most people who wear Sox hats aren't fans of the team so that wouldn't change

There are so many similarities between Reinsdorf and Al Haymon.

you think Getz is gonna hire a bunch of player development gurus, scouts, etc from successful teams like TB/LAD/BAL, etc? Sox need a total overhaul in a lot of areas outside of the major league ballclub, such as Analytics, Player Dev, Scouting. They don't even have a successful organization-wide philosophy on how to win at all levels If Getz doesn't bring in outside help from successful teams, then you aren't going to see any meaningful change at any level. It wasn't just KW/Hahn being bad at their jobs, it was also a failed top down approach on how to achieve long term success Hahn felt you could just draft consensus top players and throw them into the farm system and they'll all eventually turn into all stars

the official white Sox Twitter thread is getting ratio'd to the netherrealm

the orioles are so fun to watch right now, I've never seen a Sox team play baseball like that

The only possible way Getz getting the job would be OK is if the plan was to sell the team SOON (next 1-3 yrs) and Getz is just an empty placeholder until the new ownership puts their own people in

did you guys seriously spend 3 days thinking it would be anything other than JR being JR Sox are done as a franchise until Reinsdorf literally croaks

100% Something wrong with that dude, either mechanics (which his OG highschool coach couldn't even fix), or his stuff has permanently deteriorated

doing the same thing as before will get you the same result Getz/Moore are yes men for JR. That's why they're the front runners

it's gonna be Moore and Getz, if you're holding out for actual change , prepare to be disappointed Reinsdorf has shown all of us what his priorities are, and installing puppets into the FO comes first, don't expect that to change now

it's Getz and Moore There's a reason it was announced the day of the firing that Grifol was safe for 2024: it's because they'd already spoken with the new GM and made it official in advance The only reason KW and Hahn were fired was to virtue signal to the fan base that they're doing something different, when in reality they aren't changing anything at all, not a damn thing that would be considered a structural or philosophical change Hopefully Sox fans aren't so naive to buy into this nonsense, I'm not

?

Or just turn off JavaScript until you're done reading the article.

AJ and Ken R. are convinced it's Getz and Moore If that's true, buh bye

Great fucking information here, fast forward to about 5 min

you think Hahn or KW is leaking bullshit to Bob?

I had an irrational love for wanting to watch him play defense and run the bases

sure but that's why you let Kaplan talk for you, optics is everything for these high profile industry positions there are certain things you can't say/do, that's all how many people at that level have you seen rip JR publicly? there's a reason

fwiw

Yeah but Rick probably wants to work again and pissing off one of the 500 most powerful people in America probably isn't the wisest move

Why did Bob report that they were installing someone by the end of the year (this was yesterday) And the very next day suggests that theyve already decided who they're picking like wtf?

With a competent GM, with the money the Sox have spent over the last 7 years, they would be close to what the Braves are imo, but a structure needs to be built from the ground and that was never done, not in my lifetime Hahn was so unqualified for this and so was Kenny.
