Chisoxfn Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Maybe this was next level genius - TLR was demanding a left handed bat and more relievers, Hahn called his bluff and gave him nothing, with the hope that TLR is going to announce his retirement later today, which quite frankly, would be such a massive step in the right direction, I could leave with no other moves. But in reality - this really completes the 12 months of dysfunction that truly got real at least years deadline and have just steadily derailed from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can keep playing this game Imagine if the Nats didn't swoop in at the last with $100k for Soto. In 2016 Imagine if the front office didn't trade for Shields Imagine if the front office guaranteed the money to Machado. And one more for you, Imagine if KW didn't draft Mitchell from LSU and took Mike Trout instead. Imagine that lineup? Moncada would be the 2nd baseman.

caulfield12 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Raisel Iglesias to the Braves after just extending him this offseason. Dodgers got cash back for Lamb, lol.

Capital G Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 IMO so much of our issues are drafting and development. We can't trade our good prospects for rentals. After our top prospects the minors tank hard. This means we either overpay for a rental or don't and get beat by other teams' offers. Other than Vaughn who was our last good draft pick that is contributing at the major level? TA? I'm not even going to count Rodon when all we got was one good year. When was the last time we developed a mid round pick into something? Madrigal Burdi Burger Fulmer Collins Blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Baez and Eduardo Rodriguez clearly not the right decision, either. And Dayton Moore keeps his job almost like a cult leader/self-help guru guy...with it being born again Christianity he's selling.

whitesoxwinner Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: After as bad of an off-season as you could have imagined - which was obvious to even the most casual baseball fans - the White Sox do nothing at the trade deadline. This from the organization that talked so much about supplementing this group the past two off-seasons. Taking advantage of the window. Going for the title. Since the Trade Deadline of last year, Rick Hahn has been worse at his job than if we installed my dog as GM and told him to step on the face of the floor mat of the guys he wanted to sign or acquire. It's honestly hard to believe how bad Hahn has been. This is what we spent years losing for. So this idiot can make terrible trades, evaluate MLB talent as if he was blind and deaf, and never spend on premium talent. As Ive argued countless times, rick hahn (and especially whoever is doing the major league scouting) has been bad for almost their entire tenures. Doesn’t know how to supplement a roster. At least now we know for sure that there will no playoff series won under his watch. We now know the only thing we can root for is for the team to be sold and front office to be completely replaced.
