4uckOffCommieScum Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It just dawned on me but what if the reason they didn’t care about hiring a drunk as a manager is because they are all drunk all the time.

If a suspension comes, that will cost him. Unless they determine the accuser made everything up, he’s going to be suspended, and probably for a long time. He’s an idiot, and if he pitches for the White Sox, I hope they lose every game he starts and no one shows up at his home starts.

Highland Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We all know how complicated this situation is, but the incompetence still reeks. It has been going on for decades. Idiotic trades, dumb managerial hires, and just plain ineptness. Of course, Rick Hahn should be fired for this. Then again, he should have been fired a long time ago. So, don't expect any action to be taken now. But we are supposed to believe the Rebuild is working and all the Sox need is for certain players to bounce back and 2023 will be just fine. But the FO talks only about winning a division. A World Series doesn't seem to be in the plans. This has been tiresome for over 40 years. It is a minor miracle this team has won anything, not that they have won that much. The franchise needs an experienced baseball man to come in and turn things around. But that won't happen because Jerry Reinsdorf knows more than anyone else. Now they have another public relations black eye because of some creep. They will never learn no matter what happens. I'm waiting for the next scandal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I'm just saying there's more about his character that comes into question than fooling around. Why did Tito get rid of him after breaking MLB's COVID rules, seems kinda harsh. I believe Cleveland knew the real Mike Clevinger otherwise they wouldn't have gotten rid of him for breaking that rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Boston can share a few stories no doubt, speaking of, as long as the Sox continue to employ him, maybe it's JR's character that should be questioned.

caulfield12 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Pretty clear when you trade away six players to acquire a guy and then want absolutely nothing to do with him despite having a couple of rotation openings (and Snell/Darvish not for much longer) that the relationship there had seriously soured. Preller would pretty much sell his soul to win and walked away instead of doubling down on a bad move and making it even worse like some team I'm quite familiar with now by age 53.

I am not sure what obligation teams have to report these types of things, but I can definitely see how Preller would keep this to himself either way and use it to screw over other teams. He quite literally has a history of doing exactly these kinds of things. What relevance would having two sets of injury records have, and can you share a source? Regardless if he did or didn't have two set's, any team trading for a player includes a clause pending passing teams physical. Let me bring you up to speed on Carlos Correa not passing physical's with the Giant's and Met's who voided both deals by doing their homework.

caulfield12 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Also, a certain GM pulled a Hahn thinking he could take advantage of an Indians organization and manager desperate to dump one of its own players (see Big Game James). Didn't exactly work out as planned in either scenario. Two of the 5 worst all-time trades for both organizations. "The trade came shortly after Clevinger and Zach Plesac broke team and MLB COVID protocols to spend a night on the town in Chicago. Cleveland received Cal Quantrill, Josh Naylor, Owen Miller, Austin Hedges, Gabrial Arias and Joey Cantillo from the Padres. Clevinger underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow shortly after the trade and appeared in only 27 games, including 26 starts, in his time with the Padres."

That will hurt a well-known Sox critic until his last day on earth. (That said, using the same doctor for both evaluations wasn't exactly the epitome of brilliance, either. Both teams are not better off for the next 4-5 seasons, especially SF.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Good on the White Sox to refrain from comment or judgement until investigations finish. It’s kinda ironic that if we didn’t have these large corporations the mob would swallow all the light out of the world at the first sign of any crisis.

It's called character and a large firm wouldn't take a chance on getting their name tarnish by a suspected abuser and skirt chaser. We know it's not relevant with the Chicago White Sox, that's why we're in this situation. A better signing would have been Jameson Taillon if the Sox were serious about winning.

Middle Buffalo Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Maybe I’m crazy, but it seems to me if MLB and/or the Padres were aware of a situation like this, they have an obligation to share the information with teams interested in signing or trading for the player in question. MLB teams are “partners.” Allowing one team to hurt the reputation of another by hiding information is pretty bad and damaging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
