylan Cease Bobblehead Night)
WHAT: Dress in all black, bring banners, signs, tell your friends, post on social media, get as many there as possible, or support in any way!
Oakland game earlier this year:
If we can even get half of this it would be something, I would do anything possible to make that happen. This could be an epic night in Sox history.
"This won't do anything": Thats fine, we can still have fun and come together for something we all love. You can still spread the word to Sox fans or social media to show support.
"Its stupid to give Jerry all this money": He is 87 years old and a multi billionaire. One large crowd wont make a difference to his wallet. If we are going to spend money on this org then lets get our worth.
Lets make this a night to never forget.
EDIT: I am sure Bulls fans would love to join as well, if this picks up steam I could go other to r/chicagobulls and see if anyone wants to support.

Remember last year the SELL THE TEAM signs at the park? And the billboards in the spring?
As long as they make a lot of money nothing is going to embarrass them. If something really would, given all the dysfunction and incompetence it would have had an impact by now.
It's simple, nothing changes and nothing will change until current ownership is gone.
I do remember them, and I would always remember a crowd of 30000 yelling SELL THE TEAM. It will be burned in my mind forever and it would be amazing. A banner held by 2 kids and a small billboard wouldnt compare.

Pedro is clearly not the man for the job, but this mess predates him. It starts at the top.
Sox fans need to organize and do a Sell the Team night like in Oakland. Hell, we play the A's soon. It would be amazing to get a sellout playoff type atmosphere chanting SELL THE TEAM. This would embarass the FO more and also show some love to our A's brothers and sisters.
Anyone know some big Sox personalities to get this rolling?
