I understand why Alonso is playing every day. ($9 million dollar contract) I simply can't understand why McCann isn't playing every day. Its almost as if the team is losing on purpose.

Does anybody think JR is going to spend big money on some impact free agents? I hope he does but I'll believe it when it happens.

I get the impression that JR and Hahn don't really care about winning. This tanking/losing on purpose is fine with them. Most of there starting pitchers can't get anybody out, but yet they won't bring up Cease. Score announcer (and White sox fan) Mike Mulligan said the other day the White Sox could have easily signed Gio Gonzalez for a mere $2 million dollars and they didn't even try to sign him. If Hahn had acquired a couple of good starting pitchers this team would have contended in this weak division. Always keep in mind that this franchise is making nothing but money with losing/low payroll teams.

Yes it was $23 million dollars wasted but keep in mind even with this wasted amount of money spent the White Sox still have one of the lowest payrolls in MLB. And as long as the payroll stays low this ownership is making some serious money.

The way I see it, Hahn will be gone. If this rebuild fails, he's gone. If the rebuild is a success I figure some other organization will offer him a lot more money than what JR is paying him and he'll leave on his own. Either way, good riddance.

Hahn certainly isn't interview shy but he is plainly full of shit. I've seen him a number of times in person at season ticket seminars and at Soxfest. If you ask him a question he doesn't like, he will talk endlessly but he won't answer your question. He does seem to be a very happy guy and he should be. He has the worse won-loss record of any MLB GM the last 6 years and he still has his high paying job. If he had been working for virtually any other MLB team he would have been fired 3 years ago.

I'm surprised that White Sox fans still get upset by comments made by Hahn. His record as Gm is so bad that I simply don't pay any attention to him anymore. Last season I was invited to a season ticket seminar/chalk talk and Hahn was the speaker. I didn't go. I've seen him in person a number of times and for my own emotional well being I have no intention of ever hearing speak in person again.

With all this talk during the off season of the team signing Machado/Harper I was hoping they would spend some money on 2 starting pitchers. 2 good starting pitchers could have made the team much better and in this division they could have possibly gone to the playoffs. They knew Kopech wasn't pitching this season and Rodon was horrible the last month of the 2018 season. They should have added some pitching instead of Banuelos and Covey.

This tanking/losing on purpose is really bad. Whenever you have Banuelos and Covey starting you're basically tanking/losing on purpose. Everybody wants Cease up with the team now. Instead they keep pitching Banuelos and Covey. The White Sox have a tough 7 game road trip next week at Houston and Minnesota. As it stands now, Banuelos and Covey will be starting 4 of those games. It should be ugly.

I don't expect the White Sox to sign any big free agents in the off season or make any trades to help the team. This team is being put together from their farm system. This rebuild is going to be done as cheaply as possible. I just hope it works out. Somebody posted a few days ago that Hahn should extend Moncada with a $200 million dollar extension. I'll believe that when I see it.

I would do backflips if Colome was traded and they received a good player in return. Not a bust like they received for Robertson.

Colome might be one of our best tradeable resources but I just hope the team has somebody who can close out games if he 's traded. I don't want to go another year and a half without a closer. I also don't want him traded for nothing like Hahn traded Dave Robertson for nothing.

I hope that Colome stays with the White Sox. He has been the only good closer the team has had since Dave Robertson.

I don't know or care if JR is a hands on owner but anyway you look at it JR IS A LOUSY BASEBALL OWNER.

Couldn't your description of Hahn being a bean counter, and a contract guy also apply to JR? JR is not a baseball guy and a terrible owner. The one good thing he is good at is MAKING MONEY.

Can we DFA JR, Hahn and Renteria?

ALonso and Castillo are in the lineup not hitting their weight and McCann (hitting .350) is on the bench. Kind of makes you wonder if this team is losing on purpose.

I would call Rutherford absolutely nothing now. Rutherford has no future with the White Sox, none. I doubt if he even makes it to the Big Leagues. They say it takes 2-3 years to judge a trade. The Robertson trade was another of Hahns bad trades.

Some of the things done by Hahn have baffled me for as long as he has been the GM. In 2017 he traded David Robertson for absolutely nothing. Steve Stone said the trade was done for some salary relief. Hahn will then turnaround and spend millions of dollars on bums like Jay and Alonso.

This is the last year on Stones contract. Rumor has it that AJ Pierzynski will be his replacement if Stone decides to retire after this season.

You're right, there is nothing to get excited about pitching wise. I think its insane that Cease hasn't been brought up. He would be on virtually every MLB team now. He's the only White Sox pitcher now who you could get anything for in a trade. You couldn't get a decent return for any of the other starting pitchers on the team and Hahn won't bring Cease up. This tanking/losing on purpose is really bad.

If Hahns kid is on this site and is willing to give his father some valuable insights, here's another one. Have his father resign immediately.

Keep in mind that Hahn gave a 34 year old Adam LaRoche a 2 year $24 million dollar contract. Why not give a 32 year old Abreu the same 2 year contract?

I've written letters to JR for years and I always received a response from him. But when I wrote him a letter requesting to be interviewed for the White Sox Gm job, I didn't receive any response from him. Maybe he's keeping my letter on file and he will eventually get back to me. I'm still open to being the White Sox GM. If I become the White Sox GM , I promise all White Sox fans the greatest fun ride in modern White Sox history. I WILL MAKE THE WHITE SOX GREAT AGAIN!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Hahn replace Frare with Carson Fulmer again.
