Maybe they can have a bulletproof vest night. That should attract a few thousand.

And still had White Sox ties.

I hope someone has the guts to ask he why he will be different from the previous guys, and ask how involved LaRussa is.

Basically with the buyout, Clevinger is owed the equivalent of a player making around $31 million.

I will give them this. It very well could be the same. Maybe even a 99% chance. But at least there is a slight chance it will be different from the previous clown show.

I don't feel bad for him. I'm pretty sure if there were 29 other GM openings this winter, he would land none of them

Pedro got hired because he said what KW and RH wanted to hear. Getz gets hired and JR mentions Getz says what he wants to hear. The problem is, this organization is messed up from top to bottom. Fixing it requires things they don't want to hear.

The logic of this hire is mindboggling to me. If Getz being the GM was the fastest way to perennial success like JR says in the press release, why wasn't he moved into this role a lot sooner? Failed lackies from a failed regime will keep failing. Enjoy your laughingstock status JR.

From the press release. In that role, he was involved in player evaluation, acquisition, staffing decisions, the amateur draft and the sports science department. He has overseen the club’s minor league operations and player development system since 2017. How do you get promoted?

Pedro gets a reprieve, but I will be anything, next year when they suck, Pedro is going to be the sacrificial lamb. It's all going to be his fault.

Besides getting JR's lunch order correct for over a week, what has Getz ever done to warrant this promotion?

Its the same title Hahn had. KW was Executive VP. Horseshit hire. Why can't the White Sox show the fans they care?

TA got going a bit right before the trade deadline, but he's really sucked since.

It's going to cost a team at least $5.2 million for a month of Clevinger. I doubt he gets claimed.

As punishment, the White Sox will probably make her re-new her season tickets.

They can stay if they want. They also can go, get paid by the White Sox, and try to find a new team or take a vacation. These are either release or outright waivers.

I also think it's telling his staff is so bad, almost everyone that gets called up, with a couple of exceptions, look like they just took up playing baseball games a week ago. Clueless.

Read MLBTR, the 4 million is guaranteed if either side backs out. But these waivers are different from the old August trade waivers. If no one claims him, he can still walk and get paid by the White Sox.

Pollock said no and got his buyout. I’m sure this is the same.

They are toast. He’s a free agent. Saving so,e money and potentially a better comp pick is the clear play.

Texas needs bullpen help bad. ReyLo would be a nice pick up.

Doubt it. They would assume the contract and the $4 million buyout.

Terry Bevington arguing a call that went the Sox way was good. His calling for the left hander with no one warming up in the bullpen was great as well.

I agree. Employers have to be careful these days.

I understand their is limitations, but it's an MLB GM job. Only 30 of those in the world. Rosenthal worte after speaking with 5 execs that it's attractive because you won't get fired, are in an awful divison, and really should have more resources available than anyone else in the division. Just about every owner mettles.
