Happy Anniversary

We’re one week shy of a year since Jerry Reinsdorf fired Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn. As I recall, Reinsdorf said he didn’t wait for the end of the season because he wanted to give Hahn a head start on getting his next job. Unless Hahn is working undercover, his ex-boss needn’t have bothered. And didn’t Reinsdorf say the Sox wouldn’t be in the market for Shohei Ohtani? Of course not, teams with a record of 31-98—including last night’s 5-2 loss to the Tigers—don’t go after a player like Ohtani. Ohtani has 40 homeruns and 92 RBIs. Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benintendi are the top two RBI producers on the Sox, with a combined total of 95. The top three Sox homerun hitters—Luis Robert Jr., Vaughn and Benintendi—total 40 on the season. And yet baseball allows Reinsdorf to maintain control of the team. Go figure.
