I agree with you that he will probably not be the owner by then. However for some devastatingly bad luck, if JR is still the owner by then...then we are talking about a Titanic sports disaster like never before. Heaven forbid a more senile 93-94 yr old, being significantly more stubborn and ignorant. 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was supposed to revamp the minor leagues based on his one year in KC when they won while he was getting coffee for the higher ups. His minor leagues stink. He’s completely unqualified based on his resume. I suppose he’s a lock to be Hahn’s replacement. Why not Scott Fletcher who has a family connection. Joke.

I’d trust Kyle Davidson to run the white Sox in his spare time over Hahn. 100% serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a sale to a ownership group that will move it to it's own market would be interesting. Oakland has a stadium in need of a tenant.

If a new owner wants a change of scenery, I think they may want an area that is open to a new market. But Oakland did survive w Frisco years ago so who knows.

Chicago White Sox Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 In Rosenthal’s latest article, Ken believes we will ultimately be sellers and guys only controllable through next season could get moved. That’s fully aligned with my expectations, which is great news for us trolls & Cubs fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I agree with that logic, but this isn't a FO that has been keen on admitting failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The division is still so bad that you may be able to sneak in. Maybe catch lightning in a bottle from someone in minors. Might sound crazy but we know they won't really be buyers with nothing of value to trade. Edited June 30, 2023 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except you can’t sneak in without your best pitcher…especially with Clevinger also out. Which minor league starter/s are you going to next? Touissant and Scholtens can get it done?

Not saying I agree with that logic, but this isn't a FO that has been keen on admitting failure. Honestly, I struggle with assuming what that cut-off might be. Normally I’d agree that 5 games is the right number, but I think even Hahn realizes how flawed this offense is. Might need to be a bit closer than that to pass on selling what should be a really attractive trade chip in Giolito. I also hate the idea of completely standing Pat at the deadline. Usually you’re either buying or selling to some extent, but throwing more resources at this team seems foolish and is just stretching out the inevitable retool / rebuild. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Any metric you look at will tell you that this team stinks. It would be a travesty to stand pat or move what little assets we have to try and polish this turd. Giolito and some of these bullpen arms have to be dealt. They wont resign Giolito, they wont offer him the QO, he cannot remain on this team past 8/1. If they are still able to somehow win tallest midget and get into the playoffs, great, enjoy that little playoff revenue. Whats best for this franchise moving forward is to get something for these guys instead of getting nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
