nope, sorry guys, an eyeball tweet was posted, it means a trade is coming.

yes, this is likely sarcastic, but I am contractually obligated to post it.

listen guys, nobody hates this stuff more than me. But here is some dumb shit to make us silly

Is the rebuild salvageable?
I think it was over the minute they lost out on Wheeler. Hahn pivots as well as a semi.

Is the rebuild salvageable?
oh my god, this is exactly it. It's like Hahn had a dream of fielding a team of Billy Butlers. I think it's just a repercussion of Hahn's whiz kids trying to recreate the Houston Astros low K rate, but trying to do it by signing Josh Harrisons and thus ending up as this groundball hitting machine team. But we all know, if there is a soxfest, and if hahn is there to speak, he will mention how they are top five in k rate. But the other part of it is trying to get a team with more power they always go cheap and get "discounts" on older DH types. Their power diminishes along with their fielding, and we can't get rid of them. But, there is also a real PD/coaching issue with Eloy/Moncada/Vaughn/etc. These are guys that hit the shit out of the ball. They really should see if they can up the launch angle and get more power. TA can be TA. but anyway this team sucks.

Cards acquire Quintana
Lol Hahn coming to grips with what he has wrought. I’m sure his budget has not increased, he has no farm to sell, and his team has too many issues to prioritize. Just at home, coddling his many degrees.

Reese McGuire (+ Taylor Broadway) to Red Sox for LHRP Jake Diekman
I don’t really like this. Just add it to the dead money list. Katz basically has to save Hahns ass so he can trade him this offseason or else you are DFAing another $3 mil

Rick Hahn and the $50 million bullpen (that sucks)

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.

I’m sure it’s likely a lot of extremely dumb outfield play- Trade Rumors Catch-all
With Robert mysteriously dying I feel like laureano to Sox more likely- Yankees get Montas, Trivino from OAK
oakland loves yankee prospects despite always being the one group that never pans out for them.- 08/01 - Royals @ White Sox, 7:10 PM CT
Man the guy did a rehab assignment, comes up and still is out? This sucks.- White Sox tried to trade for Ohtani
I'm on the flip side here, I'm glad they tried to trade for ohtani. The angels did not trade ohtani, and that sucks. But the sox were 'sposeda use the benefit of having a young, cost-controlled core to allow big game hunting. Instead they splurged comfortably on depth and bullpen and are still starving for more depth and bullpen.- White Sox tried to trade for Ohtani
I think it's worse than that. I think sox start at "what are we willing to give up this offseason/deadline", then just shop that around until they find a match. Whatever this aggressive package was...I'm sure it will be the seeds of the next deal for a guy 50% as good.- White Sox tried to trade for Ohtani
lori will offer him soldier field this time thou.- 8/1 Games
Ryan Burrows, 17 y.o., first year in DSL .300/.423/.458 with 3 homers. 17% k rate, .158 iso (yeah I did the math). Both really nice for a 17 year old.- 8/1 Games
Ryan Burrowes 3-4 again. Hubba hubba @oldsox - 8/1 Games
