Very interested parties at that time were George Lucas and his wife. Also heard Shad Khan and Tony Khan from Jacksonville Jags had interest. Didn't think too much of it at the time, but today is interesting. Oh f*** yes! Been hyping George and his wife as our potential savior for some time.

JR just has to give her Free reign. Can we trade Jhan Marinez and Osvaldo Martinez in exchange for Kim Ng? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 32 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: They could promote him up to President of Ops mid-season. It's not unheard of. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palehose1 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) The timing of the teams new stadium announcement, and the changing of the management may be related. I heard a group led by Melody Hobson who already owns 30% of nonvoting Sox stock, CEO of Ariel Investments, Chairwoman of Starbucks and George Lucas wife is part of the potential new ownership group (she is already part of the current nonvoting ownership). Reinsdorf's son would own 25% and that would shelter part of the capital gains tax. Another new investor may be part of the group too. In the end, it's all up to the fact they must hire the right person for President of Baseball Operations and give them full authority over all baseball decisions. Getz, Grifol, Haber are all lame ducks until the new Baseball President is hired. And I believe Jerry will be out of the picture. I truly think Jerry is done and wants to walk away. Ownership consortiums like these are a rarity today, usually they are billionaires looking for a "hobby" investment. But it has to be better than the current structure both at the Board level as well as the Kenny / Rick arrangement. Call me an optimist but I hear and foresee more changes coming in the next several months Edited August 23, 2023 by palehose1 6 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shago Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Eloy in the post game highlighted in his lame, loser responses one of the main issues with the organization, zero leadership in the clubhouse, zero enthusiasm, zero discipline. Talent only takes you so far. Pods just nailed it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuffy went in on KW…. Yep, couple of notes: - KW wanted to trade Burger, not Rick - KW called McGuffey to talk s%*# before that big Guardians series last year, acting like a total jerk - KW and Hahn didn’t work well together - Yoan was destroyed during the podcast by Chuck and Guff 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Good. This team is despicably bad. Thank goodness they have been shown the door. Their performance in building this rotten team is unprecedented. Every move they've made just about is horrific. Trading Burger alone is fire-worthy plus so many other things. Team needs a new manager NOW as well. Team needs a good GM. This team is so bad it's like an expansion franchise right now. Good luck to whatever GM comes aboard. I'd say this team won't sniff .500 for five years minimum prolly longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Garfein and Guff buried KW in their podcast. They basically say that for the last 11 years there was not a clear chain of command in the building, culminating with the Burger trade.

South Side Hit Men Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Apparently Jerry had serious and frank conversations about the state of his franchise at the HOF ceremony in Cooperstown, which led to the process that culminated in this decision happening today. I assume Tony La Russa was one of the persons who spoke with Jerry. The key at this point is will the new person have full authority over Baseball Operations, including choices over everyone in the organization including replacing Pedro Grifol, Daryl Boston, Chris Getz, and anyone / everyone else as they see fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
