Einhorn : Finkel Tray : Reinsdorf

Compare the Cubs vs the White Sox over that same period and come back to us

I don't think our ambulance squad of Old Meat, Clevinger, and MK plus a serious question mark with Lucas is full, but call me nuts. May not be a 'legit' SP, but need another arm and agree with your comment about Charlotte, but welcome to Hahn World. Guy's an idiot.

Don't think that's true, rumors yesterday on MLB that Boston is considering eating half his contract, which makes sense to me, mentioned Dodgers, Rangers and the Sox as potential suitors. There was also an interesting discussion around making him a closer a la Smoltz / Eck, which given this thread is also interesting food for fodder...

Dunno, Duran even after being called up early did pretty darn good. Jung also has a shoulder and leg injury, not to mention a Texas homegrown fav, but I hear ya. Either work for me, plus payroll room to add another SP. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si.com/mlb/rangers/.amp/news/texas-rangers-ezequiel-duran-2022-40-man-roster-breakdown-analysis

... and we could use their 'blocked' up-and-coming 2B. DO IT RICK (and get Sale at 50 cents while you're at it)

No problem, just win baby

Trade Hendricks to the Rangers for Ezequiel Duran + player TBN ... that is all

Another Rick Hahn gem of a signing ... they can platoon, or go for the Kark-style catcher, bigger priorities.

Wow do we have low great bar ....

You would be too if it cost you $1k to bring your family to a game

... and that ladies and gentlemen is the top FA signing in franchise history!!!

"Yankees Rumors: Andrew Benintendi 5-Year Contract Doesn't Interest NY in Free Agency" -- NY Post Major, major yawn on this guy -- would be another classic Rick Hahn signing with no one else interested. Guy is mediocre at best ...

F**k Jerry Reinsdorf That is all

So you agree?

We're one of the only teams owned by a consortium of investors with a headline owner who doesn't actually have any cash.

He's a better looking JR

Agreed ... he'd look great in a Dodgers / Red Sox uni and would love the spotlight

Shouldn't we add this to the Fire Rick Hahn thread?

Unfortunately, pure speculation of course, but if you believe what Google tells you, they had an operating loss of roughly $10M in 2021, but that doesn't factor-in all their income, so have to imagine it's pretty close to fully loaded. That's a total guess by this moron...

I don't know why our fanbase can't comprehend that Jerry Reinsdorf does not have the liquidity to simply raise the budget. He is a paper billionaire, whose wealth is derived from the fact that he used other people's money to buy two sports teams incredibly well. Unlike the Mets, Phillies, Dodgers, etc. we are not backed by some billionaire who made money elsewhere and decided to buy a team. Jerry runs the Sox like a business for his partners, period. If he happens to win, great, he loves the Sox and would love to win, but he's not a cash machine. Until he sells to someone who is, this is how the organization will operate, just as it has since he bought it.

Look at your profile logo/pic and think about the low-rent franchise you root for...

Real franchise, real owners vs. paper billionaire, former IRS agent's tax write-off ...

Have absolutely zero issues trading TA -- would get a lot of value in return, upgrade defense, lose an ego ... BTW, here's my bet on the big Rick Hahn offseason move: Trey Mancini ... "hey guys, he's a great rotation 1B, OF, DH guy and he used to be good!"
