As I mentioned recently, the franchise is on life support. There have numerous articles lately on how bad an owner JR is, does the man have any kind of a clue, is he showing any remorse at all, does the jerk have any pride at all. If he refuses to sell then he must change his modus operandi and start spending money on free agents and bring in the best GM and field manager he can find, this OJT must stop. Im sure there isn’t one other team that would have hired Getz, this guy should resign immediately, the guy is a compete joke, a failure who is in way over his head. What other team would have hired Grifol, at least someone figured out that he was horrible. If we see a repeat of this year in 2025 the Sox probably will see the fan base dwindle down to nothing, they can then move their games out to Wintrust Field in Schaumburg where they won’t come close to filling the place up.

No, and seemingly no.

Then again, everything is fine, per his brain trust, so why should we care?

It’s not on life support, it’s in hibernation. And it will come back if the commitment is made

How will that be measured?  I think Reinsdorf has no credibility left.

Fans want him hone more than anything else.  If the won 100 games next year it wont change because he has a history of ruining success.

If the Sox won 100 games next year, the fans would be in the park

Exactly. Sox fans have always supported the team when it's worth supporting.

JR doesn't give a crap what you or any of us fans think. And we will see a repeat of this year next year because they have already told us they won't be active in FA and they are looking to cut payroll. The Athletic article made it clear that JR is stuck in the past, thinks he knows more than everyone else and is determined to do things his way. Bringing in another GM won't change a damn thing when there are still issues at the root of the organization. They don't spend money where it needs to be spent in order to have a successful organization and that won't change until there is new Ownership.
