We just found $50,000,000 for Chris Getz to spend AFTER Jerry Reinsdorf reduces the White Sox to the bottom five in payroll next season. How did we do it? We just followed the blueprint of bottom-feeding MLB franchises and did some simple math. Time for the White Sox GM to prove he can do his job.

Chris Getz spoke. He probably shouldn't do that. We ask how one of the dealers could be confused by the cards he was dealt this season. Our suggestion is the next time he speaks, it should be with honesty. As the White Sox march to historic losing records, where is the professional pride?

Forget the team being terrible for a minute. The White Sox have other issues when it comes to fan experience. We look at everything from the play-by-play guy who talks down at fans to how they program content. Every White Sox fan has ideas for the stadium fan experience. So, why don't they listen?

The 2024 White Sox are the worst baseball team you have ever seen. We would rather talk about the 2025 White Sox, who better not be this bad. They don't have to be. It all depends on the front office being smarter this off-season...and ruthless.
