Sounds like they're promoting from within and hiring some KC Royals exec. Jerry Reinsdorf needs to sell.

Good news is that we're hiring Chris Getz, who's been running our [checks notes] farm system for the last five years or so.
Goddammit.
So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.

I don't know why I'm so pissed off about something everyone saw coming. But I am. 40% of this city's major sports teams are being held hostage by an elderly idiot who's too stupid to learn from his failures or his successes.

I feel for Sox fans. I used to be a bitter Cubs asshole who enjoyed the White Sox misfortunes, but after 20+ years of Reinsdorf self-sabotaging the Bulls and White Sox with his cronyism, it's now just sad. The White Sox being discussed as relocated? Seriously? Heritage franchise of the sport and they're thinking Nashville??!
Nothing against Nashville, but come the hell on.

Listening to Getz' on WSCR, the guy sounds like he's in way, way, way over his head. This is a disaster.

wonder how much influence idiot assed caveman LaRussa had in trading Dylan Cease to San Diego for basically nothing?
Reporter : "Cease was a solid innings grinding part of the Sox rotation, so why would he be traded rather than accepted as a building block?"
LaRussa : "He simply doesn't look like the pitcher he needs to be. I don't like that moustache."
Reporter : "um ......
