MLB Fans Were Ruthless After White Sox Let Go of Longtime Executives Ken Williams, Rick Hahn

Fans held nothing back while celebrating the White Sox’s major front office shakeup.

The White Sox made a major organizational shakeup on Tuesday, parting ways with longtime executives Ken Williams and Rick Hahn.

Hahn had been in the organization since 2002 and was named the team’s general manager in ’12. On the same day, Williams, who had been the GM since ’00, was named the team’s executive vice president.

Since 2012, Chicago has made just two playoff appearances, never advancing past the American League Divisional Series.

Despite undergoing a rebuild which was expected to be bearing fruit at this stage, the White Sox sit in fourth in the American League Central and are 27 games below .500.

With the fan base growing increasingly frustrated over the past few years, news of the two executives being relieved of their duties was a breath of fresh air. White Sox fans and media took to social media to celebrate the franchise’s decision, and many did not mince words when sharing their thoughts on the matter.
