3 teams had playoff runs because of his contributions. What a guy

He earned the award for moves made over the past 4 years. He wasn’t going to win the award for trading for prospects like Eloy, Giolito, signing Robert, locking up TA, etc. when the team hasn’t shown any success. The minute they do, then he gets the recognition, that’s how these awards work.

The George Springer friends and family plan. Here we go again .........

Yea he's done a good job hard to argue otherwise. No GM is perfect and once Hahn was allowed to rebuild (I do think he was asked to not rebuild prior to 2018 by JR and KW) he did it well. He showed he's the 100% leader too firing Cooper and Renteria, which is great news for the future.

I’d take that friends and family plan then the last one we got Brantley and Hinch >>>Jay and Alonso The Astros are like Verizon friends and Family and Jay and Alonso are like the cricket friends and family plan

Oh, put a sock in it.

I’m not sure what you’re arguing here, but if you watched the Cleveland series you’d know how much a bad manager can cost you.

I’m in favor as long as he wears the 1983 windbreaker.

Didn’t know this magazine still existed. Gar Forman’s award more deserved. Time will tell whether Hahn will be able to match Gar Forman’s accomplishments when he leaves (winning record as GM, postseason success).

Our manager literally might have cost us the division and we went from seed 1 to seed 7 in a week largely attributed to abysmal managing. I don't know what you're trying to say. I've seen your unfailing optimism and I appreciate it, but there's a time for realism. Realism is, managers make a big difference and ours cost us big time. You make way too many excuses and your narrative that managing isn't important is a blatant disregard of common knowledge.

They mean much. If this past season for the Sox hasn't shown you that I don't know what the hell will.

You lose every ounce of credibility you may have had just by uttering the name gar forman

Why in the world do you think La Russa is capable of running a front office?

I get people not wanting the circus surrounding Hinch but Sox fans need to get a grip. We have a chance at a few world class managers and people are acting like we're the Yankees. If you have a chance to get a top 5 ish manager in the game you get him. It's not often an up and coming team like us gets the pick of the litter. Most teams hiring a coach are in bad situations.

Really wish Steve just responded with a photo of Keuchel.

Whether Hahn himself is deserving this year is debatable, but the body of work the whole org has done to turn this team into a burgeoning contender deserves recognition and accolade.

Been saying all year that people should look at the higher level here. Great news for this franchise

There is a big picture they look at. He got a rebuilt team into the playoffs. He deserved it to be honest.

Just for this year I definitely would agree, he took a sub 500 team and lead it to a 95 win pace. Those awards usually are given to the most improved team and definitely was the white Sox in 2020.

If he loses 3 WS and wins none I wouldn't call it a failure considering where the team came from. Obviously that would suck and you hope for at least a WS and hopefully 2 but if they lose a couple WS you couldn't blame Hahn imo

Like Rick Renteria?

Why are we trading assets for 1 year if Lynn when we can just sign a guy like Stroman to a likely reasonable contact.

What in the holiest of all Hells.

Is this a Rangers fan trolling?

While I agree, LaRussa would be a terrible choice, I do think he would probably be better than had the Sox stuck with Ricky. He wouldn't be all hunched over during an entire playoff game.

On the WS Talk Podcast, Geoff Blum said Hinch and Springer are extremely close and thinks Hinch would try to get him to play in Chicago

If Stone is revealing actual team information it is because the team wants it out there. The quickest way out of the White Sox family is leaking information that is meant to be secret.

This is a disaster. LaRussa would be a dreadful hire and he appears to be the front runner.

While I agree, the fact that RH and KW know JR really wants Tony, assuming that’s the case, will weigh on their minds, If either is not very enthused about the possibility he gets the job, I bet they are praying Tony tells them he isn’t up for it. I just have a hard time thinking they would “interview” him, have him decide he would like to get back in the dugout, and then ultimately tell him they decided on someone else.

I’ll take the under. By a lot.

I’ll be honest, I would not trust old man Stone with any of my secrets. Dude can’t help himself when it comes to Twitter.

I like Ofman, but pretty sure he’s been wrong with every Sox related nugget the last few years.

Yeah I’m sure Jerry had nothing to do with Coop lasting 102 years

Well when you take away the two best signings, any teams offseason probably looks like shit.

He was one of the names I already had. Bonus of $525K.

Joke prediction: La Russa gets hired; Stone then tweets: "As you may recall, Tony managed the Cardinals against the Astros during the 2005 NLCS."

It is interesting to think that TLR had the biggest steroids operation in baseball under his nose in Oakland and did nothing to stop it... sound like anyone else we are talking about?

Waaaayyy overpaid ?

christ, guys. try using your heads.

Not sure what he did THIS year/offseason to warrant this, since most of the FA signings/trade didn’t pan out, but congrats?

He must be your grandpa then

It was stupid by her but a sports superstar is held to a higher standard than a random girl with 150 followers. If a girl insulted Donald trump and he responded with " kill yourself fat ass b****" people wouldn't say "they both did wrong and he just paid it back so it is ok" but the politician would be blamed more (OK that is a bad example as it probably has happened, but let's assume a regular politician who is held to standards would do this?).

Sign me up for Bochy. Winner of three actual World Series trophies and zero fake ones. Not really all that old. Seems perfect to me.

The goal is to add elite players onto our elite core, not "balance it out" more effectively.

I don't know everything about the great LaRussa, but I don't see his value with the Sox. I don't want him as a manager or consultant. Please, please, let's move on.

We already have all of the names for the period that begins in January. It was supposed to start in July. Just waiting on Cespedes and Colas

The "assbag ring leader" was Cora, as evidenced by Boston also getting busted while he was there. Hinch found out about it, destroyed the monitor on more than one occasion, and supposedly notified higher-ups in the organization. He didn't shut it all the way down, and that's on him. But you're acting like he's Lex Luthor and masterminded the entire operation.

Exactly. It's not like he looked at the tweet, saw it was a woman, and then was like I'm going to humiliate (aka respond to her in a joking matter). He responds the same way to everybody. Bring on as many personalities into baseball as you can and market them. Baseball is going to be hockey in a decade at this rate. You'll have your die hard fans, and then that's it. Also if you're offended by Bauer? Yikes. Then everything in the world must offend you.

yeah Tony LaRussa isn't what this team needs, let's move forwards not backwards
