The guy on channel 2 said they will have this singular position filled by the end of the season. I’m sure they have an idea of who it will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I know little about folks out there who would be good candidates. I just hope it’s someone external and they’re given the keys. If rumors of the team being sold soon, this is a good opportunity for JR to step back and let go of the puppet strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The old guy still has a pulse. But make no mistake he is part of the problem as much as Hahn, KW and Getz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The official statement says “single decision maker” will be in place “by the end of the season.” That means no one who is currently under contract. That means either JR is thinking an internal candidate, or someone who is currently freeish like Epstein, Click, or, God forbid, TLR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no band aid big enough to fix this organization in the short term, bring someone in that can build a minor league system and identify talent. If it’s not Getz I’m curious what ancient dinosaur Jerry can dig up to do the job. I don’t have high hopes for liking the hire I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox are owned by someone else next year Is it just a coincidence that the story about the team being moved/sold happens 24 hours before both top execs are s%*# canned?

Not that they would be the hire, but who's advising Jerry? Hawk? Thome? AJ? Pat Fitzgerald? Does Jerry know enough about the game to identify the gem we need? As long as it's not internal.

hogan873 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I thought I remembered hearing Theo Epstein wanted to eventually be part of an ownership group, hire him as lord of baseball operations. Then he can buy the team in a few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 If they give the gig to Getz this is 2 steps forward, 2 steps back. If I was in charge I'd make some phone calls to Theo, Dombrowski and others and ask them what the price to come to Chicago is. If it's too high, I'd pick their brains for who they think under them is ready for a promotion. I'd then give that person carte blanche to rework the entire org, from the guy watering the field to the baseball operations department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxwinner Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 You don’t fire Kenny and rick in the middle of august if your plan is Getz and haber. There’s a reason for the timing 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I really think KW sabotaged Rick at times. I just have that gut feeling. Not defending Hahn but I feel there was a power struggle there. If not Kenny wouldn't have been shitcanned 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
