I wonder if the Sox would have been down in Oakland territory if Roberts hadn't been so healthy.

No it didn’t. And Minnesota didn’t even need him. And the Sox got a healthy Roberts and still lost 101, lol.

Nailed it.

I went to a bunch of Florida Gators games this year and enjoyed their ride. Wont watch but I’m happy to see in the playoffs Texas, Toronto, Tampa Bay, Florida (they’re Florida, not Miami), and Houston (always liked the Astros since the 70s).

Still fun to read through the snarky replies on this thread. True believers vs. Realville.

He is still injury prone. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him play 100 games next year. This year has been an outlier for him.

Or … move on to other teams. Fans aren’t obligated to remain loyal fans forever. When it’s stopped being a two way street take the off ramp.

He’s done a deep dive? Wasn’t the entire stated reasoning for hiring this clown that he wouldn’t need any catch up and an outside guy would have to do a deep dive? Dumpster fire.

Hopefully they will be in Nashville next time they’re competitive.

Michael Jordan was one of the worst executives to ever exist. Playing the game and evaluating the game are mutually exclusive.

More “deer caught in the headlights” than “poker face”.

You know this team has sunk really low when you’re dreaming of the glory days of the Rick Renteria era.

Also doubt that Getz is any better at evaluating talent than Hahn, aside from new contract era.

I would feel better if this headline said “The Raysation of the White Sox” or “The Astrosation of the White Sox”. Heck, even the “Twinsation” or “Cubsation” would be better than “Royalsation”. Its not 1980 anymore.

The Astros were always my favorite NL team. It’s been really hard to root then since they hired Dusty Baker.

There’s nothing in his background that leads me to the conclusion that he can find these people.

Which ones are those?

Isn’t this a rehash of KW 15 years ago?

More than Reinsdorf has in the same period.

That’s better than some of those Hahn pics. Getz will make some great memes.

Getz has no inner Roland Hemond.

Kenny maybe. I think Hahn’s only talent was signing the occasional good contract. But that suffered in recent years with Jimenez and Grandal and Benitendi being a couple good good examples of poor contracts.

It is impossible to sign premier free agents in 2023 unless you go long term. Reinsdorf has proved he will not go long term. So there will be no repeat of 1971. In fact Reinsdorf has not signed a premier free agent since 1997 and even then he got out of the last two years because he didn't want to pay them. I don't know why other teams would trade someone of value for Anderson, Moncada, and Jimenez. Maybe there are other GMs dumber than Getz. That's what you have to hope for.

A good free agent class and the Sox fortunes are mutually exclusive. They never end up in Chicago anyway. At least on the Sox.
