Texsox Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 5 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: Of course not, and if you think Garrett Crochet is only worth as much as Trevor Rogers, I’m not sure what to say. But just because a better package of players than Norby and Stowers wasn’t traded for a starting pitcher doesn’t mean a better offer wasn’t on the table for Crochet. The offers for Crochet were no doubt better than Norby and Stowers, but they still weren’t likely good enough. Do you really think when Crochet is ultimately traded, likely in the offseason, the Sox aren’t going to get a better package than Norby and Stowers? I think this year buying teams valued their prospects more than most years. I didn't see any players moving that I would have taken for Crochet. Like many people here I'm expecting him to fade hard and possibly spend some time on the IR. What that does to his value will depend on exactly what happens. My other guess is all the reasons we wanted him moved are the reasons other GMs weren't lined up giving away top 100 guys. Unfortunately the only person that really matters in judging him is JR. Equally unfortunate is we don't know what criteria JR had for him. Maybe JR have him a warning, maybe he gave him a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Getz took a 100 loss team and somehow made it the worst in modern baseball history. Any semi-conscious owner would fire this clown at the end of the season, but alas this is just year one of a 10 journey with Getzy assuming Jerry lives that long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who was automatically and undeservedly promoted to GM of this team by a terrible owner is the worst GM in baseball.

Man O' Vision Chris Getz knows that had Colas and Fletcher played 81 rounds each the Socks never would have a shot at 27-84. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 It’s the butchering defense that drives home the White Sox experience when one takes the plunge of watching them play live. Routine double-play balls become multi-run-scoring errors. Soft line drives to outfielders become stand-up triples as the ball rolls to the wall. Catchers turn strikes into balls with well-below-average pitch framing and allow some of the highest stolen base totals in baseball. I do not recommend looking too closely at any given White Sox game, but the chances are overwhelming that you’ll see several of these things if you watch your favorite team play even one game against the South Siders. Big league ballplayers deserve our reverence, and even the schlubs on the White Sox are very good. But they look shockingly close to something less than a major league team. https://slate.com/culture/2024/07/baseball-chicago-white-sox-trades-worst-mlb-team-ever.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they can not unless they feel he has done something illegal or is doing something fiscally irresponsible. Even then they'd have to prove it. Get used to it, he is here and in charge until he is no longer with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I think if Jerry has any integrity, he has to fire Getz at the end of the season and hire a GM from outside the organization. He can’t wait another year or the damage may prove crippling for the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sliver of hope could be what happened in Baltimore. Peter Angelos was loathed by the O's fan base and the team sucked. New ownership has got the team back on the winning track. I am assuming MLB will want an AL franchise in Chicago if a new owner buys the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
