January 28, 20197 yr 4 minutes ago, fathom said: Hahn also going to be on with Kap at 10 today Is this a damage control and concession tour? The way he is being quoted seems like it. "There are other players we are talking to you" " Some outside of the Org. think even without Machado we had a good offseason" Sounds like an insecure GM. Maybe I am over reacting but he sure doesn't seem as confident as he sounded at SoxFest.
January 28, 20197 yr 9 minutes ago, Orlando said: This really annoys me. You traded for Manny's brother in law that didn't fit the depth chart and help a division rival shed salary. You over paid for his best friend coming off of a down year. You traded a young catcher for a 2 year reliever and replaced him with James Mccan. You traded for an average at best 5th starter. You paid Kelvin Herrera a very comparable annual salary to Ottavino. No Hahn, without Machado this wasn't a good offseason by any stretch of the imagination. And guess what Hahn? Until the White Sox get with the times and give a 100+ contract to someone, there wont be a parade. Agreed. Without Machado, I don't really want Alonso nor Jay on the team. The only moves I would have liked is the Herrera deal. Colome I think was a good pickup and could likely be flipped for more than a backup catcher at some point if they want to trade him.

January 28, 20197 yr Hahn can’t actually believe they had a good off season up to this point. He can not actually believe that.
January 28, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, soxfan2014 said: Agreed. Without Machado, I don't really want Alonso nor Jay on the team. Yeah right now they’re probably a worse team than where they started off last season.
January 28, 20197 yr Without Machado or Harper, we're still a year or two away, it's really about developing the current guys anyway. We were never going to win the offseason unless we made a big splash. Edited January 28, 20197 yr by bighurt574 mistake
January 28, 20197 yr 2 minutes ago, fathom said: Yeah right now they’re probably a worse team than where they started off last season. Yeah have to agree. You could even make an argument that Shields was/is better than Nova.
January 28, 20197 yr 4 minutes ago, fathom said: Yeah right now they’re probably a worse team than where they started off last season. I think they're a couple games better pre-Eloy, almost every move was a lateral move but their bullpen is deeper.

Hahn is doing what he has to do - sounding positive and not desperate on a day following Soxfest when the local media will give him time to be on the air.
January 28, 20197 yr Probably a little better than last year but that's knowing the injuries that occurred last year. Hahn said a lot of versions of this quote that sounded better so maybe this was just one that got away.
January 28, 20197 yr Rick Hahn talking this wimp talk after the fans leave. I am still confident as they tea leaves still favor us, and Hahn isn't dumb enough to string fans along with their efforts and lose all trust and credibility.
January 28, 20197 yr The Hahn apology tour has already begun. Manny is clearly signing this week with another team. The Bulls and White Sox are a fucking joke.
January 28, 20197 yr A lot of what Hahn has said this past week sounds like he's preparing fans for disappointment. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because I never thought that either player was remotely interested in signing here.
January 28, 20197 yr 14 minutes ago, fathom said: Yeah right now they’re probably a worse team than where they started off last season. I think they are slightly better due to the bullpen acquisitions.
January 28, 20197 yr Hahn said that there are other players they are talking too that would make us better. That sure sounds like free agency. Who the heck could that possibly be? Marwin? Moustakas?
January 28, 20197 yr Doom and Gloom Monday? Good lord man, they are still in this. I know frustration has set in on the waiting game, but realistically Lozano was always playing this game. Herrera, Colome and Nova all have a chance to be upgrades and a Jon Jay style player is a nice bridge to get .1 WaR players off the field until Robert/Gonzalez/Adolfo are ready. Wait until Spring training starts and these "3 to 4" moves shake out.
January 28, 20197 yr Just now, Orlando said: Hahn said that there are other players they are talking too that would make us better. That sure sounds like free agency. Who the heck could that possibly be? Marwin? Moustakas? Good call, Harper and Gio also
January 28, 20197 yr Just now, mqr said: Oh man the sky is falling today, huh? Just reacting to what Hahn said. He had some very disappointing quotes. It's not doom and gloom because we are irrational, it's doom and gloom because Hahn is on a radio show talking like a wimp

Who the heck could that possibly be? Marwin? Moustakas? no idea but if lack of activity is any indication, marwin g might be heading to an area where he is a decent buy low asset. If he recreates 2017 then you have a chip.
