A couple random thoughts/observations: If the Sox have been targeting this free agent class for 2+ years, there is no way they could have known back then that none of the big teams -- Dodgers, Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox, Giants, etc. -- were going to be seriously involved in this bidding. They had to have assumed that the winning bid was going to be 9-10 years and $300+ million dollars, and thus seemingly have been prepared to pay that. They wouldn't open with a bid like that, however, but rather something like the reported 7 year deal, and work up from there. The Sox are as surprised as everyone else that no other team has pushed them to go higher. They are ready and willing to go higher, but they are not going to bid against themselves. My guess is Lozano knows that the Sox are prepared to go much higher, and it's driving him absolutely crazy that he can't get more involvement from other teams to push the Sox up. What we saw yesterday was Lozano's frustration finally boiling over. I don't think this stalemate has anything to do with Lozano/Manny not wanting to play for the Sox, but in Lozano knowing he could get more money from the Sox if some other team would just get involved.8 points

Is it me or are these so called professional reporters sounding like spoiled children. First Bruce throwing his toys out the pram at Heyman and now Rogers with this. They should just accept they were caught spreading fake news and move on.4 points

We all know Manny wants to go to the Yankees. The only reason he is entertaining other offers is money. So if he still goes to the Yankees, it was because the other teams, including the White Sox, failed to offer him enough money. It's pretty simple. It's not calling them cheap, it's saying they didn't offer enough.3 points

2018 was definitely challenging, but one thing it did was illustrate the need for some star-power from outside the organization. Thus, why Manny makes sooooo much sense.3 points

Danny Parkins and Jeff Passan are buddies. Passan used to go on Parkins' show weekly in KC and here. You could tell that Parkins got agitated when Bruce went after him.3 points

Hahn has the rare ability to make you feel good about asking your question and the answer sounds eloquent and satisfying. It isn’t until about a week later that you realize you were duped by well-crafted platitudes.3 points

WTF. Why not just tweet a selfie flipping him off Phil? Seems like there’s going to be quite a few writers that burn some bridges in the aftermath of all this.2 points

Did we just "get rid" of Narvaez? I feel like you're simplifying it too much. We got a hell of a bullpen arm for essentially a BAD catcher. Yonder and Jay are also MLB caliber players and there's definite benefits to having them on the roster. We desperately needed guys that can take a pitcher deep in counts and not strikeout like crazy. If those two were utterly worthless talents I'd say you're right but they both make us better.2 points
