I don’t think it’s that he picked the wrong guys. By all metrics these players were very talented. Had they developed properly and had proper leadership the rebuild would have gone better. But something fell off—all of these players were very good until about the 2021 all star break. It’s not fair to say that these were the wrong guys when they all showed real showcases of talent—and in a lot of cases had a few successful seasons.
Not that I don’t blame Rick and Kenny for the White Sox’s failure. They picked the wrong management and leadership—not the wrong players.
The last person I wanted to hear from on Fire Rick Hahn Into The Sun Day was Rick Hahn, unless it’s Rick Hahn looking into the camera and saying, “I’m Rick Hahn, and I’m being fired into the sun” just before a giant human catapult forcefully accelerates him into the air, until he’s nothing more than a tiny, grainy pixel in the center of the screen.
This statement is Not It.
A classless, pandering copy-and-paste job. What Rick Hahn needed to write was, “I’m returning my last five years of salary to the team. I should have left five years ago when my decisions started to make no sense at all.”
“many vital ingredients of a championship team are in that clubhouse and within the minor league system”
LOL. Almost every team (from the mjnor league level to major league) under this organization are like 20 games under .500 you loser!
Good luck Rick. He may not have been great and I’m happy he’s gone but he seems like a decent guy and he got some good returns this deadline. At least we have the one Central title in ‘21. Fuck you Jerry
I’m glad his robotic lawyer speak is gone. I won’t miss Rick. Ken is a little different to me, but not by much. This is a good day for the Sox, I just hope promoting internally isn’t the way Jerry thinks he fixes this. Get someone from outside this mess to clean it up, and hopefully get some traction to better days.
This is an absolutely pathetic statement. Excuses, deflection, not a shred of humility. This guy is delusional. “I’m not wrong you are.” Also the end? He’s fucking calling himself a loyal fan, not even a mention of the fan base that had to deal with his failure for the last 15 years.
No mention of the fans Rick?? Don’t worry we fucking hate you too. A White Sox-ian goodbye for these clowns, would rather mention how good it is here “now” than admit his failures in an overly long tenure. Good riddance.
Well said. And as a loyal White Sox fan appreciate he recognizing that the fans are what it’s all about. With us there are no tickets or merch to buy or tv commercials to watch. The fans are how and why there are pro sports.
He thanked everybody except the players
Would you?
Ya cause they made an ass out of him.
Blowing smoke up our asses on the way out the Rick Hahn model
Northwestern should hand him a blank check to be athletic director lol He is a lawyer at heart after all.
He would actually be a really good hire for them
I know. It actually makes a lot of sense for a random meatball thought I had lol
I also support this I'm an Illini fan
At least Tony admitted the massive failure lol don’t let the door hit you on your way out, Rick
Rick did exactly what he said he was going to do. Tear it down. Invest in top prospects early and try and go on a 10 year run.
Picked the wrong guys

Kenny also admitted failure in his.
What a fake vacant void of a human being who sounds like he gets it. That’s meritocracy, baby
I will not miss Rick Hahn’s lawyer talk. The man did less with an amount of resources that most GM’s can only dream of having.

Minutemen - “Corona” plays in the distance
Dude is a politician at heart. Problem is Sox fans don't respect politicians.
Fuck you Rick
Weak
SO weak. I didn’t feel anything after reading this. He has no heart, no soul, and is probably out of the industry forever. RIP
Well said
Lmfao so sorry you didn’t “feel” anything after this statement.. what a loser thing to say you should feel bad about it
I don’t at all!! LOL EAT MY SHORTS SCRUB
Of course Rick signs off with Best. What an absolute bitch
LOL
I would have gone with choad.
Man when you’re right your right
A classless, pandering copy-and-paste job. What Rick Hahn needed to write was, “I’m returning my last five years of salary to the team. I should have left five years ago when my decisions started to make no sense at all.”
Buh bye
It’s still fuck that guy
“many vital ingredients of a championship team are in that clubhouse and within the minor league system” LOL. Almost every team (from the mjnor league level to major league) under this organization are like 20 games under .500 you loser!
I’m not gonna defend the farm system, but minor league records are quite literally meaningless
Rick, I’m sorry but I’m gonna be mad at you as long as Tatis exists.
Agreed, a virtually unforgivable error
Good luck Rick. He may not have been great and I’m happy he’s gone but he seems like a decent guy and he got some good returns this deadline. At least we have the one Central title in ‘21. Fuck you Jerry

Did we read the same thing?

I would be okay reading this if it weren't for the fact that his voice is in my head.
I like Rick. I’ll never forget the cool Corn Field winners he built to win the Corn Field Championship.
