Loyalty? What loyalty? The dude was just named Executive of the Year by his peers and he's not allowed to choose the club's next manager which is part of his job description.

I don't really give a shit what you're buying or not buying.

No shot on the latter.

Hahn didn't pick La Russa. That's not true at all. Hahn got his nuts cut off and he should go elsewhere ASAP.

Yeah. He's afraid to hire Hinch because of the "cheating scandal". Jerry Reinsdorf is a fucking coward. A short-sighted one at that.

He’s likely quiet because he deals in logic. He thought it would be Hinch. Jerry Reinsdorf is cheap. Everyone knows it. I didn’t know he was a fucking coward too.

Either would be fine with me. He’s held the organization back for my entire life.

Kenny Williams has no desire to do the General Manager job again.

The best was when La Russa traded for Luis Alejandro Basabe instead of Luis Alexander Basabe.

If we are going to be sanctimonious over cheating, we shouldn't want La Russa either.

Hahn wants AJ Hinch.

For two years maybe. Or until Tony decides that 200 baseball games is just too tough at this stage of his life. I have no doubt that TLR would be fine managing in the dugout. The fact that they would sign up for a short-term marriage is very puzzling though.

If Tony La Russa becomes the next manager of the White Sox, Rick Hahn should resign. He'd have another gig in 5 minutes.

Probably 2021 in the minors and up in 2022

Cespedes could be ready pretty quick. Colas is the better fit with his left handed bat though IMO.

Sounds great in theory but it's not possible under the rules

I think they prioritize Colas and Cespedes goes elsewhere. He'll go somewhere where he can get to the majors quickly. I don't think that's in Chicago.

I disagree. The next period doesn't start until January 2022. Colas is 22 years old already. Why would they want to wait? Just land Colas in this period whenever he gets freed up IMO.

I like Ben Bailey but his biggest skill was walking a lot in the DSL vs teenagers. He's never even played stateside. Yes, these guys are all better than him.

All three are better prospects than Bailey

This is what the White Sox have committed: Norge Vera RHP Cuba ($1.5 million) Victor Quezada 3B DR ($525K) Manual Guariman C Ven ($475K) Dario Barrero OF Ven ($350K) Adrian Gil RHP Ven ($250K) Gabriel Rodriguez OF DR ($100K) Antonio Jimenez OF ($90K) That's just over $3 million and the club has $5,398,300 total to spend.

I think it's just a matter of teams not having money to give him. He was planning on signing for real money. Nobody really has it available. He'd be better off playing 3 years in Japan and signing a big league deal at 25 honestly. Also, teams aren't allowed to trade for space during the next two periods. Some clubs are really hurt by this because they're overcommitted. San Diego for example has had to renege on a few offers because they won't have the money.

Why would I write about Ozzie? Rick Hahn said at the press conference that he isn't a candidate.

I wrote about the latest international prospect to defect from Cuba and how it relates to the White Sox: https://www.futuresox.com/2020/10/26/white-sox-reportedly-interested-in-16-year-old-cuban-of-luis-pino/

I'm not questioning @Harold's Leg Liftat all. He gets good info. I'm questioning the decision making process of the organization if they spend real $$ on a backup catcher. Bringing McCann back makes very little sense.
