White Sox general manager Rick Hahn ‘disappointed’ in how the trade deadline went for the clubhouse.
This season, Hahn expressed a desire to improve their bullpen. For outside pundits it looked like the White Sox also hadr an everyday right fielder, second baseman or starting pitcher on their proverbial checklist. There are reasons to that, as Hahn indicated it was a"different market" this season between sellers, playoff changes and players with expiring contracts the club assumed would be available, but weren't.
It wasn't a money issue. Hahn said they did not go to Jerry Reinsdorf for more money. In the end, Hahn claims they were asked for many of their"premium prospects in exchange for rentals" that didn't line up with their intentions. The White Sox came into this season with MLB.com's worst-rated farm system in the league, headlined by Colson Montgomery and Oscar Colás. While Hahn claims they weren't"prospect clutching," they weren't ready to dive into their piggy bank of prospects.
The Sox feel they received a"quality arm" in Diekman that can provide, at the very least, diversity to the bullpen, since he and Tanner Banks are now the only two left-handed pitchers in the pen. Hahn is aware teams around the league, and more importantly the AL Central, got better. The Minnesota Twins brought in pitchers
