soxfaninfl Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Just a tone deaf response by JR.. Been a Sox fan for a long time. Been through a lot of losing seasons. Why does this year seem to be the worst? Why do I care as much as I do? I certainly seem to care more than I did years ago. The Sox used to lose and I would shrug and say, hey, we suck but it’s baseball and it’s fun. This year is just an embarrassment on some many levels.

HOFHurt35 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Now is the time you make a point White Sox fans. Enough with the Twitter warriors. Make it hurt.

chetkincaid Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 So if they have a press conference introducing Getz, who's going to introduce him? We all know Reinsdorf won't dare face the media and Getz is the number 2 guy in the organization now, so will he be introduced by a subordinate?

This was already expected 2 weeks ago. It sucks, move on. Until Reinsdorf sells or dies, only "YES" men will get high profile jobs on this team. They couldn't control Ozzie's mouth, so he got canned. That would be the last hire (a person with a pulse) like that. Expand I agree with everything except Ozzie got canned because of his mouth. Ozzie quit on the team. Ozzie took a different job.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Welp. This’ll be the 3rd straight season I don’t watch baseball. Won’t watch the Sox til Jerry is gone. Classic trash Sox move.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I have an issue with Chris Getz's title. Giving him the GM title as the lead decision maker is a mistake imo. It doesn't let you poach from other orgs. If he were given the title of President of Baseball OPS, you could then hire a GM from somewhere and inflate the title to get another smart person in the org. Carter Hawkins isn't in charge of baseball ops but the Cubs were able to take him by elevating his title essentially. It's happened all over the sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The logic of this hire is mindboggling to me. If Getz being the GM was the fastest way to perennial success like JR says in the press release, why wasn't he moved into this role a lot sooner? Failed lackies from a failed regime will keep failing. Enjoy your laughingstock status JR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter Hawkins isn't in charge of baseball ops but the Cubs were able to take him by elevating his title essentially. It's happened all over the sport. Expand It's a positive in Jerry's mind. He created the EVP position not for strategic planning or organization management but rather as a result of the blowup of Ozzie vs. Kenny in 2012 and to keep "his son" and his friend's son on the payroll. Also, Jerry has no interest of poaching anyone from any external organization as the Chris Getz hire proves, and also has no interest in other teams poaching his staff, as proved by the blocking of Kenny and Rick and likely others to pursue external opportunities. Someone needs to challenge baseball's anti-trust exemption to break these unfair labor rules. People should be able to get a job with any organization they are qualified, be it a minor league player trying to avoid Jerry's mandated covid jab, or a front office person looking to leave a toxic organization like the White Sox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
