In the least surprising and most obvious move for Jerry Reinsdorf’s clown car organization, Chris Getz was named the new senior vice president and general manager for the Chicago White Sox on Thursday morning.

Multiple reports circled around on social media Wednesday evening, and the tweet we were all awaiting with bated breath dropped early Thursday. This is what constitutes significant organizational change, and the cowardly org announced the “promotion” (?) via a press release on Twitter. Because, of course, they did. We knew there was no way JR was showing his face or even saying a single word to the media. This, sadly, is par for the course in South Side fandom nowadays.
The response from Sox fans on Twitter was about as delicious as expected:
Dear Jeff,

Please roast the entire organization. Like scorched earth. Please.
Pretty please.
The least surprising yet stupidest possible outcome ♀️ https://t.co/DJTt3NRCZD

The ratio of quote tweets to likes is crazy. Sox fans haven't been this united in a long time. https://t.co/rPSCuQA9CH

Getz pulled a Frank Underwood and got EVERYBODY ahead of him canned so he could become Sox Czar. pic.twitter.com/eYxmhdBeUR

This is my breaking point. EVERYONE IS LAUGHING AT YOU #WhiteSox ! This is the worst ran organization in all of professional sports! I hate Jerry Reinsdorf more than any other singular person, and I will be cold and in the ground before he gets a single cent from me again. https://t.co/175wABnzTH

Bad owner hires unqualified employee to run the baseball team
The #WhiteSox continue to be an unserious organization & the laughingstock of Major League Baseball https://t.co/aeMaWHRFLZ
This fucking poster makes me despise him even more. Foisting this unqualified neophyte onto a team that needs actual leadership.

We're now the Royally Fucked White Sox. Cause honestly what else is there? https://t.co/zqGdf3jqPq
If the Orioles win the World Series this year I’ll get my White Sox tattoo covered up with the Oriole bird

She’s not the only one thinking of jumping ship. This is what 40 years of Reinsdorfian ownership has done.

Pretty much.
Well, that’s it, friends. The Getz era is upon us — another unqualified Yes-man to lead your favorite team to new heights of glorious, stupefying embarrassment.
Bravo, Jerry, Bravo!
