Orlando Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 4 minutes ago, fathom said: Hahn also going to be on with Kap at 10 today Is this a damage control and concession tour? The way he is being quoted seems like it. "There are other players we are talking to you" " Some outside of the Org. think even without Machado we had a good offseason" Sounds like an insecure GM. Maybe I am over reacting but he sure doesn't seem as confident as he sounded at SoxFest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Orlando said: This really annoys me. You traded for Manny's brother in law that didn't fit the depth chart and help a division rival shed salary. You over paid for his best friend coming off of a down year. You traded a young catcher for a 2 year reliever and replaced him with James Mccan. You traded for an average at best 5th starter. You paid Kelvin Herrera a very comparable annual salary to Ottavino. No Hahn, without Machado this wasn't a good offseason by any stretch of the imagination. And guess what Hahn? Until the White Sox get with the times and give a 100+ contract to someone, there wont be a parade. Agreed. Without Machado, I don't really want Alonso nor Jay on the team. The only moves I would have liked is the Herrera deal. Colome I think was a good pickup and could likely be flipped for more than a backup catcher at some point if they want to trade him.

shipps Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hahn can’t actually believe they had a good off season up to this point. He can not actually believe that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighurt574 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Without Machado or Harper, we're still a year or two away, it's really about developing the current guys anyway. We were never going to win the offseason unless we made a big splash. Edited January 28, 2019 by bighurt574 mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're a couple games better pre-Eloy, almost every move was a lateral move but their bullpen is deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn is doing what he has to do - sounding positive and not desperate on a day following Soxfest when the local media will give him time to be on the air.

bmags Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Probably a little better than last year but that's knowing the injuries that occurred last year. Hahn said a lot of versions of this quote that sounded better so maybe this was just one that got away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaRoache Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Rick Hahn talking this wimp talk after the fans leave. I am still confident as they tea leaves still favor us, and Hahn isn't dumb enough to string fans along with their efforts and lose all trust and credibility.

Steve9347 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The Hahn apology tour has already begun. Manny is clearly signing this week with another team. The Bulls and White Sox are a fucking joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 A lot of what Hahn has said this past week sounds like he's preparing fans for disappointment. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because I never thought that either player was remotely interested in signing here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hahn said that there are other players they are talking too that would make us better. That sure sounds like free agency.

EloyJenkins Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Doom and Gloom Monday? Good lord man, they are still in this. I know frustration has set in on the waiting game, but realistically Lozano was always playing this game. Herrera, Colome and Nova all have a chance to be upgrades and a Jon Jay style player is a nice bridge to get .1 WaR players off the field until Robert/Gonzalez/Adolfo are ready. Wait until Spring training starts and these "3 to 4" moves shake out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
