If the Sox really do get an offer approaching what the Cards gave up for Goldy, Hahn would be negligent to not take it. With as cheap as one dimensional players on the corners are these days, trade him and go sign somebody else.

The Sox finished with the 3rd worst record in baseball in the 2nd year of a rebuild.
The Bulls currently sit with the 2nd worst record in basketball in the 2nd year of a rebuild.
The Hawks currently sit with the 3rd worst point total in hockey, but have a couple of established stars around.
Whose future would you rather have right now?
