It's not going to accomplish anything because he won't go outside the organization for a replacement.

But Hahn could have had the Rays bench coach who took the Royals manager spot when Matheny got whacked and they supposedly wanted a different voice than Grifol.

Nothing matters. Just move the team to some high growth city with no fresh water.

Put Sox fans out of our misery.

Not when media and fans still find ways to excuse what he has done. His pettiness and incompetence should prevent him from getting another job in baseball.

Amazing to think he was a heavily sought after GM candidate years ago. Hell, even the Dodgers were requesting to interview him.

And now thousands of long time fans didn't care by May 1st.

I’d almost prefer he be made to stick around and wallow in the shit.

Hahn isn't Kenny or Paxson. He may be gone as early as next month if things don't change.

You're seeing the problem with tanking and prospects in real time. Why do you think guys like Robert and Moncada are good? Because you read that they were. They've never done shit.

They had minor league and professional success too, but I understand your point. Most of us aren't going to minor league games and we aren't professional scouts.

That said, something something player development.

Kenny should go too. He's just as culpable making this mess.

Jerry may be a great businessman, but he is a fucking joke as far as winning baseball goes.

Watch it. You're coming dangerously close to calling out every poster who has had a strong opinion on the Bears' draft picks.

You're right, but I just don't see them doing that mid-season, if they do it at all.

Right because Jerry runs a shitshow. Any legit organization would have fired their manager last season. Sometimes you have to make a move just for the sake of making a move, but Jerry and Kenny dont operate that way. Its pathetic.

Kenny isn't going anywhere as long as Uncle Jerry is living. I don't blame anyone else for this but Hahn. The weasel has manipulated the media for years to avoid accountability. He has to own all of this.

Yeah firing Hahn wont change much long term. Will make some fans feel better short term. Like the Bears, nothing is going to truly change until ownership changes.

I think we should all know what Kenny's fingerprints look like. He was aggressive within the confines of a shitty White Sox budget. Every year he was swinging for the fences, and that allowed us to luck into 2005. The running joke is every HoF player from the 90s played for the Sox. Kenny was that guy. He probably checked on Ted Williams' head and Babe's skeleton.

I've never seen a Chicago GM/coach/owner avoid scrutiny like Hahn. If his media savvy matched his abilities as a GM, the Sox would be positioned to win a WS for the rest of this decade. Unfortunately for him, he's finally boxed himself in.

And as long as they are still there its the same show next year and next rebuild just substitute Chris Getz or whoever the next future midlevel gm star in waiting there is. Though maybe a better combo of Rick and Kenny could have spent 50 million on a BP with an era below 7 or whatever it is.

Kenny has been GM or executive VP of a team that hasn't won a playoff series since 2005. It's probably time to clean house completely if for no other reason to give a new GM, from out of the organization, a clean start.

Right. Since 2006, Hahn has won 2 playoff games, Kenny 1.
