Or, do you ride it out and wait to get fired? You have to think about trading TA7 Giolito (if any value) anyone from the pen, Reynaldo Lopez, Grandal in walk year, etc. Graveman/Bummer/Kelly. Parting with Robert or Cease is the end, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I think if things get really bad JR will have to sacrifice Hahn to take the spotlight off his own responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a failed desperate  attempt to save the season, they probably acquire mediocre short term solutions that ultimately fail instead of true young talent. That’s the Sox way.

JoshPR Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I feel this needs to be broken up. The la russa hiring was the end. Hahn needs to go most incompetent GM since Hawk. This has an 86-89 feel. It's too bad I was so looking forward to this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to get younger and more athletic across the field (Robert Colas Montgomery Vaughn the current foundation)...Andrew Benintendi for four more years is the last thing they really need to compete with CLE. More than anything though...pitching pitching pitching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually everyone in SD wanted him gone. But if Lynn/Giolito/Kopech don't rebound...it really doesn't matter what they do in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Line Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) These things are cyclical. Anybody hyperventilating about the pitching needs to just wait a week or two. They will settle down and get in a groove, just in time for the offense to go completely cold. I've watched a Hahn team before.
