Chimpton Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 2 hours ago, Jose Abreu said: So why before the season were we told the bullsh*t that he was being hired to avoid another lost season and to compete sooner? Also what does he predict for next season? Because most people see a similar 100 loss season for 2025. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no, it's not his fault because the Sox were never able to develop depth while he was responsible for that aspect of the org. Every time he opens his mouth he makes me realize that he didn't go to Michigan to play school. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 What a F'ing Moron. Embrace the opportunity to lose games. These comments he made were some of the most assinine comments I have ever heard from a GM. Dark days will get even darker with this moron as the GM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE is the one who had a garbage trade deadline which brought back Vargas. Did he even acquire one fixture in the lineup for the future? He acquired two bums to be starters that are basically bench players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he was already involved in the organization so it's not like he didn't know what was here. I can understand an outside GM hire saying that and it making sense.

And didn't he discuss his plan with JR before being hired? I wouldn't be surprised if we lose 110 games next year should have come up in the conversation. If it did, JR's talk at the press conference announcing his hiring was full of lies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 “If I were a fan, I’d be p—-ed,” Reinsdorf said. “I’d be very angry. But at the same time, this is the first really, really bad year. We won the division in ’21, we were .500 last year. That’s nobody’s goal to be .500, but that’s still average. This is the first disaster. This is the first real disaster.” Reinsdorf, 87, made it clear he doesn’t want to go through another major overhaul after the most recent rebuild came up short. The team has a foundation in place, he said, adding: “We’re not going to take the guys that we have now and clean out and start over again." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I liked Getz's offseason strategy (considering the reduced payroll circumstances) but the execution couldn't have gone worse. They were were stuck with hoping and praying for Moncada, Eloy and Benintendi. They chose to cash out on Cease but not Robert. They could have dumped Vaughn and Sheets and replaced them off the scrap heap and chose not to. Pretty much missed on virtually every inherited player other than keeping Crochet a starter. Major Leaguers aquired: Shewmake, Lopez, Pillar, Soroka, Fedde, Flexen, Hill, DeJong, Brebbia, Fletcher, Thorpe, Maldanado, Clevinger. Obviously hit on Fedde, and DeJong was offensively all they could have hoped for (shockingly bad defensively). Otherwise incoming players ranged from underwhelming to complete trainwreck. Now the early return from the deadline could not have gone much worse. We just absolutely, positively cannot Getz and Barfield make 1 more decision for this organization. Please Jerry, hire an outsider ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) I wasn't before, but after these quotes, I am openly cheering for Chris Getz and Jerry Reinsdorf to be able to say they put together the worst MLB team of all time. I hope they embrace it. Edited September 10 by Dick Allen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
