NCsoxfan Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 15 minutes ago, Snopek said: I don’t disagree with the bolded but at the same time, what’s the point of having Cease pitch for what’s likely to be a very uncompetitive team next year? It’s not binary. They could trade him this winter, they could trade him at next deadline. You can’t trade a pitcher with 2.5y of control (10-12war) and not get back a kings ransom. If a good enough deal wasn’t presented then Hahn did the right thing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, just feels like his trade value was at a peak at this deadline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 I love that the media is calling Rick out for his bullshit.

Lip Man 1 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 “Most of the fan interaction that I’ve had in recent months is fan question-and-answer sessions,” he said. “You can feel the frustration and you can feel the disappointment. They feel better for having been heard." - Rick Hahn You mean like at Sox Fest? 😆 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulfly Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Hahn is the worst GM in sports and has ruined White Sox baseball for many Sox fans. He needs to go find some dumb corporate job and run that organization into the ground instead of continuing to think he has any idea of how to construct a baseball team. He is a complete failure and just about any other company would have fired his ass into the sun years ago for such shitty performance. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Hahn always chooses his words so carefully. Could there be a glimmer of light? "What that looks like at the big league level in '24, let's get to the end of the season. ... You will hear, directly, what the plan is for the people in charge."

Wouldn't he have said FROM the people in charge if he meant the front office? I kind of read that more like lets get to the end of the season and we will let you know the direction for the big league team. People in charge as coaching staff?

I haven't seen anything at all that indicated Rick Hahn has lost his job. And if Hahn has been internally fired but everyone, including Hahn, is pretending he is still GM until the season is over to save face or whatever it is they're doing then this organization is more pathetic than I could have ever imagined. I just don't understand at all how you could let a lame duck GM take lead on the future of your organization if you have already decided hes not the guy to lead the franchise. It makes no sense.

The trade deadline was simply saving salary for the remainder of the year. Why make a trade with the Marlins for the only player that was not a salary dump???? Kim Ng is replacing Kenny Williams also, the Marlins have no issue trading young pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Steve, it's even harder to manage a Hahn roster against MLB teams. I really don't see Tony returning to the dugout especially to manage a 90 loss team. Pedro will be here for his contract, pay his dues, and be the Doug Collins of Chicago baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
