I could get behind hiring Lombard and then taking his son 1-1 or 1-2 in 2026. 

Oh wow I didn't know that was his son.  That Kid has a chance to be somethin special.  

George Lombard out of the mix per Heyman. 

TLR shouldn't have any say in who the coach is. He isn't the GM, but JR is going to be JR.

It’s going to be Nevin isn’t it?

I kind of enjoy the info that Harold provides to the board (for free by the way). All of the bitching and moaning about him and his info is fucking absurd. It would suck if he went away or stopped sharing with random message board people. 

For free? Oh wow, honorable!

I’m going to believe it’s Nevin til it’s not

Nevin tells me either TLR is running the show or Getz is an old-school moron.

Is this the stupid manager that told the Mariners player that he was going to throw at him in the very next game, and then did?

Yup. You can’t find a guy who sounds more like “everything that has been wrong with this team” than him.

I'll give Getz one thing: He's good at slashing the budget.

He's a better a McKinsey man than Hahn or Haber.

There are a couple inside the organization choices that could top it.

Skip left the Marlins because he didn’t want to be part of a full rebuild with a new GM. What makes you think he was ever going to come to the Sox?

 

All the rumors are saying he’s waiting until ‘26 for the right opportunity to open up 

So Venable in interested in taking the job but JR doesn’t want to pay?

Can they demote Getz to manager?

He and Pete Butiegieg are basically clones....with that aw shucks Midwest quality.

Has he been ruled out?

And who else is left of known candidates?

While true, I think LaRussa at age 80 is probably unlikely to be physically able to survive it, and a manager dying in the dugout would be a lot even for the White Sox

It would not be a good look with fans probably betting on who would “exit” the Sox first — Jerry or TLR.

For sure. You put those kind of tools with a kid who's been around the game his whole life, he's got a chance.
