If that doesn’t tell you anything as a fan . I don’t think anything will. Hahn was nothing but a KW puppet who was placed up to take the fall for everything that went bad and when things were going well, KW puffed his chest and showed up. Then went back into hiding shortly after. Edited August 23, 2023 by Vote4Pedro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Zelig Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Wow! Good news, but the job is only half done. Jerry needs to take a new approach with finding replacements or it’s just more of the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing this shows is Rick was neutered long before the TLR hiring. I feel zero sadness for either of those clowns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The most White Sox thing will be for us to hire outside the organization only for Chris Getz to go on to become one of MLB's great general managers for some other franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were serious about raising the bid they would throw the players out with those anatomically correct blow-up dolls. Actually they might want to keep those dolls to pad their back to school attendance numbers. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Ozzie did saythat he feels like Jerry knows who the guy will be to replace to KW based on that end of season comment. I kind of agree with that. I think Jerry has someone in mind and has likely begun discussions with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Can we all agree that Dayton Moore as President of Baseball Ops, Chris Getz as GM, and Buddy Bell as manager is the ultimate nightmare scenario? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Just now, fathom said: Click, Moore or Getz IMO Click would be interesting. The Moore idea is terrifying to me and I pray it not a real option. I really don’t see Getz being bumped up to replace KW. Had Rick been the sole sacrificial lamb then I could have seen Getz as GM under Kenny, but he can’t be the head baseball decision maker for this org.
