WhiteSox2023

I remember someone posting that all teams go through this. No way. This is a record setting pace.

I agree, but why doesn’t playing younger players in the outfield than Tauchman and Slater apply then in a tank year?

Apparently, Drury had the option to test free agency if he wasn’t selected for the White Sox’ Opening Day roster and he exercised that right Sunday.

Getz’s roster management is always a roller coaster of hilarity.

I think you missed a word in your post.

Our savior is gone! 🤣 Cutting the dude after he fractured his thumb? Pretty ruthless…

And what happens if his back flares up again?

If Drury was the savior, Sox never stood a chance anyways. A hot ST didn’t change that either.

There’s probably no way we will ever know for sure if the injuries were related. It would just be speculation from here. HIPAA will deny us access to this news and I doubt Getz and the Sox would ever admit responsibility, even if it was their fault.

True. But also, many listeners didn’t want to hear a couple of sports radio co-hosts focusing on their political views over talking sports. The Score has been The Snore due to this for the past 10 years, and Bernstein was the biggest culprit along with Lawrence Holmes to a lesser extent. As if anyone needed more proof that the news media is biased, these clowns made it their job to ensure that it was obvious. Afterall, why would sports radio talk politics… ever?

Bernstein has been a joke ever since Boers retired. It’s not a surprise that he’s been cycled through numerous co-hosts since then.

Small sample size cuz it’s only been 3 months but definitely not trending in the Sox favor compared to other teams.

Uhhh, no. I’m not a meth head. Getz can’t even manage a .500 season and instead set the record for futility. You said these same things about Hahn during the first rebuild and of course he failed before finally getting fired.

Getz was the director of player development (from 2017 to 2020) and the assistant GM (starting in 2021) before Hahn and Kenny were fired and he became the full GM in 2023. Of course he bears some responsibility for the farm system and roster, unless he was sitting around doing nothing in his roles and just collecting a paycheck.

The owner let the existing regime, which included Getz, make all the trades at the 2023 deadline while knowing he was going to fire both Kenny and Hahn and promote Getz from assistant GM to GM. Remember, Reinsdorf said he didn’t even interview anyone else but Getz for the GM job. It was most definitely the start of the second rebuild. Afterall, they traded away 7 players that made up 27% of the 26-man roster!

And the Sox keep getting duped by him.

This is sadly true. One of our expected best bats was a NRI and is now injured.

No, Rebuild II is now starting its third year. Hahn definitely kickstarted the second rebuild in 2023 by trading Lopez, Giolito, Lynn, Kelly, Graveman, Middleton, and Burger. Getz was the assistant GM and probably had some input regarding those trades.

This is directly due to the last beef Barstool Sports had with Bernstein when he was a dick to Barstool Eddie for no apparent reason other than calling him by his name. https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3524905/for-the-love-of-god...-do-not-call-dan-bernstein-of-the-bernstein-and-holmes-show-bernstein

When does The Rebuild Part III start?

Thorpe needs TJ surgery and Drury has a broken left thumb. I’ll go 50 wins.

Drury has a broken left thumb so he likely won’t be making the opening day roster.

I’m sure the bone spur was legit but my guess is that Thorpe’s later elbow soreness, cortisone shot, additional soreness, and removal from his start was all likely due to this pre-existing or new issue.
