Greg, Renteria WAS an older manager with experience and he blows. And no manager tells the front office what to do in baseball. They manage the players they are given. Leyland and LaRussa are both 74 years old.

Coop, job for life. Just like Kenny and Hahn.

The Sox will only sign Tatis when he’s 36 and washed up.

Nothing will happen. It’s a Reinsdorf-owned team. Everyone involved has jobs for life.

How dare you. Hahn spent $45 million this past offseason bringing in some amazing talent.

“You can’t spend a dollar when you only have 50 cents.” ?

Now that Renteria is making excuses, what is the horrific offense’s problem?

It’s worth a shot. Colome serves the Sox no purpose for this year or likely next year.

Hahn should. He’s the clown who built this team, not us.

You can’t spend a dollar if you only have 50 cents. ?

Even the great Brooks Boyer can’t put whipped cream on a pile of sh!t. ?

Hahn has proven he signs the wrong middle and lower tier free agents time and time again.

Machado is worth $300 million. A 33 year old scrub like Jeff Keppinger was not worth $12 million dollars. But Reinsdorf owns the Sox and Hahn is our GM.

We’ve already seen this game before. The answer is no. The list of dumpster diving free agents that Hahn has signed has been plentiful and also a waste of millions.

I agree with your premise. Guys can be successful with a 90-91 mph fastball, a variety of pitches, and really good control. However, you posted your complaint in a thread about Santana the same day gets shelled throwing 90-91 mph after not showing his usual velocity in Spring Training. In this situation, the velocity concerns were warranted and are likely part of the reason he was terrible today.

I squint my eyes and pretend Tatis Jr. is at 3B and Moncada is still playing 2B.

Do you remember what type of pitcher Santana was and what his velocity was at when he was pitching well in prior years? The guy isn’t Greg Maddux.

Fine, have it your way — the front office and ownership both suck. ?

An embarrassing offseason in which he failed to sign one of his two top targets with very little competition for their services but managed to waste $13 million on the friends and family of one of them after talking about how the Sox would be big players in free agency. Expecting the fans to be happy that the Sox were “at the table for both Machado and Harper.” Saying that “the money will be spent” without the additional qualifier that it would only be spent on players already within the organization, not premier free agents. Spending $45 million total on junk this past offseason. The Shields trade has also aged hilariously bad.

This comment aged about as well as Santana and his velocity. He was at 90-91 today but I’m sure it didn’t factor in. ?

He’s been the Sox GM for longer than the current rebuild period. “Rick Hahn (born March 20, 1971) is the vice president and general manager of the Chicago White Sox. Since his promotion before the 2013 season, his teams have a 419–553 record and no postseason appearances.” Rebuild or not, he’s bad.

Ervin Santana blows, so does Hahn for wasting money on him and many other reasons, the Sox are terrible, but we will have another good draft pick after this season. Did I miss anything?

3rd homer, .867 OPS

The Sox likely think, right or wrong, that they will compete next year with Kopech returning and Cease joint the rotation. Rodon is under contract for next year and 2021. I doubt they trade him knowing this. They probably have visions of a 2020 rotation like this, with everyone panning out... Kopech Rodon Lopez Cease Giolito

It can still happen but a couple different moves (undo Shields trade and signing Harper) and this team would definitely be looking good. Imagine that lineup with Luis Robert eventually in CF.
