Once we get our season to the finish line, we’ll devote more time and begin the interview process. ‘‘It’s really about understanding what we feel is the best fit for the Chicago White Sox and finding the criteria we feel is going to make for a strong decision in the end.’’ Getz said he wants to be respectful of contending teams and doesn’t have a timeline.

Dick Allen Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 His strategy is to delay, delay, delay so he's employed longer. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 6 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: His strategy is to delay, delay, delay so he's employed longer. Definitely. He knows he’s never getting another GM job again so he has to make the most of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Yeah, that was really vague. He was asked to provide more detail later and didn't. I can excuse some of it because its not the end of the season yet, but you should still know what you want. The decision has probably been made for him already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernuke Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Willie Harris will come back to manage the Sox 20 years after winning the World Series with the team. What a feel good story it will be. We won't even notice a third straight 100 loss season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either being passed over or not actively looking to be a manager, is something JR values. Toss in JR lamenting that "letting him leave was my second biggest mistake" would be icing on the turd.
