White Sox general manager Rick Hahn often speaks in loops. Maybe it's actually waves. He often answers questions in the same winding way that his Cubs counterparts Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer sometimes do, taking his listeners on a journey with real answers buried in long sentences.
Kenny Williams speaks in quotes. Hahn, though funny, is a little more careful.
But in late July, with the trade deadline approaching, Hahn sat down with reporters in the White Sox dugout and gave a stark, honest state of the team address. The Sox were 46-48 at the time and headed nowhere slowly.
