bmags Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Honestly about as bad as it gets. And as exuberantly JR as it can get. The man just wants best friends and to gleefully hate the people who love this team: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2023/08/23/white-sox-changes-gm-chris-getz-dayton-moore/70656755007/ 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This organization is dead. What TF has Chris Getz done to earn a promotion to GM?? Was “Project Birmingham” a success and we just don’t know it? Everything sucks with the White Sox and we’re all tired of it. Edited August 23, 2023 by chetkincaid 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Getz main qualifications are apparently that he had no power and so it's impressive that he wasn't good at what he did have power over. And it's phrased as a positive so yeah. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 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. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Sox podcast (Sox in the Basement) had James Fox on and the host suggested that the minority share holders all rallied together to fire KW and Hahn.

Dayton Moore is somehow worse than just hiring Getz. Yes...the 14/15 royals were good. It took FOREVER to build up that team. Then he oversaw just an astonishingly bad rebuild where he recouped nothing of value from his talent and despite top draft budgets, big INTL budgets and room to develop the royals have one of the worst farms in baseball 6 years after the rebuild started. And a team that is worse than the sox. That's amazing...aMAZing to hire someone where you can squint and say "Hahn is probably better" 4 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just hard for me to believe any of these leaks when no one saw KW Hahn getting fired. No one has their ear in the front office clearly, except Hahn leaking s%*# to save himself. I will say Getz being hired though isn't inherently surprising. Edited August 23, 2023 by Buehrle>Wood 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 This is really depressing, Getz is in charge of the worst farm system in baseball and he gets promoted to General Manager. I think JR is losing his mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy that...it's just I don't know who could be talking to Nightengale and he is speaking incredibly confidently. Full of fabulous's and boobisms. If JR thought he could keep that team until pressed, I can see his temper tantrum response to just getting guys that "have resumes" (DAYTON MOORE WON A WORLD SERIES AND YOU ALL ARE TRYING TO SAY HE'S BAD?!?) and are likely to be his best friend still.
