Hopefully the first of many long overdue firings in the organization.

Whoever is in charge of position player development in the minors desperately needs to be shitcanned. Or perhaps that person doesn't exist which would explain a lot as well.

It continues to be one of those things where sox and bulls fans continue to be right and right early, the organizations continue to call them bloodthirsty and stupid fans, and then after dozens (in this case, literally 100) of pointless losses later where we learn nothing about them we didn't already know, they fire them, or trade them, orDFA them.

JR: Already taken care of.

I don't think anyone is going to defend Grifol as a legitimate manager, but this problem starts at the top. How can Reinsdorf promote his minor league talent development guy (Getz) for a team that hasn't really developed much outside of some pitching, mainly left handed starting pitchers? This roster is atrocious. Even the minor league talent, while improving on paper, appears somewhat top heavy and won't be enough to win with without spending money.

Unless the White Sox are willing to spend money AND develop a minor league system, we'll be firing the next manager in 2 years and complaining about how awful this person is.

If the White Sox were serious about putting together a competitive team, why trade Crochet for minor league talent? They can start next season (or early in) with Crochet, Schultz, Thorpe and Cannon. That is a reason for hope, but unfortunately, we know the clock is ticking on any pitcher who may have market value.

They probably will have Montgomery/Quero in the majors next season. Why not complement them, Robert/Vaughn (for now) with 2-3 significant talent upgrades?

I don't want to hear about this team developing talent and winning the "right away". If they can't commit to spending on this team and keeping their current talent, nothing will change.

The Score is already ripping the Sox on how they didn’t even announce an interim manager in the “Grifol dismissed” press release.

They are still trying to convince some former player who is sitting on his couch I'm guessing (like Robin)

The problem does start at the top.  JR is the biggest issue in the organization.  

If he truly wanted to win, he would fire Getz this off-season.  Getz hired Grifol.  This was his guy.  Hold him accountable for the hire and for his horrible off-season and trade deadline moves.  

But we know it's not going to happen.
