White Sox GM job open

[Colby]

It appears that unless I hear otherwise, Rick, the current White Sox GM is going to step down given a replacement.  Current GMs eligible for the job have 72 hours to apply.

Can you share with us why he is leaving the team?

[Colby]

Perhaps my post is reactionary, but Rick told me that if there is a replacement waiting then he could resign now, but was planning to do so at the end of the season.  I'll give Rick the opportunity to give the reasons why he is leaving.

There have been some decisions made in the last 6 months that I disagree with and choose to no longer live with.
I'll finish the year but if management finds suitable replacements I'll step aside

A noble decision.  I hate to see Rick leave but I can understand why you would want to.

Approximately one more day for an internal applicant.

I for one really hate to see Rick leave. He is a pillar of this league as well as an overall excellent GM, competitor, and person. I really hope you reconsider Rick.

Gentlemen, fortunately, all of us agree that we would love for Rick to change his mind.  Unfortunately, he has not changed his mind.  I have to move on with the application process.  As Rick said, if there is a suitable replacement then he will step aside as he plans on resigning.  Seventy-two hours has passed by, so this job opening will move to the waiting list.
