Chicago White Sox News: Rick Hahn continues to insult fanbase

For every team, agent, executive, and player in Major League Baseball, it has become fairly apparent that the Chicago White Sox will be sellers at the Major League Baseball Trade Deadline on August 1.

Just don’t ask White Sox general manager Rick Hahn.

In what has become a trend, Hahn once again insulted the team’s fanbase with a media scrum with reporters on Tuesday before the White Sox’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Hahn was asked about where things stand with the team and issued this response.

"“We’ve won a decent amount of series the last two months, but it hasn’t proven to be enough yet,” he said. “I’m not going to put a marker in the sand and say, ‘We need to rattle off 10 (wins) out of 14 or we’re doing this.’ But at the same time, we can see the calendar, we can see the games back, and you want to have a reason to believe that this thing’s going to get right between now and Aug. 1.”-Rick Hahn via Daily Herald"

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn continues to spite the team’s fanbase.

Hahn wants fans to completely ignore the dreadful start that the team got off to during the month of April. And, for all the talk Hahn had regarding the team being “better” in May and June, the results have not appeared in the division standings.

Entering play on Wednesday, the White Sox are 13 games under the .500 mark on the season and 7 games behind the Cleveland Guardians for first place in the American League Central. The low point for the White Sox season came earlier this year when the team was 14 games under .500. All this to say that despite the improved results for the White Sox during the months of May and June, the team has only made up one game.

Don’t fall for Hahn trying to pull the wool over your eyes. The White Sox are a bad baseball team. There is only one path that the White Sox have ahead of the trade deadline and it is to be sellers.

This month will mark the end of the White Sox contending window and Hahn deserves a majority of the blame. In true White Sox logic, in ten failed seasons on the job, Hahn will now be allowed to tear down what he built and restart. Loyalty over accountability, the White Sox way.
