Getz, an MLB player from 2008 to 2014, has been in the White Sox organization since 2016.
Getz turned 40 on Wednesday. His birthday present? The job of his childhood dreams, GM of aOK, well, that’s not quite accurate. I’m sure in his boyhood days in Grosse Pointe, Mich., he imagined he would be a big-league ballplayer, which he was from 2008 to 2014. So I guess this is the job of his more recent dreams.
He’s not exactly being welcomed with a parade and flowers strewn at his feet because, for one, he’s coming in as the handpicked choice of Reinsdorf, who notoriously hates searching for executives. That’s why he usually keeps the ones he has for a decade or two. Reinsdorf’s last big decision was forcing manager Tony La Russa on his front office.
The problem was they didn’t pay off and the holes in the roster were filled by underachieving veterans. Talent development has been a major issue for the Sox for a long time. There have also been some issues with the adults in the minor leagues, like fired managers Omar Vizquel and Wes Helms. —Getz needs to get the managerial position right in the majors. Does he stick with Pedro Grifol, another ex-Royals employee? Grifol has had a miserable rookie season.
