GM Change, Chicago Black Sox

Post by recte44 » Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:53 am

Kevin Chmura has let us know he's stepping down from his post as Chicago GM. He actually first let us know this earlier in the season, we convinced him to give it another shot, but the time just didn't allow for him to continue. You'll be missed Kevin.

Please welcome Renato Umali as the new GM of the Black Sox. He'll also stay on as "League Control" for the Pearls down the stretch.

Love Chicago. I'm excited for this, although I'm expecting an assassination piece coming to the Shinbum Online and the Besuboru Journal.

Wouldn't be a proper Chicago GM without assassinations.
