    Fire Rick Hahn

    Personally I think the only way anyone gets fired is if attendance and true season ticket holders drop significantly. Their brand takes a hit in the general public.  The true diehards have known the teams' antics for years but the mainstream casual fan is now seeing terrible results and if they stay home in the summer or the sox are not exciting to watch attendance drops, tv ratings drop and radio ratings drop, that's how JR gets embarrassed. The problem is they will just look internal to pitch their problems, right now the Bears are doing it right , rebuild with a whole new organization that creates some excitement and buzz around a team. Fans want to see hope and entertainment from true stars of the game.

    Yikes. In this market and giving up a draft pick?

    Yea right? I really can’t see it .makes no sense and if the padres are involved we have no shot anyway.it’s almost like this was planted by the FO to say we tried but never materialized .

    Yup, his ISO was .099 after August 1st and his wRC+ during this stretch was definitely propped up by an abnormally high BABIP.  Could just be a rough stretch power wise, but I’m not sure I’d be overly excited committing to him for the next three years during his age 37 to 39 seasons.

    Could also be a shitty hitting coach. I will miss abreu digging all crap throws of the great Moncada think about those errors next year. He will be missed as a leader and a guy that plays everyday, unlike the rest of this core.

    Those Ozzie Sunday lineups were horrible to watch. I am not sure you change an 80 year old owners mind on how he runs a team. This org is the way it is until JR passes. I don’t wish death upon anyone and won’t, for the meantime this is your Whitesox unfortunately.

    No Soxfest in 2023

    Besides being a huge bust in 2022, the other thing this signals is not a lot of popular moves coming between now and the end of January. I doubt a huge sell-off, but Abreu will be gone and probably at least one or two others, and their replacements won't initially have you thinking playoffs.

    This is a really good observation that nothing big will happen in the offseason to dramatically improve this club. Its really a shame that they let this slip out of their hands. I can’t see any fan trusting this management to do anything right .

    Long Term Contracts

    The White Sox have signed some of their players to long term contracts with mixed results.  I can't help but wonder if Hahn is going to try and sign Cease and Vaughn to long term contracts. Also. Cueto is a free agent at the end of the season. Is Hahn going to sign and bring back Cueto?

    Cease has Boris so that won’t happen and to sign Vaughn you would need to give him the starting first base job. Just my opinion.

    A player like Soto is going to cut into a team's top 10 prospects.

    Yes I understand that, I just didn’t know how many of them were in their top ten. I figured a couple but didn’t realize all four. Thanks though I appreciate everyone responding, I am doing this at work and came over here once the deal was announced.

    The downside to this move is if Bummer comes back it probably pushes Banks down to AAA when Banks has been considerably better than Diekman this year.

    I think it’s more bummer doesn’t come back and goes under the knife.

    I get it but I'm getting sick of seeing "bat first" catchers who end up hitting .200 in the big leagues while not being able to call a game or handle a pitching staff.  I'm all for a lock down defensive catcher who will also occasionally knock the ball out of the yard. 

    Like a Ron karkovice?
