GM Rick Hahn takes blame for White Sox's worst start (7-19) since 1950. scotgregor has the story.
The White Sox gutted the roster in 2016 and '17, opting for a rebuild and bringing in a boatload of young talent. Off to their worst start since 1950, irate Sox fans are calling for another change -- this time at the top.
It's gotten so bad, fans wearing paper bags over their heads were spotted in the announced crowd of 11,060."Put it on me," Hahn said."That's the job. It's the absolute gig. Put it on me. I'll tell you this, let's make this real clear, it sure as heck isn't on Pedro and his coaching staff. They are doing everything in their power to prepare, focus on what's controllable, what's fixable, addressing the problems as they arise.
"We're upset," the GM said."We're feeling every emotion in the book, ranging from rage to disappointment and we've done perhaps the exact opposite of what we set out to do in terms of regaining our fans' confidence and trust in what we're about here. At the end of the day, we have to win. That's the way we're going to earn this back. We can sit here and talk about how it's early.
If it doesn't, and chairman Jerry Reinsdorf gets rid of Williams and Hahn -- the duo have combined for almost 50 years in the White Sox's front office -- it will be a dramatic change.
