Um, “I can’t even remember any moves made by Hahn at the deadline” sorta implies that he’s regularly failing at the deadline.

If there’s complacency, it is starting with whoever is making personnel decisions.

This game would have ended in the 9th without Engel and Hamilton in the OF.

Really he gets the cooler for that?

Are they not in the park? He said they’re a couple states away?

Nice move Tim btw

Ok he’s out as long as replay doesn’t make a huge error

Oh for crying out loud

Wait…Rick Hahn is here???

Jesus. The Royals win that game if they didn’t make the defensive replacements

Phooey

Given that Gallo didn’t return a top prospect, Escobar returned nothing, I don’t see what would motivate Torotno to move him.

Yes. I have to sign a 5th starter next year and find a reliever and my dominant roster is set for 2 years.

Imagine if I told you yesterday the white Sox were going to get Escobar and Gallo without giving up Kelley or anyone on the hit league roster (no Robert either just to avoid that loophole). Wouldn’t you be in? For almost whatever it takes?

I don’t see why we couldn’t have pulled off something like this if we wanted to.

Narrator: “they did not.”

Ok, when I said I didn’t see how the white Sox could get him without Crochet or Vaughn going I did not think of “send 6 prospects” as an option.

So literally a downgrade from what they just passed on?

Yup. And letting a fine player go to Milwaukee for nothing just in case you get that done = passing on a good deal to hope for a perfect one.

Curious to see the return

Find a better combination of performance this year and low price to get him then the Escobar deal?

Letting Escobar go for nothing on the chance you might get a guy who can be better but has major concerns right now: Great example of letting perfect be the enemy if the good.

Reinsdorf just invited Nightengale for story time, milk, and cookies after deciding that Escobar’s salary was too expensive and it became this tweet.

But what was his twtw?
