You nailed it. This is where the angst comes from, this is where the negativity comes from. Jerry hasn't proven he will give Hahn the resources to get the job done.

Rodon is completely unreliable. I wouldn't feel comfortable counting on him for shit. he's good when he's healthy, but he's never healthy. I'm happy for Carlos. He got his dough and I'm relieved the Sox didn't give him that deal. There's a ton of risk there.

I've given him credit for his trades of Sale, Quintana and Eaton. He did about as well as one could hope on those. Not all of those guys were going to turn into stars.

That's fair.

Some of us are jaded and know the Sox Modus Operandi.

Some of us want to actually win a WS and realize they have to beat teams that are stacked to accomplish that. The angst comes from comparing the Sox roster to that of the Dodgers.

And it's gone..... a home run. I completely agree with you.

Yep. I also know what the yiddish definition of putz is.

Hahn has always been taken to the cleaners on trades when he's been a buyer.

Schmuck: Noun. A foolish or contemptible person. Used in a sentence: Hahn is the same schmuck that traded away Tatis and a king's ransom for a bad season of Jeff Samardzija.

You do realize that some of us think that Hahn is a schmuck, right? He's the same idiot that traded Tatis and a kings ransom for a season of Jeff Samardzija.

Shhh, quit giving me hope. I hope you guys realize that the hyperbolic negativity is mostly schtick.

While I think the fans would all agree, I think the FO has other ideas.

I didn't know I was going to have to explain it. I thought it was understood. Thanks, Nintendo.... Ever since the swear filter broke, I'm not sure we can say that anymore btw. lol.

That's not what switch is.......it's when you have one thumb in your mouth and the other up your ass, and......

Hahn is sitting in his office playing switch.

Yeah they're gonna trade Vaughn for a rental.

No, I think he's wetbutt23

Never underestimate Scott Boras. Never.

What makes anyone think that the same FO that squandered Sale, Quintana and Abreu's prime could do the job this time?

If it was up to me I'd roster neither. Picking up Kimbrel's option was dumb.

Going into last year Keuchel was getting Cy Young votes. This year he's James Shields. I always thought that DK's 2020 was smoke and mirrors, but I was in the minority.

They will add but it will probably be stopgap guys like Eaton was last year. They will likely have to eat like $10M of Kimbrel's contract to move it. Nobody's buying his performance with the Cubs last year.

Same. Maybe they get Tepera, Pederson and trade too much for a 1 year rental of either Bassitt or Manaea.
