Summary

Without a doubt the biggest episode we've released to the internet, Dave & Carl talk with the man behind the best offseason a Major League Baseball team has ever had, White Sox General Manager, Rick Hahn.

I'm not going to say Rick divulged organizational secrets and basically guaranteed the Sox would sign Cuban slugger Luis Robert, but I'm also not going to say he didn't. 

Chicago White Sox GM, long-time friend of the show, Rick Hahn (3:02); Was Rick making fun of Dave for watching single-A ball in April? (40:12); Reaction to the Cubs series wins against both the Cardinals and Brewers (46:29)!

0:40.0

let me just let me just stop you there. I have been in some

0:45.0

kind of partnership with you for five about five years now.

0:49.0

I've known you for an extremely long time. I'd say

0:52.0

You are not the type of guy who likes to prepare. You're more off the cuff.

I think that's when you're at your best. And I know because of that, you're just sweating fucking balls right now.

I'm sweating balls because I don't know what I don't know what I'm gonna say.

1:21.0

It's honoring probably the greatest world series championship ever coming back.

1:27.4

It is. Everyone is all things considered. So I'm sitting it out tonight because I respect the hell out of you.
