Rick Hahn watching the waiver wire.

Here's something I've come to figure out about the Sox FO. They decide what they're willing to offer in a trade or free agent signing instead of offering what it takes to get the deal done. They'll say we'll offer you this and when it gets turned down they'll say oh well we tried. They want deals on their own terms and aren't willing to do whatever it takes to get it done. This "strategy" is one of the main reasons why they're fighting for their playoff lives instead of being one of the best teams in the league in year thousand of the damn rebuild.

Congrats to Seby. That is a hell of an accomplishment to keep at it and outright win a job like this. He’s improved a lot.

The Sox have 7 guys getting regular playing time with negative offensive fWar : Harrison, Engel, Moncada,Pollock , Grandal, Sheets and Garcia

The White Sox get a left hander The Red Sox get a guy with a real strong right hand

Team full of assholes

So basically all of the holes Hahn failed to address in the off-season he will magically fill now, with inflated prices and less means to add. Cool.

That team was much more fun to watch. Just didn't have a fifth starter and Loiaza came apart down the stretch.

Most frustrating offense since 2003

This is one of the most putrid offenses I've ever watched. Nine fucking singles. How does Menenchino still have a job? Only with this organization... HIT HOME RUNS YOU USELESS ASSHOLES!

Figured this needed to be bumped.

It’s quite pathetic that Hahn’s two big FA signings were unplayable for half their contracts

The fucker was falling asleep when the game started. So damn embarrassing

Imagine wearing that stupid yellow M&M jacket on a hot night. What a jagoff.

When you can’t score a lot of runs, every game is tough. Of course Menechino should be fired but Hahn needs his scapegoat after the season.

You know our trade deadline is going well when we are debating whether or not our latest acquisition is an improvement over Tanner Banks.

Beat it Reese.

McGuire traded for someone named Diekman. That joke writes itself.

"Getting Vince back is like a massive deadline acquisition for us"

ATTEMPTED TRADE

if the sox ever blow past $100 million for a player it will absolutely be for one that is a DH.

Caulfield is pumped

It was over when they hired TLR.

We continue to be "the easiest part of the schedule", for everyone else.

The only move made so far is one that pretty much guarantees that Grandal gets more playing time. Does Rick Hahn even watch these games?

Who?

What’s sad is you’re not being over the top here, it’s literally what’s happening.

At this point the only difference between the 2 is diaper size

Prick to be named later?

McGuire was about to be DFA, so getting someone with a positive WAR is a win.

Sometimes hahn does stuff that only a car wash attendant would contenplate

Can you aggressively do nothing?

I’m sure it’s likely a lot of extremely dumb outfield play

I’m always amazed this site is free. With this kind of scouting report, I don’t know we aren’t charging for this kind of spot-on analysis.

I frankly am hoping they do. I'd love to see the Twins blow a good chunk of their prospect capital chasing this season.

Sort of sad to see the O's subtract.

How much did the Sox FO slip to Heyman for this good PR?

So you want credit for the Sox having a seat at the table? Ok Rick.

Rick Hahn gets brownie points for giving it the ‘ol college try. Funny I got hammered for that when we were sort of in on him and not Soto. Scary to be thinking along with Rick Hahn. That’s not a good thing usually. Compare the number of pages in the respective threads. Granted, the national story broke first with the Soto extension rejected whereas the possibility of Ohtani going is relatively recent.

I would add Mieses to that list, but as has already been pointed out, there's so much filler on the Sox 40 man, I don't think this should be their primary concern. Off the top of my head, Abreu, Cueto, Velasquez, Engel, and Harrison are all free agents at the end of the year. Aybar, Crick, Foster, Severino, Sousa, Stiever, McGuire, Romy Gonzalez, and Haseley are all cuttable. That's 12 guys. Our farm system isn't good enough to need to protect 12 guys.

I’ve been saying it for a while now, but Ramos is going to start cracking top 100 lists by the end of the year. Fangraphs had him as our #1 prospect entering the season and now has him only behind Montgomery (ranked #81 overall) in their latest update. Baseball America has him #2 in their mid-season update as well. I think if Colas continues to hit well in AA, he’ll jump onto most top 100 lists and will likely be viewed as the consensus #2 prospect in the system. Still, three top 100 caliber prospects is a massive improvement from where we were entering the season.

Bryan Ramos also got some love as an honorable mention. 60 names were ranked & 10 honorable mentions. That would lead me to think he would be on a Top 100 if Law expanded it out that far.

Another indictment of Hahn’s utter failure building the roster.

If I were to channel the white Sox ethos it to me points to JD Martinez, Matt Moore, Quintana.

After no moves are made Rick Hahn will have a presser soon stating that he didn’t want to mortgage the future and jeapordize the competitive window to be short sighted in trying to win now or some bs like that.

Does he know Oscar Colas or Hector Gomez?

Removed @Chicago White SoxS reply because when placed next to each other you can see how caulfield is arguing against himself.

We would be 10 wins better without TLR!
