Dick Allen Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 This is reminding me of the Bill Veeck era. Time to sell JR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) The best part is that this isn’t just a flier signing. Passan said Flexen was signed to fill out the rotation. Getz for the win. Edited December 30, 2023 by WhiteSox2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 You know, I think that Rick Hahn thought that he was legitimately trying. If Chris Getz thinks that he's legitimately trying, then boy, this is the saddest fucking thing ever. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony La Russa plus the Kimbrel and Steak Dinner deals plus extension put a fork in any White Sox “multi championship window”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getz is literally overpaying washed up bums at this point, and you could argue that they shouldn’t even be receiving anything but a minor league deal.

They won’t have money to spend, don’t have enough quality trade chips and they don’t develop players well enough. I don't know why you hold onto Robert at this point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give anything for the Veeck years over this ownership group! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Getz is stockpiling projects for Bannister and his veteran catchers. Might just work with a few of these guys. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is silly is the flaming bags of dog poo flung this week by many of the who supported the high priced morbidly obese s%*# Hahn signed throughout ten years, spending less that what Hahn paid for a season of Parrot. Well that and the Assclowns who praised Rick Hahn for the Carriesque like GM of the Year Award for finishing third in the AL Central and signing the aforementioned on their last MLB contracts.

Pale Sox Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I hate the lack of process that resulted in Getz, but I‘m not putting this on him. This is Renisdorf. He’s a poison to and on the city of Chicago. he’s had multiple opportunities to take this franchise to the next level, and EVERY SINGLE TIME he pulls them down. I’m throwing a goddamn party when that piece of s%*# dies. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
