Mike is a great leader of men and we think that a platoon of Tauchman and Slater could be as productive as one full-time RF. I thanked Jerry for extending our payroll plans for 2025 to allow us to add a player of Tauchman’s caliber. Edited December 10, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

Can't Jerry have him work with some professional in the field of public speaking (Toastmasters) so he can sound a little more polished? I mean this is an MLB GM. He doesn't have to sound like a lawyer like Hahn as you said but at least he should come across as not a stuttering clown. Oh wait I forgot....Jerry can't get someone who teaches public speaking skills to help him because that too would cost money. My bad what was I thinking.

He also turns beet red and sweats bullets as he’s stammering his way through the BS he is slinging.

Make no mistake, this is exactly how JR wants it. You hire someone that no other self respecting organization would hire for a lateral role so you can a) lowball him on salary and b) ensure he will do exactly what he's told, because he has no other meaningful employment options unless he wants to go way down the totem pole. As JR once said, the savvy negotiator creates his own leverage. JR is an awful owner but unfortunately he's a pretty sharp guy. Edited December 10, 20241 yr by SoCalChiSox

Hahn was definitely the GOAT of slinging bullshit. That dude could do a 30 minute interview basically saying nothing, but you’d come away feeling he was on top of his s%*#. Getz just comes off lacking confidence. If he can make better trades then who ultimately cares.

If he can make better trades then who ultimately cares. Hahn had the lawyer talk skills. He could speak for an hour and afterwards you realize he said nothing and gave no detailed information whatsoever.
