I’m not buying that KW is taking the lead here. If he was, he’d be talking to a lot of teams and it would leak IMO. Besides, Hahn has been hiding behind decisions being collective. They all have to go. Trade the free agents to be. Leave the others to someone who may be competent. it just amazes me no one has lost their job yet. It’s beyond crazy.

If I am the Sox GM, Gio is going to go, I don’t think he can improve his attractiveness with a really good start. So I don’t risk disaster. If he isn’t traded by his next start, I would skip him.

He also was unable to do anything significant the winter before or the winter after, yet this guy is still in place. What a joke.

If you are in a situation where you have to keep Chris Getz and all his people to develop players, you are most likely to fail even if you make good international signings and drat decently. Obviously, those jobs are limited, and sometimes you have to take what you can get, but if you are one of the better candidates, wouldn’t you wait for better situation? Maybe JR has had enough of these guys, realizes they ccannot choose the correct players. Realizes any player that is developed seems to have been pretty advanced when acquired, and really lets a new hire clean house. I have no confidence that is the case.

They aren’t going full rebuild. JR will give him or her a mediocre budget and expect to win.

If you can put together an average team you should be a contender. These dopes can’t even do that.

It’s funny, the consensus has shifted from all the bad decisions we’re KW and JR overruling Hahn to now they all are Hahn, and hopefully KW gets more involved. I will say KW was better than Rick, but that’s not saying much. The house needs to be cleaned out.

He was neutered with LaRussa, but he still was able to f*** up a lot more. JR was able to get LaRussa the A’s job. He won’t be able to find Hahn a GM job unless it’s for some youth travel team.

Th other thing I question is even if somehow Hahn and KW left, how attractive would this job be? Would anyone new have to keep Pedro and Getz and all the coaches and non development staff? If so, what kind of quality candidate would be interested?

That’s pretty much how I look at it. If they are still letting him make decisions now, they don’t seem to think he’s part of the problem.

When Hawk was the GM, one thing JR called a mistake, they were 44-57 after 101 games. This team is 3 games worse in the middle of their multiple championship window.

You’re absolutely right. Cheap and will do things their way.

The Sox were going to suck regardless, but LaRussa was a bad manager. Pedro is worse. Anyone who wants to defend Pedro, what has he done to show he’s not one of the worst managers in baseball? If I hear we just need to flush it again, I’m going to puke. This was Ricks handpicked guy, and he really couldn’t be worse. Another Hahn fail. I see a pattern. Make it end.

Ozzie must thank the White Sox every day for not hiring him again.

Yes.

Ozzie and Chuck are questioning Pedro. Not good for Pedro.

It’s crazy. It’s the one thing that makes me think they may keep everyone around. The one saving grace is more ticket holders will bail if they do than ever before. The team has to know this.

This team might have even been worse if AJ Pollock and his 50 something wRC didn’t hand them a gift last winter. Fire this clown.

Eric Karros seems annoyed he's being paid to describe this game.

We’re going to control the zone-Pedro Grifol

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough. Rick has been GM for 11 seasons. In only 1 of those 11 seasons could fans go to the ballpark and see a team better than mediocre, and most of the time a lot less. Fire Rick Hahn before he does even more damage.

Lance Lynn is the reincarnation of James Shields. Supposed tough guys who suck so bad. They also have a tendency to have the games they pitch be over in the 1st inning.

But Dan Bernstein and his son have a podcast and they said Ayo was a goner. They have great soources.

Looking like it might be mission accomplished.

I have the feeling if they don't trade him, the will DFA him soon after.
