August 2, 20223 yr Rick Hahn, go fuck yourself pal. You are absolutely pitiful at your job and you've made the last 10 years miserable. Not that any of that matters though because you're loyal so you have a job for life. Maybe your spawn who probably frequents this board can pass along the message, douche

August 2, 20223 yr It probably went like this RH: Jerry we have a deal in place to get us Jazz Chisholm JR: Tony said he plays Leury at 2B RH: Well we have another deal to land Joc Pederson JR: Tony said he like to play Leury in RF RH: Well what about Carlos Rodon to boost our rotation JR: Tony said he has Leury lined up for that as well RH:

One would have to hope the silver lining is this. Rick knows this year is shot, that TLR walks at year end, and he gets a crack at a non-JR crony manager in the offseason. That being said, they still coulda been favorites for this division with a couple moves.
August 2, 20223 yr How does he explain several players who would have improved the White Sox were traded for non premium prospects. And didn't the White Sox get it out there they were interested in Ohtani which certainly would have cost them almost all their so called premium prospects?
August 2, 20223 yr Just now, DirtySox said: He should have been a seller, since his team is not a contender.
August 2, 20223 yr I feel bad for Abreu. The guy wants to win a World Series so bad and he’s being led on.

August 2, 20223 yr First question: Did RickyGM actually say he made SIX moves and not none? Second question: Was he implying that optioning guys and sending guys to rehab assignments counted as a deadline move?

I'm "happier" standing pat than I would've been with worthless desperation moves. I agree with you. To many guys having terrible seasons, this isn’t the year to push the chips in on rentals. I’d prefer they stand pat, reload during the off-season and hope a few of these guys bounce back and stay healthy. Caveat is that I know they won’t really reload during the off-season. But still understanding how this terrible front office operates I’m not that upset with doing nothing at this deadline.

Second question: Was he implying that optioning guys and sending guys to rehab assignments counted as a deadline move? It was facetious, but I believe with all my heart he was thinking it and would have said it if he thought he could get away with it.

We're stating facts, not making excuses. If Hahn is feckless(he is IMO) that's his choice to be a weasel and hide behind his bosses. More reason to fire his ass. If he had any cojones he'd have resigned years ago. Balta got one convert!

It wasn't a "sellers market" in San Diego It wasn't a "sellers market" in Minnesota. It wasn't a "sellers market" in New York. It wasn't a "sellers market" in Atlanta. It wasn't a "sellers market" in Saint Louis. Most here were underwhelmed by the returns of any of the top trade acquisitions beyond Luis Castillo.

Extolling upside of a full year in 2023 with Suzuki and Madrigal...unlimited financial flexibility this upcoming offseason in FA? (Well, I guess the Cards and Brewers didn't improve much, either.)

Now they have to live up to their prospect billing. Odds are they get at least 2 if not 3 very useful pieces out of those five. Gore and CJ Abrams are already at the big league level, of course.
