nitetrain8601 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 This makes me miss Joe Cowley who would blast off on the hiring process and this organization. Is there anything White Sox fans can do to get JR investigated for this promotion and lack of process? Maybe spam tweet MLB, commish's office, etc.? Never been so disappointed in a team before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 LMAO this press release is brutal. hahahahahahaha https://www.mlb.com/news/chris-getz-named-white-sox-general-manager?partnerID=web_article-share Quote “Chris brings a wealth of knowledge and experience within our organization to this role,” said White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf in a statement. “Most importantly, he knows our players, both at the major league level and in our system, knows our staff and is familiar with all aspects of our baseball operations department. “Chris has impressed me greatly over the past seven years. In our conversations together this season, I have become energized by his vision, approach and sense of what this organization needs to become competitive again. With his existing knowledge of the organization, top to bottom, I believe his leadership will provide us with the quickest path forward to our goal, a consistently successful baseball team that competes and plays the game the right way. He will re-energize this organization.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has built two organizations around him with the foremost goal of just insulating him from criticism or knowledge of the outside world. Why not Carl Everett? He still denies the existence of dinosaurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 23 minutes ago, Milkman delivers said: Am I to understand that he’s basically taking on KW and Hahn’s spots combined? Yes. JR is smart enough to understand he only needs to pay for 1 "yes" man. No need to pay 2 people to say "yes" to him separately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's learned somehow what NOT to do to be awful...and will now do the opposite. And what, no mention of his time with the Royals that laid the groundwork for this oncoming fiasco? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) 16 minutes ago, SoCalChiSox said: Not surprising but still disappointing. Sigh This. Twitter, my text threads, the Score acting like this is some sort of shocking breaking news. This was already expected 2 weeks ago. It sucks, move on. Until Reinsdorf sells or dies, only "YES" men will get high profile jobs on this team. They couldn't control Ozzie's mouth, so he got canned. That would be the last hire (a person with a pulse) like that. Edited August 31, 2023 by HOFHurt35 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those old rich guys don't care what fans think. The only thing they understand is money. And the only think we can do to affect change is boycotting the games and merchandise. I wouldn't spend a dime on this team. I'd rather go see the Schaumburg Boomers or Kane County Cougars before I give any money to the White Sox. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Chris, in a way you led the organization's rebuild by being in charge of the minors, specifically project Birmingham. Clearly it barely produced as 0 playoff wins came out of it. Can you explain why in your eyes you deserve this promotion and what you will now change seeing as if how the first rebuild was a disaster?

Lip Man 1 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'll be curious if they have an actual press conference or if they are simply just sending out releases. Also NBC Sports Chicago has a comprehensive look at Getz and what he has done. They are very critical: https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-news/who-is-chris-getz-what-to-know-about-lead-candidate-for-white-sox-head-of-baseball-operations/503188/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
