I don't see this as how it went down. Tony clearly needed detox and or other treatments, looked and sounded like an actual functional human being for his long final press conference. Looked barely lucid and couldn't speak even for a minute or two pre/post game while managing.
That said, he and Hahn made terrible moves together beyond the Liam signing. AJ Hinch inherited a 47-114 team from 2019 (after the 2020 fake 60 game owner scam), identified the bad players and malcontents. Into the third season, they already have passed the White Sox at the half way mark, and have a better future roster, despite the fact they have 2/3 of the payroll, with close to half going to Cabrera and Baez ($54M of $122M).
Not saying the Sox would have won the World Series, but I am saying many of the reoccurring issues here would have been corrected or these players would have been traded, and there would have been much better off-seasons the past few years going with Hinch's input over signing guys Tony remembered from 10 years ago. The Sox likely would have had legitimate contention aspirations through this year and beyond with Hinch in charge vs. the Dinosaur and Crony Boy.
