White Sox management/coaching team should be embarrassed with the product they are putting out there.  The off season acquisitions have been awful.  How long do the fans have to wait for a change?

Basically the only positive is, how can it possibly get worse?

when you're making this post next year, the team is again projected for 62 wins.

I feel pretty good about Getz taking over the GM role.  The starting pitching and defense has been pretty good so far, but the lack of run production is painful to watch.

I'm willing to give Getz another year or two. He knew this was an absolute punt year, so he committed nothing to it. Which, while watching is completely awful, I understand to a degree. You have young guys either coming up this year or should be ready next year. I think offseason 2025 is the big one and a place where we see if he actually starts signing impact guys. 

Grifol should have been fired midseason last year. Just an absolute fucking moron. 

Not sure either of them were ever qualified for one of the most prestigious jobs in sports (1 of 30 MLB managers/GMs)...In fact, I would confidently say they weren't...This team needs an overhaul top to bottom and it begins with ownership

Not only was no one else interviewed for the GM job, but I can say with absolute certainty no other MLB Team viewed Getz as an MLB ready GM. Yet here he is…

Well they are outperforming their Pythagorean W-L%.   Seems it could get worse.

They never even did an interview process.  They literally took the guy that failed in his role and moved him up.

The Peter principle in action. Rising to ones upmost level of incompetence.

Crochet blowing out his arm

Whoever the new Owner is when Jerry dies or sells needs to gut the organization to the studs.

I'm not sure if John Reinsdorf has that in him.

This question is asked every year. And somehow, the Sox always show us the answer.

We don’t need to worry about this.  His kids will sell the Sox when he dies.  The real concern is Jerry may outlive us and we’ll never know what a non Reinsdorf owner White Sox org operates like.

Show some appreciation. 
 

Jerry could have subjected us to a long, drawn out process. He owed it to us to put such a competitive product on the field. 
 

I can only hope you socialist assholes will help him continue to be a job creator with whatever new home he blesses us with.

Would love to see what Ayn Rand and Alan Greenspan could do with this team.  Couldn't be any worse to turn it over to a venture capitalist or private equity firm, lol.

It couldn’t be worse if you turned it over to caller Berto from Silva and Waddle.

Its been a week, FIRE EVERYONE!

Sad part is JR is more than happy with Getz

Pretty soon it will be gimmick time, like Bill Veeck.  Bring in Peter Dinklage to pinch hit. Sign Jennie Finch.  There has to be a Willie Mays Hayes or Ricky Vaughn out there.  They could sign Trevor Bauer and just call him Wild Thing.

It's a possibility that Getz may turn into a decent GM, but this organization is at a new low. And it has the gall to ask for a publicly funded stadium.

The Diamondbacks scored more runs in a single inning on March 29th (14) than the Sox have scored in 7 games (13).
