Wait till they "prove" they are not cheap in the offseason loading up on nonsense FA's at the end of their career with name recognition.   Next offseason will be a reactionary spend on nothing.  

 

Nah, they'll break the bank on Sale after he throws like 89 mph this year.

So how unprofessional does the organization have to be to not only have one loose cannon, but to keep letting him talk to the media when there are other options who can at least spread useless BS quotes? This should literally cost them tons of money.

I like how Kenny still thinks the chance at making more money is a better contract offer than one with more guaranteed money.  The guy is an egomaniac as well — he really clicked with Harper?  Yeah, I’m sure.

I also like how Kenny admits Harper was out of the Sox range, yet Hahn kept spewing on and on all offseason about how he is not limited financially.  Two clowns who aren’t even on the same page as to what they say to the media.

Hahn, go work for a law firm.  Kenny, go to any other team and draft all the football players you want that suck at baseball.  Please leave my favorite team, both of you clowns.

Gotta admit, I was kinda mad at Machado out of pure tribalism, but after reading these quotes I don't blame him one bit and hope he does well in San Diego.

A team that tries to emotionally blackmail you by acquiring your friends and family just because they hope that they will get a discount is just disgusting.

And then they have the audacity to call you unambitious because you wouldn't agree to what is essentially a team option.

Get some competent front office guys from the A's or the Rays who know how to operate on a budget. And then with new ownership hopefully we can make some splashes here and there. That is the best case scenario for the futture of the White Sox.

You forgot the Bulls. I think the Browns will be in the playoffs next year btw.

They hired DiPodesta....got rid of the conflict between Jackson and his GM, the owner finally decided to stop intervening and let the professionals handle things.

All signs of a willingness to admit what wasn't working before needed to be thrown out.

I'll be honest, the comments by Kenny made me more mad than Harper signing elsewhere.  The Harper signing was expected...hearing such garbage from Kenny was more of a kick to the balls.

Man, yeah. This actually made my jaw drop. They are in such a bubble, and they think their fans are idiots.

And, so what will their excuse be, if and when they actually do develop some of the talent, as they approach arbitration and free agency. Maybe they'll claim that they can't spend the money to extend them, because they have to allocate the funds toward "next year's big Super Star free agent". When a loyal fan feels this much disdain for their favorite team's management, it's a very sad situation. Again, someone needs to be held accountable for this mess.

I’ll watch games because I’m an addict, but I will not attend a single game this year out of protest.  Moving to Nashville helps in that regard, but I don’t plan on giving this organization a dime of my money until next year’s SoxFest so I can simply repeat Hahn’s win loss record as GM (currently 419-553) ten times in a row before security escorts me out.

Then you can run for Congress, taking advantage of your "Joe the Plumber" moment in the spotlight.
