September 10, 20241 yr https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2024/09/09/white-sox-getz-collecting-names-in-manager-search ‘‘We’ve built out a process that we feel very good about,’’ Getz said. ‘‘Simultaneously, we’ve been able to collect names through referrals or our own research, and we feel pretty good about the amount of candidates that we have. Once we get our season to the finish line, we’ll devote more time and begin the interview process. ‘‘It’s really about understanding what we feel is the best fit for the Chicago White Sox and finding the criteria we feel is going to make for a strong decision in the end.’’ Getz said he wants to be respectful of contending teams and doesn’t have a timeline.
September 10, 20241 yr 6 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: His strategy is to delay, delay, delay so he's employed longer. Definitely. He knows he’s never getting another GM job again so he has to make the most of this.
September 10, 20241 yr Yeah, that was really vague. He was asked to provide more detail later and didn't. I can excuse some of it because its not the end of the season yet, but you should still know what you want. The decision has probably been made for him already.
September 10, 20241 yr Willie Harris will come back to manage the Sox 20 years after winning the World Series with the team. What a feel good story it will be. We won't even notice a third straight 100 loss season.
September 10, 20241 yr ‘‘We’ve built out a process that we feel very good about,’’ May god have mercy on us all...

September 10, 20241 yr Just now, JoeC said: I can't believe they're not considering TLR. He's busy pulling the marionette strings attached to Getz.

September 10, 20241 yr 6 minutes ago, Kyyle23 said: “Gathering names” In other words, they already have the next manager lined up, but they won't announce it until after the season to make it look like they did a search.
September 10, 20241 yr 4 hours ago, JoeC said: I can't believe they're not considering TLR. Bobby Cox, another HoF manager is available.

Either being passed over or not actively looking to be a manager, is something JR values. Toss in JR lamenting that "letting him leave was my second biggest mistake" would be icing on the turd.

September 10, 20241 yr I want Ditka. Laugh all you want but he'd be better than Grifol or Sizemore (probably Schumaker as well)

September 10, 20241 yr I’m gathering names of actresses I’d like to take home too. Unfortunately I’ll probably end up with Bea Arthur (RIP).
