I can just see Rick Hahn giving a shoutout to Soxtalk in the presser. Lol

I know it’s just speculation but I don’t see Hahn leaving. I don’t think he’s happy with how the managerial search played out but I don’t think he’s going to jump ship after the rebuild is over. I can see maybe a few of the coaches being fired but nothing major in the front office. Most likely Boston will be fired and maybe McEwing for some of his bonehead calls sending runners home.

I think it’s more in the context of the team that was assembled this year but you guys are probably correct. He’s not going to really tell us his plans for 2022, etc.

I think Hahn is just waiting until they are done evaluating the team and the organization. Nothing to lose sleep over.

Is this site legit? I remember it being pretty spot on.

Can someone post what was mentioned in this article?

Merkin kept saying the same things at the trade deadline as well.

Shocking. Reinsdorf not willing to open up his wallet.

Yeah that’s more like it. Lol

Hopefully this...Hopefully that...Hopefully this is the way.

No, I went back and edited my post. They agreed to an extension in April.

Martin Maldonado is a free agent this year. edit: oops nvm, the Astros and Maldonado agreed to an extension in April.

That fake MLB Executive Burner account mentioned the Orioles as a possibility for Kimbrel. Anthony Santander as the piece coming back to the Sox. Lol

Shocking. I wonder if the Sox purposely did this to drum up interest to see what they can get for him and than when it comes time to decide on the option, they will either trade him or decline the option. This was their plan all along.

Lol

Yes but the article also says the market is thin for relievers.

I’m not advocating on keeping him. I think they should try trading him. However, they gave up a lot to get him so I don’t think declining his option and just letting him walk is the best option.

Yes but you can also say if they let him go and he has an All-Star year with another team, why didn’t they pickup his option? Relievers are a crapshoot.

This is the best option. They gave up quite a bit for him so if they can’t find a taker, we have him for at least one more year and hopefully he turns it around.

They should have tried trading for Inglesias and a RF instead. Probably a better strategy.

I somewhat disagree. There were countless times in crucial situations when they had RISP and all they could do was either strikeout, ground out, or hit into a GIDP. If you notice, most of the the teams on that list have advanced or are still alive in the playoffs and it’s because they can drive in runs in crucial situations by hitting for extra base hits, for homeruns or drive the ball to the outfield for a sac fly.
