Quite literally the owner of the worst record. EVER

You and me both.

What's his career record as GM again?

Which is really all that matters. If MLB is mocking them for it, they are obviously missing something here.

Bold of you to overestimate Jerry.

It sure as hell explains how so many guys come here and have career worst years, BY FAR once they do. We are the 1950's Brooklyn Dodgers, while the rest of MLB is 70 years in the future from us.

Weren't you just posting that no one would want to play here if other people found out they treated their players badly?

Or they feel like the Sox endangered their own careers and want to speak out.

Pham has never had a great rep anyway, which is why is a roster margin guy.

That's not crazy.

yeah, I have definitely gotten a cycle of interactions from other fans. First laughter, then mockery, and now lately pity.

If Rick Hahn wants to work in baseball, someone will hire him soon enough. Baseball is too incestual in it's hiring practices for someone not to take a chance on him at some point.

And if he didn't like things, he could have left. He waited around to take a promotion when he was a huge star candidate around baseball. He turned down interviews with St Louis and The Mets IIRC at that point in time. He also could have quit at any time after and looked elsewhere. This isn't a Scientologist 1 billion year contract we are talking about here.

It's the ultimate payback to the Orioles for going cheap.

Nah. At some point you know what you sign up for and you co-sign to it.

Yes, because you listen to instruction so well.

This can't be liked enough.

"But it's ok because Chris is different in some unspecified way."

Also a great point.

And again, we have gotten a ton of empty platitudes of how things are changing, and things are going to change, but no one ever seems to ask the follow question as to how. These guys all know the Sox historic weaknesses and never ask the next question about exactly how are they going to do something different or better here in this specific situation.

So the players are too dumb to realize this? Because they sure seem to think so.
