The pursuit of free agent Bryce Harper has excited White Sox fans who haven’t enjoyed an American League Central title since 2008 or a winning season since 2012.
But general manager Rick Hahn stressed that the Sox’s mission for long-term success will continue even if they don’t make a franchise-altering acquisition such as signing Harper.
“White Sox fans have suffered a little bit over the last couple years, but we do not want to do anything at this point that’s going to make that suffering for naught,” Hahn said Monday night at the winter meetings.
