August 3, 20232 yr Rick Hahn has earned each and every loss over his tenure. Godspeed on 100 losses and an exhumation of Hahn and everyone else in his organization, and every officer across the entire organization, for flushing a generation of White Sox fans down the toilet.
August 3, 20232 yr Before you know it, it will be 2025, and it will be 20 years since the only WS win since 1917. But don't worry, Hahn has acquired a bunch of prospects that will be ready to play sometime after 2025. A couple of 100-loss seasons never hurt anyone.

And the shitty team will still be wearing those fucking hideous loser 1983 uniforms.
August 3, 20232 yr A few more decent starts and Dunning will have more WAR than Lynn since the trade. Another big W for the Harvard wizard.

Another big W for the Harvard wizard. meh, we needed big year rather than smoothed average years. Would still make trade. problem is being stuck and unable to adjust yearly due to inability to sustain a farm or be smarter than an average bear.
August 3, 20232 yr Words of wisdom from Cohen to Hahn “I said before, ‘Hope’s not a strategy,’” Cohen said, referencing a June press conference in which he hinted at his plans if the Mets failed to improve. “Now, saying that, we didn’t have any idea of what was possible at the Deadline, and we weren’t just going to do deals for the sake of doing deals. But we thought we got a great return for the people we ended up trading.”

What is more White Sox than that?

August 3, 20232 yr I wonder how the Sox rank in terms of number of innings scored. This team seems to get 1 solid offensive inning a game... that's it. I'd be willing to bet that, even among other teams with similar offensive statistics (runs scored), we'd be near the bottom in the number of innings scored.
August 3, 20232 yr The Royals have cut the Sox lead to eight. One game per week is doable. Go Royals!

But when you don't have a decent farm and when young pitchers are a rarity, the cost of rental trades is particularly high.

Disagree, when you don’t have a decent farm and young pitchers are a rarity, all the more imperative to stack up a particular year to be good. Unfortunately he wasted what he had left on Craig kimbrel.
August 3, 20232 yr Just got done listening to the latest Podcast by Chuck, he had Jim Callis on for the full 45 minutes. Callis said they would move the Sox system up to the mid-teens after the deals and they do now have a good amount of talent and options at catcher and left handed pitcher. Said Montgomery and Schultz are going to both be very good. Thinks the Sox had a solid, deep draft and would have put several of those selections on the Sox Top 30 list before all the trades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylqz6x4RkeA

August 4, 20232 yr Rick Hahn Special "The Royals’ return for Nicky Lopez Not that anybody is viewing the utilityman Lopez as the darling of this Deadline, but there was no stranger trade return than the Royals trading Lopez, a good defender under control through 2025, to the Braves for a 28-year-old lefty reliever in Taylor Hearn, who comes with the same years of control and was just designated for assignment by the Rangers on July 19 ... and therefore available to the Royals at the time for cash." mlb.com

August 4, 20232 yr We shouldn't just talk about Hahn from now on like he doesn't exist...maybe he will step down but likely still cashing those checks.
