Can I start to be optimistic yet? Are they actually going to interview and maybe even hire an external candidate that somehow doesn't have the White Sox stench on them? Maybe cautiously optimistic at best, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This organization deserves no sympathy but the local media seemed to jump to a lot of conclusions because it's en vogue to burry and beat on the White Sox (All deserved). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like that was always the plan and Getz will certainly be in the mix. I think some got out a little over their skis on this one (shocking I know). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about Moore, but based on what I've read on this board, I'm glad to hear he will probably not be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the quote by JR something to the effect of "one decision-maker?" It sounded like the GM would be the President of Baseball Operations.

I was hoping that it would be a President of Baseball Ops who would then have the autonomy to hire (or not hire) a GM and construct the front office however they see fit.

Quin Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 7 minutes ago, DirtySox said: Opens Wikipedia Second Paragraph Quote He started in baseball as an intern with the Chicago White Sox while a junior at DePaul University and was eventually promoted to Assistant General Manager.[2] After almost 20 years, Evans resigned from the White Sox following the 2000 season. During his tenure, he was responsible for drafting or acquiring future Hall of Famer Frank Thomas, Tom Seaver, Robin Ventura, Paul Konerko, and Bo Jackson, among others. FWIW, his Dodgers tenure was 2001-2004. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Looking outside the organization for an outside perspective from a guy who spent 20 years in the organization (20 years ago)and hasn’t been in the MLB for quite a while (his wiki doesn’t have recent employment seems like the last job he had was in the Northern Independent League 10 years ago) hey yea that doesn’t sound like anything we have done before 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Evans was Hahn pre-Hahn. Didn't want to play second fiddle to KW and left. Seems to have never really recovered and succeed like many other White Sox folks that find greener pastures. I recalled thinking I wanted him over KW.

TheBooneLoganEra Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I always liked Dan Evans. He's been away long enough maybe he can provide some Intel from outside the organization. Like that he's been scouting. Better than nothing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Reinsdorf and the McCaskeys have owned their teams forever and have ZERO connections in their respective sports. It's crazy how they struggle to find people outside their comfort zone to hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Dan Evans at least USED to be really highly connected in the NPB world, so I’d wholly support him for two reasons: (1) he doesn’t already work for the white sox, and (2) maybe I’ll finally get to root for an NPB star as a white sox player. Makes years-long playoff droughts slightly nicer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
