Mike Rankin and James Fox make their debut on the Broadcast Basement Network by brainstorming what to expect from general manager Chris Getz as the 2023 season mercifully nears its conclusion. The show also highlighted standout performances from top White Sox prospects as they look ahead to the Arizona Fall League.

I have a few major questions.
– Who will Getz hire for his replacement as Director of Player Development (Farm Director, supposed to be minority)?
> Chaim Bloom want a year or 2 pillow deal to be Director of Minor League Operations
– Will there be changes at the International Scouting level?
> Marco Paddy new focus?
> Hire someone like former Nationals AGM/International Scouting Director Johnny DiPuglia (minority)
> Renewed focus on Pacific Rim
– What does the Major (and Minor) League Coaching Staff look like:
> Who remains and who is replaced?
> Do they add more uniformed coaches
> Do they ever expand Minor League Coaching staffs?
– Do they continue to expand R&D, Analysts, Biomechanics ect.?
> Sam Mondry-Cohen and Geoff Head were guys mentioned in the last offseason as hires.
> Additional Staff additions in last 18 months
> Maybe a huge hire like Scott Powers for Director of Quantitative Analysis
Well we got a bit of an idea with 3 new hires…
