It would not surprise me if both Abreu and Colome were traded for prospects. The payroll will keep getting smaller and JR and his investors will make more money.

Whenever Cease is brought up with Rick Hahn he has always said he won't be brought up until he is ready and performs well enough in the Minors and he deserves to be brought up. He has said numerous times he won't bring up anybody to the White Sox unless he deserves it. It sounds real good but its BS. Perfect example is Zavala being called up. I realize that the team needs another catcher after Castillo getting hurt but still if you look at Zavalas hitting records this season they are appalling. His batting average and OBP are terrible. If anything he should probably be demoted. That being said the team has a starting pitching staff that can't get anybody out and Cease is still in the Minors. Its absolutely insane that Cease is not with the White Sox now. Bums like Banuelos are in the starting rotation and Cease is still in the minors waiting to be called up, I've said this before and I will say this again, its almost as if the White Sox are losing on purpose.

Your heart is in the right place but the changes you want are not going to happen. The franchise is making money hand over fist. As long as it keeps making money JR is happy with his organization. Always remember, Forbes magazine said the White Sox were the 6th most profitable team in 2018.

Sun Times White Sox beat writer Daryl Van Schouwen wrote the article.

Nobody ever talks about this but Hahn grew up a Cubs fan. Hahn was never at a White Sox game in his life until he started working for JR.

The article in todays Sun Times said the White Sox have no interest in signing Keuchel. Maybe they'll change their minds. We shall see.

I wish Hahn would have signed Gio Gonzalez. He signed for a small amount of money. Add Gonzalez and Cease to the starting rotation and things could have gotten interesting.

I realize that the MLB All Star Game is still a few weeks away but as of now the White Sox have as many as 6 players who could make the All Star team. Giolito, Colome, Mc Cann, Abreu, Anderson and Moncada could be picked for the team. If these 6 keep performing well it will be interesting to see who goes to the All Star Game.

Fine with me. If any other MLB team wants Castillo they can have him.

Play McCann as much as possible. If he keeps producing extend him. You can't extend him if he remains a part time player.

Castillo has no business being in the starting lineup ahead of McCann. If the White Sox released Castillo today there isn't one team that would pick him up and put him on their roster.

I just wish he was playing every day. Playing Castillo every other day has been for the birds.

McCann had a big hit tonight. I hope he's in the starting lineup tomorrow instead of Castillo.

Why is Castillo playing instead of McCann? What am I missing here? Is this team actually losing on purpose?

I always thought his low career home run totals (186) kept him out of the HOF.

If Colome is traded, I'm expecting more prospects in return.

John Romano, and Don Mincher. The Latman trade was another dumb trade by Bill Veeck. He traded Latman for Herb Score. Score was never able to get anybody out. Scores best days were behind him.

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.
