Kyyle23 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 He is no longer employed, so it isn’t like we can ask for him to be fired anymore. I dunno, I feel like it is implied now and it doesn’t matter. The horse is dead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Hahn didn't get a pass. His finger prints are all over this travesty. He sucked ass at his job and got fired for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) Did Rick Hahn have one of the worst offseasons in baseball? I could swear that was Chris Getz. Rick Hahn contributed to this mess and was already fired for it. It’s all on Getz now. Edited September 2 by WhiteSox2023 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I doubt anyone cares to interview him. Getz hides from the media enough as it is and Reinsdorf hides even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Sounds like the exact same argument most voters are having with themselves these days...evil of two lessors, or the lesser of two evils, not sure which is which. At any rate, it's a pretty sad state of affairs. Not even sure if Getz has the cojones to put up with this constant (anticipated) negativity over the next 2-3 seasons. No way they're paying him anywhere close to $1 million per year, although running interference for Reinsdorf and son might be worth approximately half that. I guess if Brooks Boyer can proudly take his money, TLR, Grifol, so can Getzie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Hahn. Williams. Getz. All part of the same organization that has had this franchise in reverse for the past 15 years. Change is needed so badly, but it isn't happening. And it won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) 2 hours ago, Boopa1219 said: I’ll bite, what made Getz offseason so horrible? Plenty of GMs inherit messes and manage to not have historically awful seasons. There was plenty of roster churning for Getz to get blame for this. Pretty no-brainer of an answer.

WhiteSox2023 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) 4 hours ago, Boopa1219 said: I’ll bite, what made Getz offseason so horrible? Take a look at all of his acquisitions from the offseason, how they performed, and where they are now. He DFAed about half of them because they were so bad. He wasted a total of $25 million dollars on garbage. He had two good acquisitions, Fedde and DeJong and he ended up trading Fedde for a guy that can’t hit or play defense. Trading Mena for a fourth outfielder in Fletcher over Jake McCarthy was aLao another terrible move. Getz’s terrible offseason and moves have no doubt led to this record setting mess.

TheFutureIsNear Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Yeah I’d happily take Hahn back over Getz any day. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying he’s a good GM. There were for sure A LOT of bad moves, but there were some good ones as well. Going into 2020 this team was set up with a good amount of young talent that SHOULD have worked out. Organizational failure to develop players is probably the #1 issue for this team’s demise. Moncada, Robert, Vaughn, TA, Kopech, Cease, Lopez, Gio (probably missing some)…I don’t think anyone saw all of those players failing in some way or another. And I don’t know how that was the GM’s fault. But again, there were definitely bad moves and Hahn deserved to be fired…but he for sure had the team looking like it was going in a very good direction at 1 point. Given Getz’s track record of identifying talent (and his poor job of directing the minors) to acquire so far I have pretty much 0 faith in his ability to ever get us close to that point.
