With Shane Smith now sent down and Vasil injured...what's left for our current GM to hang his hat on?

Crochet deal..still to be determined, Ray Ray with a strong position on this one

Venable

Bringing in more exec talent and modernizing the front office.

Colson Montgomery "rehab" from collapse outside Top 100 prospecrs to AL RoY consideration after Kurtz.

Vargas deal

Signing Murakami

Houser's 2025 season

Being bad enough as a team to get the Cholowsky 1-1 pick in 2026

Bringing team into era of unprecedented lowest revenues in the entire majors status

Getting someone to take all $22 million of Luis Robert’s salary and 2027 buyout commitment

Caleb Bonemer's ascension to elite hitting prospect

Outlasting Bulls' front office, sort of

Convincing people he didn’t fail terribly in his previous role

Couldn't this just go in the pre-existing Getz bashing thread?

Even I don't need this. We have a thread for it.

Fine, merge it.

I mean there's a dedicated thread about PHing Benintendi or whatever.

The Sox are quite fortunate that they possess the 1-1 pick this year or things would be even more bleak than they already are.

The more the merrier. If someone starts getzysuckstalk.com I'll be there too.

Might be Billy Carlson with that pretty high extended follow through extension.

Getz's biggest accomplishment was convincing JR he was the person for the job.

hopefully Ishbia will be sitting in the front row with a sell the team sign

I've always wondered how i would have done as the White Sox GM if JR would have interviewed me for the job. I don't think I would have been as bad as Getz has been.

His biggest accomplishment will be if he can avoid a third straight 100+ loss season as the GM and fourth straight 100+ loss season while with the front office in some capacity (Assistant GM and GM).

Like I’ve said in the past, a monkey throwing a dart at options to choose from to decide on them likely could do as well as Getz has.

“ANY DAY NOW, JERRY”

Another great Getz accomplishment is being such a great company man that Jerry let him fail upwards to the GM position.

Getz is currently trying to work a deal with the devil to give up some of his own years of life to Jerry. He knows he will be out of baseball just like Kenny and Hahn once Ishbia takes over and cleans house.

He didn't interview anyone to avoid constructive criticism or any advice.

This is our get better sooner according to him.

It could bet this will last longer. Ishbia needs to gut this organization and who knows more years of s%*#.

Even the Rockies look much better than the White Sox out of the gate at .500.

I remember I used to frequent JayTheJoke.com around 20 years ago. A bunch of people that hated, with good reason, Jay Mariotti.

I wonder what Ishbia is personally thinking knowing that this is his future franchise, but it continues to be run into the ground and Jerry holds the option to sell for another 8 years.

Obviously he knew what he was agreeing to when he made the deal with JR last year, but it must be maddening to know he might have to sit on the sidelines until as late as 2034 and watch this unacceptable level of incompetence.

Here's the crazy thing. The Sox sit at 28th in MLB in payroll, behind historically big spenders such as Tampa Bay, The A's, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee. This is including the fact that Chris Getz had to beg Jerry for a special payroll addition to get Mune. If he hadn't signed, we would be dead last in baseball in spending this year.

30th.

And yet nowhere close to the Guardians spending that exact same $70 million.

Getz traded Cease and Robert Jr and received nothing in return. Those 2 trades would get most GMs fired.

I've said it before and i will say it again, the major objective of this management team is to have a low payroll. A low payroll is more important than winning games.
