December 1, 20214 yr Author Thankfully we have one but yes I don’t believe there is a LH or SH 2B available anymore
December 1, 20214 yr Lost $2 million from what he would have had performing adequately for the White Sox in August and September...and ruined Hahn's sales job for that particular trade.

Coverting Suzuki sounds like more likely than Vaughn or Burger, lol...Mark Teahen still available? D'Angelo Jimenez? I do draw the line at Wil Cordero. They can peddle Kimbrel to the Padres for either Kim or Profar. That actually sounds like a fair deal for both sides, in terms of the financial ramifications. Maybe not so much now with Leury also on board, though. Edited December 1, 20214 yr by caulfield12
December 1, 20214 yr Forcing the Sox into a corner where they're forced to spend on someone good wouldn't be the worst outcome in the world

It wasn't even the worst trade Hahn made that week. 07/29/21 Cleveland Indians traded 2B Cesar Hernandez to Chicago White Sox for LHP Konnor Pilkington. 07/30/21 Chicago Cubs traded RHP Craig Kimbrel to Chicago White Sox for 2B Nick Madrigal and RHP Codi Heuer.

Semien was understandable bad after a few months. He who shall not be named was deplorable and legit could have been a fireable offense. Oh well - it’s all long gone now. ?
December 1, 20214 yr Pilkington will end up being a starting pitcher in a rotation. What a god awful, shit trade. The trade deadline was one of Hahn's worst showings.

I liked the Kimbrel trade for the aggressiveness and still do. It didn’t work out but what are ya gonna do??♂️

Said it sort of made sense if they planned on moving Kopech to a starting role. Just think Kimbrel was gassed at that point, should be OK this year. That said, Pilkington wasn't a big loss whereas the Sox could have used Heuer last or this/future years, and flipped Madrigal for something else.

That we could have used those chips,in hindsight, for a much better player but it is what it is. Hopefully the Sox bullpen is nails this coming season and they don’t have to overpay for an arm again
December 1, 20214 yr The trade was well-intended: 2b was a need and he was playing well and the price wasn't exorbitant. Kimbrel trade was much worse.

Trade was fine - tho they should have aimed higher. I’m not worried about Pilkington at all. But holy shit, Cesar was unlikeable in every way.

Hernandez was coming off a gold glove and career power numbers. No one could have predicted a huge flop going to a better team...
