NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn is a popular executive at the winter meetings as he continues to discuss his plans to rebuild the White Sox by selling off its best parts including ace Chris Sale.
But Hahn won't budge from his asking price, at least not publicly.
"When you have negotiations with other clubs about potential trade fits you have to have that line you aren't going to go below, otherwise you're compromising too much in terms of value," Hahn said Monday afternoon.
In other words, whatever the White Sox were asking for back in July, in exchange for their top players, hasn't changed despite a sense of urgency to get the rebuild going.
