With the fear of the same cast not being there next season. All it takes is for a player to want a contract extension or use Boras and Getz will get back to making Birmingham better or trying to improve good farm system rejects. The issue is trust, not victories. We know how this plays out.

I am. The only interest in this team is the drama.

How will that be measured? I think Reinsdorf has no credibility left. Fans want him hone more than anything else. If the won 100 games next year it wont change because he has a history of ruining success. #FindANewTeam

The only plan in this organization is to suck at baseball and destroy a fanbase. The latter is what Reinsdorf is consistent at.

Let me know when you walk in those shoes. I don't think it's as easy as we think.

To me it seems like he had a boss that didn't listen. That's why JR hired Getz. He didn't want to hear the faults interviewing others.

I'll never know unless I walked in those shoes. Ng is the only one I know of that walked away from a Reinsdorf type situation. What's odd is former execs don't seem to get hired.

Long ago there was an article the he was highly paid as an Ass't GM. Reinsdorf didn't want to lose him to a GM job. Unfortunately you can't predict injury. We like to blame the players or conditioning but yet those teams that are better still have injuries. No serious prospects were given up at the trade deadline. My theory is farms are more valuable in filling in for injured players. The Dodgers go through their share of injuries and still remain on top. Unfortunately that becomes a wall in the post season. When I think of Moncada he is just a victim of bad health. Some of these injuries will keep you from a good player. How many can remember the player Greg Walker was going to be until he got hepatitis. But most of the draft picks have been in the WTF category. They need to hit on a Witt Jr type player. But Reinsdorf won't pay him and Getz will trade him to make Birmingham better. I'm not sure Vargas could make it in Birmingham.

It's what we already know. It just needed to be revealed on planet Earth,

Can't see why they wouldn't. Just new ownership alone will bring in fans. We are past success will make people forgive Reinsdorf.

Hey but the Sox pen lasted until inning 13

Somehow it's a gamble that this utopia will hide the s%*# products JR puts out. He wants a billion dollars but doesn't put any money in the team. He is not one to be trusted. If it's such a great investment he shouldn't have any problem using his own money. What billionaires do best is trying to put the risk off on the taxpayer.

They also share the same facilities. Maybe they saw something the Dodgers missed? The word on the street for GMs must be Getz can be fleeced. Schriffen on the post game said Sox should consider trades with Oakland. When has that ever worked?

Mets are almost invincible. Cubs and D'Backs took the Rockies too lightly.

This isn't the first time he's failed in the 2nd half.

I would think Cubs fans would be upset since Cease was in their system. As for Sox fans having good players = #MakeBirminghamBetter.

I'd like to see the Tigers spend money next year.

I think Getz is going to make even bigger mistakes.

Done. He's created the habitually losing small market that the previous Royals were good for.

If these owners want public funding then it needs to be performance based contracts and pay fines for not putting a good product on the field. Like payroll has to be $150M minimum. The way Jerry has destroyed a fan base in 40 years says he can no longer be trusted with tax payer money. I'm all for Jerry to leave for Nashville and if it is also taking the team so be it as long as there's no White Sox. Leave that for expansion. The only thing fans really want is Jerry out of baseball.

Now it's exclusively done by Reinsdorf

Culture - a new buzzword that no one talked about before. Good players play good baseball. The reality is if they want to improve the vague meaning of culture then they need to start with not having TLR around. The real problem that most of these psychology type solutions is they ignore the obvious. It starts with the fan base. They created a culture of the habitual losing small market franchise. I know longer can call this organization the White Sox but the Reinsdorfs. I'm all for the Reinsdorfs going to Nashville. The only change Sox fans want is ownership. Most athletes are like employees that never criticize their employer. That goes for many former athletes. We will never know the truth and that truth has to come directly from the player. I feel like an A's fan. Sure the team is still here but now it's the Chicago Reinsdorfs. The White Sox are dead.

Bernstein called them weasels. They all want to be part of JRs loyalty program, success not mandatory. BTW a lot of the business world is like this. I remeber working under bad managers and came to the reality there are 5 more that are probably worse.

That's only if they are healthy I tend to think the Crochet trade possibilities were more fiction by the media. What would the better GMs really give up at a deadline where they want to improve the current season on a pitcher who has not pitched a full season.

If that happens they most likely will end up with someone worse. Every organization has a Vargas or 2 to pawn off the Sox. Of course the Sox organizations has plenty of those anyway. The plot will be #MakeBirminghamBetter.
