Fans of the Chicago White Sox just want to know one thing about the team that they exhaust emotional and financial investments into: when owner Jerry Reinsdorf will sell the team. Fans know the answer to this is likely never. Until it does happen, fans will treat the team with disdain and think twice before getting too excited.

The White Sox made the smart move to ditch the front-office setup they have had for decades after a woefully disappointing season exposing the horrible state of the organization. But the new general manager they decided on, Chris Getz, was already a part of the organization, first as a player in the mid-to-late 2000s and later as a front-office member. The last thing any fans wanted was a new head honcho that is being promoted from the same organization that drives them up the wall.

The post on the website formerly known as Twitter announcing Getz as the new GM has been ratioed into oblivion by angry fans and baseball fans of other teams who are incredulous at how much of a joke the White Sox are.

Fans are more fed up than ever with the White Sox and Reinsdorf, who has previously shown a level of favoritism and nepotistic hiring practices with the other team he owns, the Chicago Bulls. As long as he remains in charge, fans will not be pleased.

“Jerry's “loyalty” is just the intersection of his laziness and cheapness. Chris Getz got the job because promoting him was easier and less expensive than finding someone else. Whatever “competiveness” Reinsdorf once had was replaced by convenience long ago,” wrote SB Nation's Ricky O'Donnell.

“It's sad to realize that a team that once meant so much to my family is now just an afterthought. Maybe the excitement will return some day, but I sincerely doubt that happens until there is new ownership that actually gives the fans a reason to care,” wrote Adam Hoge of CHGO Sports.

The White Sox have tons of talent in MVP candidate Luis Robert Jr., 2022 Cy Young runner-up Dylan Cease and prospect Colson Montgomery. Fans will surely hope they do well. But the organization overall is only entrenching itself further as the bane in the existence of fans.
