So when the Sox lose 115+ games over the next two years, who will the next manager be? 

Worth mentioning, this eliminates both Tony and Ozzie, thankfully.

 

The good news is whoever eventually gets this job has a 99.99% chance of being an upgrade from Pedro. Of course I thought the same thing about Hahn.

Of all the things to complain about, you've chosen how the man is dressed.

They need to hire someone who has managed before. They need to learn from the Grifail.  Pedro aced the interview. He aced the press conference, then reality snuck in, and he was in way over his head.

Ozzie and AJ were never real candidates. We should filter out all posts that contain Bob Nightengale.  AJ was recently fired by Jerry, I doubt they would turn around and then give him a coaching opportunity

LOL, this team is ridiculous.  Yes, this may be the right strategy FINALLY, but there is no hard and fast rule that a good manager has to have worked/played for the Sox, or now has to have worked/played for a team other than the Sox.  JR and Getz are an absolute joke.  They may as well use a Ouija Board to select the next manager.

I wonder if that is why Skip Shumaker is a leading candidate...

You're not wrong but I think most of us would prefer someone external, not from the Sox or Royals.  In the end, it likely won't make a difference, this guy's head will be in the chopping block in 2 years.  Baseball America just did a short live stream, basically stating that the future of the White Sox is going to be very bleak.

Laugh reacts only.  It's either that or cry.

He dressed down due to his nerves.  Take a look at how much Getz is sweating in that video, while spouting out all of that BS.

Now he may need up to 5 years to figure out the roster.

And there will be more than 1 option every offseason including this one, so why would he come here as opposed to, oh I don't know, any other opening?

Low expectations and a solid farm. Why would anyone have agreed to manage Baltimore 5 years ago? They were historically cheap, poorly run and in a much tougher division.

He is talking about the whole organization and I don't think he is wrong. They are in much better shape AS A WHOLE than they have been. Sucks real bad right now, but hopefully pays off in the next few years.

White Sox language translated:

”Outside the organization” = “Kansas City Royals”

JR: Only Getz can do this quickly.

Getz: The AL Central is winnable

 ~ 1 year later ~ 

Getz: Whoever said we could do this quickly???

You can't make this up. 28-89 , his top prospect is hitting .210 in AAA and can't hit a fastball, and he says progress.

Great, another guy who isn't wanted by their current team.

I believe Skip wanted out after Ng left. I could be wrong though.

The Sox traded for a bust player without a position with their third best trade chip on the advice of a coach they just fired.

This organization is dysfunctional and needs to be cleaned out entirely.

Fans aren't getting shot, I guess.
