It’s truly a shame to see how complacent he’s been with these teams. Bulls and Sox fans deserve better. I am sure he still wants to win, but his way. And he doesn’t seem like a go for the jugular kind of guy. He has his titles, and doesn’t seem to want to risk his profit for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claim theses guys get along as well as any team ever. I don’t hang out with them, as long as they aren’t wife beaters or child molestors, I would rather have 25 assholes who can play.

It’s truly a shame to see how complacent he’s been with these teams. Bulls and Sox fans deserve better. I’d be somewhat shocked if he wasn’t pissed about this Santana signing. Dude clearly has nothing and will probably be DFA within a month. They could have literally placed $4M on the pitching mound at the Rate and set it afire and gotten more value than they’ll end up getting out of Ervin. At some point those types of misses are hard to ignore. That being said, like most Reinsdord-backed front offices, they’ll simply blame the players or coaching staff and manage to survive without any real accountability.

I'm not sure what the deal is upstairs but I cannot fathom the Santana deal being "omg that's going to get Reinsdorf angry". Maybe Ricky just tells him it's all going according to plan and that's enough, maybe he's more checked out than we realize, maybe he's as greedy as people say and he's just happy with the $70 million in profits last year, whatever it is, he's been ok with them lighting money on fire way more than this. At least Santana has played. Jay hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Santana has played. Jay hasn't. The reason I say that is they had him signed to a minor league deal, watched him throughout spring training, and still decided to hand him $4M despite horrible stuff and a better in-house option already in place. Like I can’t fathom how they thought this made any sense whatsoever. I don’t know the terms of his deal, but I would have sent him to Charlotte to prove his could survive at 89-91 or simply cut him. Hahn literally just threw away $4M on a guy unlikely to survive six weeks on the roster. Just mind-boggling all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) McCann coming in with a batting avg well over .300 and ops over .900 in almost a month worth of games. Not gonna lie definitely was not expecting that from what I thought was the worst signing of the winter. Edited April 25, 2019 by Scoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey now, he's a 36 year old starter coming back from finger surgery with declining velocity. How could Hahn have known he would be meat this year? 😆 Just another $4.3 million dollars that would've been better spent burning in the fireplace and at least warming the Hahn household this past winter.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) my thoughts on a game like this (and last night).... Cease, Kopech, Lambert and Paulino are all coming quickly and will be dazzling us at the GRate soon. This is the baseball fandom equivalent to eating 3-month old frozen fishsticks you found in the back of your freezer the night before payday.
