The White Sox next acquisition will be...
Erstad:)

Successful Plan B; What’s Next?
You’re arguing that the White Sox and Hahn deserve the benefit of the doubt and patience in executing a plan. That type of response is earned over time, and it certainly hasn’t been earned by White Sox management. Until they prove otherwise I don’t believe they deserve that right. You, of course, are free to hold whatever opinion you want.

Successful Plan B; What’s Next?
Get real. Nobody actually cares about the clip, they’re just exhausted with Hahn’s failures and are expecting more of the same. And quite frankly, how can you blame fans with that attitude?

Offseason 2019-2020 MLB Catch All Thread
Hahn’s “postseason” is him standing in front of the media spouting nonsense about his vision and the long term competitive window. It’s like the nerd in high school fantasizing about the hot girl and always being left alone at the dance.

Trade Market for Starting Pitchers...
You’re proving his point, it’s been forever!
-
Trade Market for Starting Pitchers...
Hahn’s history is buying asymmetric players. He typically buys guys who have exceeded their average, and sells players likely to have a positive tail. He’d be the guy trading with Bill Belichick in the NFL. No confidence in him whatsoever trading for an established pitcher.

We will regret trading Madrigal

Successful Plan B; What’s Next?
Unless the announcement comes from the White Sox account, I don’t give a crap what any inside on twitter says. It just sets you up for disappointment if things don’t turn out.

The Myth of RIck Hahn the Closer/PPTer Extraordinaire
Hahn is the Craig Ehlo of GMs. Like MJ did to Ehlo for so many years in basketball, Hahn’s the guy that all the top GMs love to crush.

Would you trade for Mookie Betts, and what would you trade
It would be very much the White Sox to send Madrigal to Boston for a season of Betts (which wouldn’t even put us in a position to contend), just to lose him in FA. But even Hahn isn’t that stupid.

Did Abreu get a hold of Brent Seabrook’s agent?

Rick Hahn's Resume as GM
Are you a real life George Costanza?

Rick Hahn's Resume as GM
Have we ever seen rumors that he was being considered for other positions?

Rick Hahn's Resume as GM
If Hahn left the White Sox would he be considered for another MLB GM position? my answer is an unequivocal NO.

A Realistic Offseason
A realistic offseason is a handful of “C” signings. No chance on “A” targets, and unlikely on “B” names.

Sox Trade Nate Jones/INTL Slot to TEX for 2 Minor Leaguers
Why couldn't we have spent that Intl $$???

2019 MLB draft thread
Two teams cannot possibly screw it up. One maybe.

6/1 Games
Who is this Yermin Mercedes guy in Birmingham? Seems to be crushing the ball.

2019 MLB draft thread
Am I wrong to think Abrams seems like a big risk? I don’t see an elite ceiling and I see a fairly low floor
-
2019 MLB draft thread
Can’t explain why but I usually want the Sox to pick a HS player but I can’t get myself excited about Abrams

2019 MLB draft thread
Yes, Bailey is pretty good. Haven’t been overly impressed by Barger tbh.

2019 MLB draft thread
Watch Will Wilson of NC State. He’s a baller. Not a top 5 guy, but I wish we could get him in round 2

Gio Gonzalez
This has probably been talked about 10 times by now, but what’s the TL;DR version on why we don’t sign Gio?

To anyone "qutting being a Sox fan"
Exactly. I’m done being a robot and blindly enrichening Reinsdorf with no return. You’re free to do so if you want.

To anyone "qutting being a Sox fan"
You’re completely missing the point. It’s not that they missed out. It’s that they openly talked about going after the big FAs (saying they could even do two!), saying money wasn’t an object, only to find out money was an object! They then proceed to insult our intelligence with bumbling interviews from KW that contradict everything they’ve said. You’re not going to sign premium FAs as a bottom dweller by trying to get cute and save a few mil per year - period. They screwed it up. They could’ve shut their mouths and methodically went about a plan to sign a handful of tier 2 FAs instead of the Machado in laws and beer drinking buddies.
