This just seems to be the bottoming out and the reality that there will be an entirely new regime starting in the off-season. The amount of money and resources this team has put on mediocre and depth guys vs. focusing on top talent is just mind blowing (and that is all on Rick - I can give him a pass for the TLR fiasco but he is not innocent).

hi8is Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I remember when it was Hahn’s first trade deadline as GM… and I thought: ”Good for him, he’s showing the league that he isn’t afraid to hold his cards if other GM’s don’t meet his price. That’s a good way to earn some respect for years to come.” Well it has quickly become apparent that in reality that he just plane sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Meh.
