- Rick Hahn, when asked whether they would pursue free agents or stay true to their plan of intentional losing if they were in contention at the All-Star Break

I appreciate his honesty.

That's a poor question. The All-Star break is typically not a good time to go after free ajents.

Hahn is a poor man's Theo(non-Jew) but I think he will do a great job with the rebuild

Give leash a break. He became a baseball fan last year.

As opposed to you, who became an expert last Sunday during a fantasy draft.

Also, it actually says "if they were in contention at the All Star break."

Reading is FUNdamental!

Lets say the White Sox are 1 game out of the Wild Card at the break. What free agent would you like to see them go after at that time, leash?

The plan is to win as many games as possible this season.

They won't do it, so it's moot.

I'm praising Hahn. We're all on the same side here.

Mind you, this is the idiot that thinks a team that won 78 wins in 2016 and subtracted 10+ fWAR (Sale/Eaton) has a realistic chance to win 75+ games in 2017.

Leash still doesn't understand that there are no free agents to pursue at the all star break. He'll eventually get it.

Oh, come on. Obviously, I meant trading for players who would become free agents.

Rick Hahn is going to turn the White Sox around. Give it time.

You're in good hands, and I'll be happy for you guys when it all comes together.

Won't all players become free agents at some point?

You are having a rough time here.

No it is not. If this team was able to contend, it would be.

Of course I can do better. With your posts in this thread, I really don't need to though.

In the past 12 months they have traded away quasi top 100 prospect for James Shields. Only four veterans have been let go in trades: Zack Duke, Chris Sale, Adam Eaton and Peter Bourjos.

There is absolutely no reason to believe they are serious about rebuilding at this time. Especially with two impending free agents and a $15m closer still on the roster. If moves are made down the row we can talk again, but right now it is undeniably clear the "rebuild" was a false narrative created to make letting go of front office agitators palatable to the fans.

The sooner you accept this the better.

If true, then they should probably stop going on talk shows and saying they're rebuilding.

I think Hahn wants to rebuild. I think Kenny and Jerry are keeping him from going against that 100%, so you get this half-rebuild bullshit.


I agree that until more players are traded, this is not a rebuild. Makes no sense for Robertson, Melky, and Frazier to be on this roster right now.

I think the growing up in Highland Park and attending New Trier and Michigan out of state threw him off.

I find your faith in a GM who couldn't win/build around a core of Sale/Quintana/Eaton/Rodon/Abreu very questionable.

Rodon is not yet a "core" player.
