@WBWSF already has the job locked up. He interviewed directly with Jerry.

I requested an interview with JR for the GM job a couple of times. I never received a response from him. I would have loved to be interviewed. He would have never forgot the interview with me. I would have dazzled him with my White Sox/baseball knowledge.

I bet you wouldn't have traded for Castillo. That salary is a problem.

Do you think that last part is actually the #1 qualification?

Didn't matter at all when hiring Schriffen.

In fact, as a GM, better to approach this job without any preconceived notions/history due to those past 40+ years under JR.

I never troll. I always speak the truth.

By not hiring you, at least the city saved on paying cops OT working the multiple parades.

I do believe that you believe that.

Now I really am concerned, given some of what I've read in the past.

Dazzled lol

Really wish they’d just DFA Benintendi and make Ant/Grichuk the platoon DH while improving left field defense. Good news is that it seems organization isn’t blind about how bad LF defense was and Braden’s struggles as well. Lots of work to be done to improve the team, but man that Castillo deal is an albatross.

A 1 year deal is NEVER an albatross. add in the massive bump in ticket sales and post season revenue and Jerry can put that in his pipe and smoke it.

To most franchises, no it is not. To Jerry, it is just another opportunity to hold onto a bad contract as long as possible.

It shouldn’t be an albatross. Our payroll is still miniscule and this isn’t a big arb year either. They should go out and spend (wisely) regardless.

I think Nick Martinez is a sneaky target if the Sox want to go pick up two arms. I like his fit, and he should be closer to a normal Sox expenditure. Hopefully he could be coupled someone like King or Rogers. Probably a pipe dream to get both, but it would be nice.

Not a big fan of chasing a 36 year old coming off of a career year and a record high IP by about 30 innings when you include his playoff time.

Get King and I’ll be excited. Not sure they will add more than one (though I hope so). Push Kay to pen and have Schultz and Sandlin as the top options at Charlotte to replace guys who may get hurt/DFA’d (looks at Castillo) would be nice
