July 12, 20223 yr There is a 99% chance if therr is any truth to this that it will be McEwing or Cairo. I would like something different, but either of those guys is an upgrade.
July 12, 20223 yr k clearly the sox would screw up a similar situation but I'll just point out Thome's resume isn't that different, it's basically the same, as Rocco Baldelli's.
July 12, 20223 yr The draft is Sunday-Tuesday and the trade deadline soon after. Rick Hahn isn’t going anywhere.

July 12, 20223 yr I know it’s a pipe-dream because it’s Reinsdorf, but I hope he cleans house at the end of the year and goes outside the organization like his son did with the Bulls. I can dream.

I would likely put up with daily beatings if I got to be the GM of an MLB team, gotta be a tough one to walk away from for spite.

We can get Dave Stewart to be his GM and then hire the doggy doctor for the analytics president. This could be amazing.

People imagining Hahn as miserable instead of happy are delusional. He has no right to have been a GM for 10 years with his record.
July 12, 20223 yr I do have concerns with the mlb draft this week. Will Hahn feel pressured to draft college players closer to the majors with being on the hot seat. I hope they stick to last years draft strategy and go the prep route again. Edited July 12, 20223 yr by PolishPrince34

July 12, 20223 yr If they named Abreu as player-manager would he have to use Billy Russo to argue with himself whether he was playing both games of a DH or not?
July 12, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, Quin said: Danny Mendick will be hired as interim manager. That would be a Bill Veeck move. He was so cheap he made Kessinger a player manager so he could save a salary, and made Ron Schuelet a pitching coach when he was injured and couldn't pitch anymore

July 12, 20223 yr This story may have legs! My dead grandmother just texted me that an "unnamed White Sox official" reached out to her today about a managerial opening in the organization!
July 12, 20223 yr 11 minutes ago, Quin said: Danny Mendick will be hired as interim manager. Might as well replace one manager that’s a dick with another
July 12, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, ChiSox59 said: seems relevant! Damn shame TLR isn't a man of his word. He said publicly that if his team ever quit on him he would quit. The fact he is so delusional not being able to recognize that his team has quit on him, or so damn arrogant and stubborn to admit his team quit on him, is a pitiful state of affairs for diehard Sox fans, that were promised significantly better results now into our 6th year of the rebuild. The sad thing even if TLR is fired, we still have his loser coaches and Rick Hahn who assembled this team poorly and also let the farm system become one of the worst in baseball.
