I really doubt JR hires a President of Baseball Operations. He refused to give KW that title.

If it all went down like Bob reported, neither KW or RH had an inkling their job was on the line. They will be able to tell their grand kids one day they were so bad, they got fired by Jerry Reinsdorf.

If Tony is consulting, maybe he can get Dave Stewart to GM again. They teamed up to do wonders in AZ.

Someone on Twitter posted since 2000 the Royals have the worst winning percentage in baseball. So the Sox load up on their guys. So excited yesterday, so disheartened today.

On the bright side, if Getz is the GM, he won't be in development anymore. That's a positive.

I'd go with Randy Flores assitant GM with the Cardinals. He has helped draft and develop a lot of players, and he doesn't have to have a top 4 pick to do so.

According to the Rosenthal column, most execs he spoke to consider it a sleeping giant, and one of the better GM jobs in baseball. You have to try to get fired. You play in the worst division in baseball. And you can outspend everyone in your division.

The press release says single hire. Moore and Getz, while probably net zero or negative, still is two.

He lost weight and he quit coloring his hair.

I was so excited. Now i feel like I did when they brought back LaRussa.

He has but not much. 3 winning seasons as a GM/President from2007-2022. 9 times lost at least 90.

At least I was able to go to sleep last night excited. Now gone. No vision .

What could go wrong/ Dayton Moore was fired by the Royals. Getz has developed no one. Salvy Perez is catching next year isn't he?

If accurate, OMG.

Now Rick can go get killed playing fantasy baseball.

Yeah so,eome needs to do the token GM stuff now. Once a new guy is in place, he or she will want their people. That’s when hopefully the vast majority of the remaining dopes are flushed. That’s for Pedro.

I would be more stunned if Getz gets the job than I am with the moves today. You don’t clean house only to hire in house. Especially with a guy that has been questionable in his job at best. Ultimately JR made this decision , but someone convinced him this was the move to make. I wonder who it was. Other investors? Hawk? LaRussa? His son? Steve Stone? It was someone.

Pedro can go back to KC with Matt Nagy.

He is safe for now. JR didn’t want to pay another intern guy. But keep in mind, there was a report not too long ago where JR didn’t seem too enamored with Pedro. Certainly not at the level that Hahn and KW were. Ultimately the new GM decides who the manager is. I like Randy Flores for the job. He can draft. If the Sox can start drafting correctly and actually he very good at it, that will lead to sustained success. Hahn has a lot of time now to find a parade.

I really don’t see how they possibly can go internal. The guy on channel 2 said they will have this singular position filled by the end of the season.

I think that was the ticket, so JR gets make it look like he was fired. He’s still paying him, obviously. And firing Hahn without firing KW makes no sense.

The Orioles and Brewers have also threatened to move to Nashville. JR will be the 3rd banana. Sounds about right.

That's the thing. Oaklands situation wasn't because the team sucked. Montreal wasn't because the team always sucked. Tampa isn't because the team always sucks. Wouldn't MLB tell JR, why don't you try putting a good team on the field at least semi consistently then tell us Chicago cannot support you.

There was a better chance of the Cubs moving to Rosemont, like they threatened, but didn't do and didn't get anything, than the Sox moving to Nashville in the next decade.

At the very least, I'm sure JR would like a lease extension continuing his sweetheart deal for many years, with the city/state agreeing to hundreds of millions of upgrades.
