The White Sox made their best decision in over two decades by dismissing their EVP and GM. But there's reason for skepticism as long as Jerry Reinsdorf is at the helm.
onto the turf and into an abyss of memes. The Hahn/Williams organization had reached its final form, a franchise often referenced by others around the game as a prime example of disorganization and disarray.
And for whatever reason, it all became too much for Reinsdorf, who bid farewell to what had previously been the second-longest tenured front office in baseball. But, why now? What in the last month convinced Reinsdorf to pull the plug after over two decades of commitment? And why in the world was the Hahn/Williams duo allowed to oversee the recent trade deadline — an absolutely vital moment in determining the club's future — if they were deemed unfit just three weeks later?
These are questions that only Reinsdorf himself can answer, and considering how reclusive the Chicago sports tycoon has been throughout his various ownership tenures, it's unlikely fans receive much transparency any time soon, if ever. And while White Sox faithful appear to be celebrating Tuesday's stunning turn of events, there's reason for skepticism as long as Reinsdorf remains at the helm.Chicago's front office is generally considered outdated and behind the times.
While Getz is relatively well-regarded in the industry, his hiring would represent stasis, more of the same, a fealty to the same processes that put Chicago in such an undesirable position to begin with. Even the most talented baseball executive can do only so much if they are hamstrung by a miserly or over-involved ownership group.
