74.1% is alot less than 86%. That's about 20 games less than the average SS according your expectation percentages. Like most of this core, injuries have been a huge problem with this team, not just with Tim Anderson. Regardless, this team is a hot mess right now and injuries are a fraction of the overall problem with this franchise.

Tim sure has been apart of alot of losing baseball around these parts. Tim also misses a bunch of baseball games. Yeesh thats alot of missed games. Not good.

I remember reading an article in 2013 stating that Reinsdorf told his son Michael to sell the White Sox and keep the Bulls at the time of his death. That was 10 years ago, the game has changed and revenue streams are much different. So who knows if Michael will still honor that? The sweetheart stadium lease expires after the 2029 season, but the White Sox can extend it one season thru 2030. So the Sox have 6 (maybe 7) more seasons at the GRate. I think if a new ownership group eventually buys out Reinsdorf and his old timer ownership group, the time to buy will be between 2026 and 2027. It usually takes 2-3 years to design and build a new stadium ?️. There is no way the state of Illinois will finance another stadium to Reinsdorf or the new ownership group whomever and whenever they come onto the scene. One can only hope whoever does purchase the White Sox, can privately finance a new stadium and keep them in the Chicagoland area. It’s a shame the inevitable end of the Jerry reign as white Sox majority owner is taking a turn for the worse. The direction and hope for this franchise is the lowest I can ever remember.

Yep. And that one HR drove Hahn to give Leury that ridiculous contract. Hahn has had 3 golden opportunities to improve this flawed roster since that 2021 playoff trip and he has failed mightly. (Two winters and One trade deadline). The triumverate of stupidity will continue to butcher this team as long as they run the show. Wake me up when Hahn and KW pull a Gar/Pax resignation. Because Jerry won't fire his buddies no matter how brutal they are. Sad.

Jerry is an absentee landlord. Results don’t even matter to him at this stage of his life. At this point, he’s just going to be amazed by his profits and take that personal victory to the grave. Results don’t seem matter to Hahn and KW either. Regardless, they know they have job security. Jerry has officially turned into a lesser shrewd Bill Wirtz. The franchise is screwed until Jerry leaves.

Seems like you can only pull up a handful of quality deals Hahn has executed over his tenure. I would have to admit- during the rebuild- I applauded many of his moves. However, he failed to round out a complete roster. He failed to continue to replenish the farm to build up better prospect capital. There are a plethora of bad free agent signings and bad trades as well. To me, you can simply rank a GM based on overall win %. His is the worst during his 10 years as GM as it stands. And most other GM's were fired after 4-5 years with a similar win %. Must be nice to have some sort of accountability. Yes, my response might have been hyperbole. But the #'s are pretty obvious. He's bad. The last time I checked, the Sox STILL don't have a RF. That's on Hahn.

I think finishing 81-81 would be a reach at this point. They will be selling pieces by June. Remember, Jerry recently said- you can still have successful years on the business end of things, he doesn’t mind another 2nd or 3rd place finish. ? Another Rick Hahn rebuild on the way. But it will be classified as a “re-tool” to silence anyone who bashes him for attempting ANOTHER rebuild. Hahn will get fleeced on his deals yet again. Why? Because he’s the worst GM in the MLB. The Sox have the worst owner in the MLB and the worse GM in the MLB. It will remain as such until Hahn resigns. But why would he resign? They’ll keep cancelling Soxfests before they let their ‘fantastic’ GM leave. He has a job where there is no consequences for sucking for 10 years. It’s a dream job! Dear Lord, help us!!

We all know Jerry needs to sell team for any sort of visionary change to take place . Well that’s not happening in the foreseeable future for multiple reasons. So what happens first? Kenny and Rick resigning effective immediately OR do they shift blame on the pitching coaches? The bullpen is a disaster. To me, that’s more on Hahn for once again falsely evaluating talent. (No shock there!) My expectation is that Hasler and Katz will get axed tonight and maybe some players will be DFA’d prior to Anderson and Moncada’s return. Like this shakeup will even I anything. ?

I remember seeing Heyman's article about a potential future White Sox sale. How would this work? Isn't Jerry a majority share holder? Would those other share holders sell their stake in the team as well? It would be a glorious day for us all as this maybe the only way we see Hahn/KW and the rest of that inept front office depart.

Maybe a cold front can come through, take KW and Hahn away and drop down some refreshing weather in the process.

Fans were responsible for the Bulls front office shake up. Now Jerry is alot less hands on with the Bulls these days than he is with the White Sox but fans must keep demanding change. Hahn is horrible, we all know this. Kenny is horrible, we all know this. Modern baseball has passed them by and they don't know how to adapt to it without insulting the fanbase and blaming all of their problems on injuries. Enough is enough. Fans need to chant "FIRE HAHN, FIRE KENNY" anytime they are trailing during a homegame this season. Let those knuckleheads know that we are done with their B.S. and losing ways. Rick Hahn's record as a GM is BRUTAL. And consequently- Kenny's record as the president of this franchise is the same. BOTH NEED TO GO YESTERDAY! LAST YEAR, HELL- 10 years ago! Jerry is holding this franchise hostage and he's too stuborn and/or senile to admit to it.

This is horrible news. I LOVED Dave Wills pre and post game shows. His passion for the Sox was infectious! I listened to a few of his TB Ray broadcasts as well and he was awesome! The Sox should have promoted him, no doubt! May he RIP and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. P.S. nobody hated the Cubs more than Dave Wills. (legend!)

Another friendly reminder that Hahn has an “impressive” record of 700-818 as GM of our White Sox. Any GM with a career .461 winning % after 10 years ideally would be fired. Hell, he should have been fired after 2016. This organizations lack of accountability is inexcusable. Sox fans deserve better.

I know Liam reads through our posts on Soxtalk.. Liam, you got this buddy! We love you, we’re praying for you and we wish you a speedy recovery. The 2023 season is dedicated to you!

I hate tweets like this. Just tell the fans who it is. Stop click baiting everyone into a speculative purgatory. The Angels are 1 of 2 teams. Not sure on the other team? The stadium deal will be TB. Sounds like they love the most recent proposal: https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/tampa-bay-rays-new-ballpark-st-petersburg-hines/?zephr_sso_ott=unZvjp We can only wish an organization as archaic and outdated as the White Sox can hand the keys over to a new ownership group who genuinely cares about winning and the fan base. It’s safe to say we are all tired of the triumvirate of dogcrap known as: Jerry/Kenny/Rick.

Yep. Said the same B.S. last winter when they didn't add any significant players. He also said at the trade deadline in 2022 they'll be aggressive if the right offer comes along. We know how that turned out. The guy is full of crap. His interviews are meaningless. If anything, the more he speaks- the more he patronizes us fans. It's insulting.

My guess is they offer Benintendi a 3 year deal loaded with incentives. WIth 50 RBI's he'll earn a years worth of Jewel-Osco coupons, a $200 gas gift card and a 2 year subscription to HBO Max. Sadly, he'll decline and take a contract elsewhere with real guaranteed $$.

I feel like were all conditioned to be like the 'old man' from A Christmas Story. Disguntled Sox fans. Ownership has wronged the fans for generations. Especially when the Sox traded Bullfrog for four-eyed Shottenhoffer, a utility infielder.

Why add talent in your contention window, when you can subtract talent and save money? This is a no brainer to Jerry’s wallet. At this stage, every Sox fan should be pissed. I can’t believe we endured that dogcrap rebuild just for Jerry to cry poor when it’s time to compete. Jerry, do us all a favor and sell the damn team.

When isn't he having a bad day? Dude is awful at his job.

To further piss off White Sox fans even more, I’m waiting for the following news to drop soon: “BREAKING, White Sox bring Ventura out of retirement, will be their next manager. Nightengale first to report” It sounds silly. But nothing is out of the realm of possibilities for this inept White Sox front office. They suck. A triumvirate of clowns?

I don’t. But the sad part is, we can only hope these knuckleheads finally connect on a trade. I have plenty of doubts.. They’ll find more ways to screw it up.

How the Hell is this guy still the GM? If he wants to re-earn our respect, he can start by resigning. But since that won’t happen, a bold trade or 2 this winter would be nice. This team is flawed beyond comprehension. This administration has failed us time and time and time and time again. Perhaps the 18th times a charm? ??

This was expected, but glad it’s official. How about the next issue? When is the announcement that Hahn is let go from his duties as VP of baseball ops? Or better yet, when will KW announce that he has resigned from his duties as president of baseball ops? Or better yet, when will the White Sox be listed for sale? Changes across the board are needed and long overdue. Not just the manager and coaching staff. Heck, even if Jerry doesn’t sell, it’ll be nice to have Michael Reinsdorf takeover and clean house.
