They aren't new titles. They are new positions and a new organizational structure to bring the team at least into this century. I understand why people don't want to believe that it will work. What I don't understand is why people automatically default to it's the white sox so it won't work.

I disagree. I dont think he was trying to build a contender. They said it wasn't a rebuild but everyone knows it really is. They weren't going to say, "we are trying to suck." They will be bad this year but it's going to be with mostly young players getting experience to be good in a couple of years.

I definitely give him more than one year especially when he was trying to tank. I would say 3 years to show significant improvement to see how his organizational changes work. The moves so far are just to hold places until the prospects come up. He hasn't really been trying to win and won't this year either. It's a rebuild.

I know. I realize this. I've been posting and reading here for 20 years. It's amazing how it's changed.

That's one way to look at it. I just disagree. I'll give the new regime a chance.

Yeah, they knew they weren't going to re-sign him so they got at least something for him.

I know. That's really shows something. It doesn't look like it was for talent. Looks like they are trying to save everything they can. How long was Naylor under Cleveland control?

I think all of these RSN going under is going to change the face of baseball and will lead to a long lockout in 2026.

I didn't see a significant structural change with all of the new postions with the intent to make the entire organization more efficient and consistent. Nothing about all of these changes sound or look familiar. They've never had an organizational director of pitching and an organizational director of hitting.

The same owners who has historically had the smallest front office and organization who changed all of that with the new positions and hired nearly all of them from outside the organization.

But then he hired multiple people from outside the organization and created a director of pitching position and a director of hitting position to try to create more organizational consistency. None of this is the old White Sox way.

So having the same owner but an entirely different organizational structure is exactly the same as before? This is the definition of choosing to be negative and not giving the new people and structure and chance. Again, everyone is allowed to think and believe what they want. I just don't understand the always choosing the negative.

This is wrong as it's a new front office and they've created new positions and a structure that they've never had before. No one knows if it will work but there isn't information to make a decision either way.

This is unfortunately true. Objective reporting is dead its just a certain narrative and people's spin.

I disagree with pretty much all of this. No one is taking the extreme and having blind faith. Objectivity means taking a look at all sides. Not just sticking to one view all the time. This may be a foreign concepts to many. All I said is I don't understand the negativity of not giving someone a chance. I didn't take a side or agree with anyone. I didn't say are going to win the world series and we should all believe they will do well.

That's true I guess. People would much prefer to go the easy route and be negative instead of looking at the changes made and choose to give the new people a chance. I guess I just don't understand why the lack of objectivity and having open minds.

That's awful. Such a fun guy. RIP.

Yeah, but social media and reporting is making huge profits. Negativity sells.

Who is blaming the fans? They can do whatever they want. Just the way people are.

Being negative and wallowing sells. People would rather complain and moan instead of look for hope. Society today.

Sounds like a good reason to blame the layoffs throughout the system on the Sox. Good deflection by the organization to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Blame the Sox so people don't blame the people running the organization.

I looked it up. It's the ALLCITY group. Similar to the Locked on group. I like the locked on better as a while but the Sox and bears were better with CHGO.

I didn't realize they were a nationwide organization. I thought they were local because of the CHGO. What is the parent organization?

That's what people are saying. They layoffs weren't isolated to the Sox staff.

Including the people who cover the Bears and the other teams?
