Lip Man 1 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 20 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Fegan posted 40 minutes ago that the payroll will be closer to $180M. Cheap ass Jerry apparently wants to close the window even earlier than expected. Then this contradicts what Hahn told the press at the GM meetings just yesterday, that he didn't have an exact figure but he expected it to be around last year's total. 15 million less isn't "around last year's" in my opinion. Either Hahn was lying or JR quickly put him in his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been pretty blunt about not being able to throw money at the problem or exploring trades versus free agents to fix the team. JR once again handcuffing the GM by not going all in. NOW is exactly when you throw all of your chips on the table and they won’t do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The lack of flexibility is the result of the poor resource management a few of us have been bitching about for the last three years. This is what was always going to happen: the Sox were going to hit a wall where they simply aren’t able to meaningfully modify the team. They have lost their ability to optimize given new information. In a league whose high-level metagame plays so much like a set of hedges and probabilities, this is obviously a terrible place to be, and belies an embarrassingly poor sense of strategy/level of understanding the game you’re playing. But what Hahn is saying now isn’t dumb or bad, it’s just fatalistic. There are no more “moves” to make. All that’s left is to hope for the best. They can still win, they have the talent to do so — but they need some s%*# to break their way. It’s not unlike finding yourself overcommitted to a mediocre hand in poker. Everyone else still has moves, the Sox just have to hope that the cards they need are on the river. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Have felt for a few months this is going to be a very annoying offseason. They got lucky with Pollock leaving, but I see very little chance for Hahn to make this team a lot better given his previous failures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
