Only about 2 teams actually have the talent to afford Robert with the heats of control he has, and it’s entirely possible they won’t pay the price we would want. They wouldn’t wind up with a top flight system if they had to take less to move Robert, and it takes two to tango.

I’m not the biggest fan of Theo, but I do admire his leadership and the ability of knowing when it’s time to step down from a front office position. He mentioned in an interview that change in leadership is more than necessary after 10 years. Things get stale, and when it is no longer working, it’s time to give someone else a shot at it. It’s safe to say things have been very stale on the Southside. Fans have had enough of this current front office and change is not only necessary but it should be demanded by every Sox fan. I can't see Theo or Jed talking such blatant bullshit like "People are accountable" or "just a few years ago we were named the best front office in baseball". Kenny is on record saying he is walking away once his contract is done, but don't see Hahn going anywhere until Jerry dies and only if someone outside of the Reinsdorf family has control. Paxson is still with the Bulls, likely Jerry and or Michael's spy at this stage.

I doubt we will be happy with what he gets this trade deadline.

I do remember JR saying that he doesn't believe in paying for "potential." Well they kind of did that with Robert though

July 22, 20232 yr Author Let the record show that our entire group of positional players have combined for 1.4 fWAR if you exclude Robert. We rank 26th overall in wRC+. Highlights include: An everyday 1B with a 104 wRC+ An everyday LF with a 103 wRC+ A part time DH/RF with a 76 wRC+ A part time RF with a 35 wRC+ How do you expect to win when you’re forgoing offense at the most critical power positions? And this doesn’t even address the horrors in the middle infield and elsewhere in the lineup. Rick Hahn and the coaching staff should be embarrassed with that his s%*#-show of an offense.

The Sox are back to being mired in mediocrity. It's like 2016 all over again.

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough. Rick has been GM for 11 seasons. In only 1 of those 11 seasons could fans go to the ballpark and see a team better than mediocre, and most of the time a lot less. Fire Rick Hahn before he does even more damage.
