And the same owner who wants taxpayers to pay for his new stadium. The irony is delicious. Apparently, the world only owes Jerry something…

You just mentioned two franchises that have been abysmal for decades outside of a decent season here or there. Reinsdorf is still the common denominator.

In the past, Rick Hahn even stated that he reviewed Sox message boards. I’m not sure why this is some big surprise. Also, perhaps traffic is down because the Sox absolutely suck and fans are fed up with Jerry’s clown show?

I always thought the truth hurts. I didn’t know it was funny. Enjoy going to games this year. $67 million dollar payroll. Jerry loves your support. Throw a sh!t product out on the field and some chump will still pay to see it. The team won’t win anything but Jerry will.

In your post on the previous page of this thread, you claimed the following — “Of course they [the White Sox] don't give a s%*# about this message board.” A mod of this board, who can see the users that sign up along with their names, email addresses, etc., responded to your claim with the following — “High level members of the front office, both in marketing and baseball ops visit the board frequently.” You were wrong. The end.

When you get destroyed in a discussion, always change the subject. Excellent strategy.

Keep laughing. It’s true.

I think the worms will get to him before that ever happens. He has zero leverage. His team blows and the Cubs are still in the same city.

What does the Sox sucking balls have to do with the world owing anyone anything? The world didn’t gift Sox fans with a record setting season of futility. Jerry earned that achievement all by himself.

A bad team with a bad owner who promoted a guy to GM that is in over his head and making bad moves.

Bickering about the bickerers is always better.

Sheets was only good enough to start for Hahn, Getz, and the Sox.

Yep, that’s Getz’s only bad move thus far. You nailed it.

Why do you seem to think that this is some sort of burn or something? You could say the same thing about every Sox fan that attends games. Unlike you, Dick Allen recognized complete and utter failure and decided to stop supporting a terrible team and its owner.

So everyone pretty much thought the Crochet trade was good, but if I say it was good it doesn’t count? Okay… Getz was “overwhelmed and misled by the Dodgers”? What is he, a 10 year old boy getting cheated by an adult at Monopoly? 🤣 That’s called you making more excuses for Getz.

Yep, the awful moves are literally glaringly obvious to anyone else but he manages to sugarcoat it all. Brooks Boyer should hire him to a new position — White Sox Lead Apologist.

Zavala will have to steal the outfield job away from Fletcher first. 🤣

Too late. @Dick Allen already did.

I have no clue what you are saying about me regarding the Crochet trade. Go back to the trade thread — I called it a good return immediately when it happened. But good lord, the dude was trading a starter that turned into an ace and making next to nothing. The Bummer, Santos, and Fletcher trades were reasonable? I disagree, as Fletcher is terrible, but regardless, reasonable still isn’t good. I asked for your list of Getz’s good trades. You cited one good trade that he made in Crochet and then rambled some more BS about Maldonado. Even I managed to cite three.

Guys not working out (especially position players) like Fletcher, Vargas, etc., means that the Sox still have no clue how to scout players. It’s great that they can look at a top ten prospect list for the Red Sox and know who to ask for in return for Crochet but they need to be able to identify talent better than they do.

I think that would make sense, but he’s 34 and can’t hit anymore. We’ll see if they cut him. The Angels still owe Rendon $76 million — $38 million in each of 2025 and 2026. Absolutely brutal.

When did I ever say that about Fajardo and Combs? I just argued that with where the Sox are currently at (i.e., terrible), trading any young prospects for old relievers is stupid. And Getz has like three good trades — Crochet, DeJong, and Grossman. Go figure, even Getz was able to get a good return for a cheap starter with control that magically turned into an ace! Any GM could have done that. The rest of his moves are mediocre to bad. He ruined his Fedde acquisition by trading him for Vargas. What is your list of all of Getz’s great trades?

Exactly. DeLoach was cut by Getz in under a year since he was acquired and just passed through waivers unclaimed and was outrighted to Charlotte. But let’s all be excited that the Sox managed to retain such a talent. 🤣 DeLoach, Wilson… just more Getz fails.
