He’s trying to find his protractor still.

I seriously doubt Jerry has any real influence on the draft. And Tony may share his thoughts, but he is just one voice in a broader decision-making group. This pick will come down to Getz & Shirley’s views on the top players.

Hopefully Tony and Jerry are nowhere near this process

I guess I dont understand what is being alleged. The draft powers at be Shirley and Getz want the more ready Roch who can quickly go through the system for a winning window to open now, but that might be kiboshed by an 81 year La Russa influencing a 90 year old Reinsdorf who may sell the team as soon as 2029? How does that make sense?

I just will have a major Karen event if the White Sox value system timing with the bloody #1 overall pick over the best player available period. Criminal

It does not at all sound like that in that shared snippet. Just its a bonus, and wouldn't make sense for the geriatrics to push against
