I have a problem with the way he answered because they were obvious lies. It further reduces what is left of his credibility when he tells such obvious falsehoods. Things like they targeted clubhouse malcontents to trade. Things like a reliever never fell asleep. He doesn't know. Heck he didn't even know the MLB had already announced the TA decision hours prior. He is not in the clubhouse I trust the relievers version of events over his. What he should have said is I am not in the bullpen on a regular basis but grifol assured me no such situation took place. That at least would have been crediable That he talked of fixing the clubhouse that was not a focus on the post trade deadline coverage or the pre deadline coverage. He intentionally kept the public in the dark about issues in the clubhouse And on and on

One of the things that was jarring for me was Hahn speaking of waiting for MLB to make a decision on Tim Anderson when it had already been announced hours before by the MLB. Clueless til the end

Thought the same thing more importantly Tim Anderson and Grandal are still here Complete BS

Since we are all about small sample sizes the Marlins are 1-5 since the trade and now out of the wildcard. Burger has a .653 OPS as a Marlin.

Lets be honest now that Rodon has his longterm deal he never was going to stay healthy. Some players like being on the IL.

I listened to him he never really denied it happened

Who cares that this is response from someone who knows he is a deadman walking

Hahn didn't move guys to improve the clubhouse he moved guys who had value on shortterm deals to receive prospects. Tim Anderson and Grandal are still here for FFS. Flat out lie and furthermore prior to the deadline Hahn and Grifol was not talking about improving the clubhouse culture. Hahn also talked about what stays in clubhouse should stay in clubhouse. Whose interest does that silence serve? The simple answer is his own ass. We knew the performance of this team and certain players have been bad but noone knew the clubhouse was as bad as it is.

I'd rather allow a new GM to put their own guy play in place

Look I would have fired him earlier but he realistically wasn't going to be fired after 2020 or 2021 despite there being warning signs about his inability to use FA or trades to fill out the roster. So yes he fired him one year too late after he gets fired this year. He oversaw a rebuild and failed. It is time to move on

It's pointless for one he owns the team so he isn't going anywhere and two owners are very rarely heavily involved in the day to day decision making of teams. So it's wasted energy on two fronts and most importantly on the blame pie chart I'd rather blame the persons directly. Hahn should and will be fired at the end of the year. Grifol likely as well as they should be. Those two decisions will make the biggest difference along with cleaning out the clubhouse

So sorry you are in your feelings about KW and JR that the fact they have very little to do with the clubhouse bothers you. Not my problem or fault. Don't like my posts set me to ignore but I am not going anywhere.

Yankees place struggling Carlos Rodon on IL in latest setback The hamstring issue is the latest setback for Rodon, whose season was delayed by a forearm muscle strain and back discomfort. After signing a six-year, $162 million contract in the offseason, he did not make his Yankees debut until July 7. Exactly a month later, he is back on the shelf. In his six starts between IL stints, Rodon posted a 7.33 ERA with 25 strikeouts and 18 walks in 27 innings. https://nypost.com/2023/08/07/yankees-place-carlos-rodon-on-il-with-hamstring-injury/

Huh?

Come on RW and JR have nothing to do with the clubhouse. I doubt they have even talked to a majority of the players on the roster. You can criticize them for the decision to hire hahn and Grifol but the day to day decision making is on Hahn and Grifol. Also of course the players.

I don't blame KW or even JR for the culture I blame coaching, RH, and our loser clubhouse of players. They are the ones making the day to day decisions the blame ultimately falls on them

Are they going to announce they have fired themselves? Otherwise what could they say that will be remotely interesting.

He wasn't physically capable of being that guy anymore. Still his reputation is exactly what this team needed and still needs. We can't afford to have another manager who is a punching bag for this clubhouse and while getting rid of the worst offenders is important too it's much easier to fix the clubhouse by getting a manager who will hold players accountable

Did Anderson lose that one too. It's becoming more and more of an open question whether Anderson gets that option picked up

Why would he lie? And he is trashing his teammates just as much as the organization

Completely fair criticism because that is what TLR was which was too old and in too poor of health to manage. However, what TLR was 30 years ago is what this club desperately needs even moreso than an new age manager who understands analytics. Clearly the inmates have run the asylum for far too long and there is a complete lack of discipline on and off the field. We desperately need to bring in a veteran experienced manager who are going to hold these guys accountable over the course of a long season

Its funny because TLR was here everyone criticized him for being out of touch let the players play they said. Well you see what happens when you let the inmates run the aslyum. With that being said I cant and wont defend some of his managing moves but this team desperately needs a credible firm hand that is going to hold people accountable

I mean he got cancer and had a long layoff. We don't know if he still would have been able to come back regardless had they exercised more caution I mean he still could have blown out his arm. But I would have liked to find out what exactly was he pitching for this year that he needed to come back as soon as he did?

Agreed. With that being said prior to his health scare he was one of better Hahns signings.
