Texsox Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I'd love to see Larussa or Hahn get that gig. Maybe both of them. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I'll always remember him as the guy who traded away his own kid. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he told his wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Athletic piece sure sounds like it could be written about the White Sox in multiple facets of what went wrong. https://theathletic.com/3496709/2022/08/10/tigers-gm-al-avila-fired/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but seems like a whole lot of folks here wanted that cheat and would never want Ozzie back. If nothing else Ozzie wouldn’t sleep on the job and nor would his players.

caulfield12 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Mickey777 8 hours ago dmazcomp, I had the Extreme pleasure of sitting next to Dave Dombrowski at a Salem Red Sox game when he headed up the Sox. Couldn’t have been nicer! Talked baseball with him for 9 innings interrupted only by him posing for pictures with other fans. He had completed the Chris Sale trade and he told that the white Sox really wanted Benintendi in that trade but eventually settled for Yoan Moncada. One of the the best baseball nights of my life!!! mlbtraderumors.com Figures Hahn would get that trade wrong twice and NOT get Devers, the one true difference maker.

Can’t the same be said about all of Avila’s draft choices? If you are wrong 75% of the time in pretty much any job, you will lose it eventually. The one obvious mistake besides numerous FA calls was Jobe over Mayer. In the end, every time Hahn rolls the dice, he loses, doubles down, then makes things even worse somehow.

He wasn't #1, but Hahn got 2 top 20 prospects. The trade was light on 2nd tier prospects. The Reds got 1 top 15 for Castillo who wasn't as good and signed for shorter term; also much stronger in 2nd tier prospects. Hopefully Kopech develops as a TOR starter There really hasn't be a long stretch in his tenure where Hahn couldn't have justifiably been fired; almost every year there's been at least 1 major avoidable gaffe.

bmags Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Avila always was a weird hire. Like Dick Williams with the Reds, Avila was an old school guy trying to learn new concepts, but you really don't want a learning curve in a rebuild. Just get the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would speculate Tony not liking him played a big role as well. Ditto Madrigal, Mercedes and a few other rookies. If Tony likes you, you're in like Lynn (or Leury, Liam, Lamb, etc.). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was because the last two starts were particularly brutal, broke up winning streaks, and were the sole reason why the White Sox lost. Was he a fall guy? Perhaps. But I also just think it was the right call to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
