DH in the NL

Hahn >>>Preller

No shit! Everyone’s opinion to him is wrong and he tells them they are. Unless he was at the damn table what his opinion is no more reliable than anybody else’s opinion.

And with this reported offer by the White Sox the Miami Marlins sign Bryce Harper to a 10 year $326 million contract. The Marlins use the money they got back in the Stanton deal to give it to Harper. Physical still pending, of course.

If the Sox are serious about free agents next year I feel like they should wait til February to jump in and be the “mystery team.” Being “at the table” in December means you have to wait 2 more months for something to happen because the offer we made wasn’t good enough. Hahn can keep his “at the table” bullshit narrative for himself. Someone in this front office needs to be hired that specializes in getting the deals done.

If they’re for Alonso’s daughter why can’t she post them?

I hope this is via trade pending Machado/Harper signing. Keuchel is a #3 at best. The rest of the free agent starters are #5. None of them help will help accelerate the rebuild.

Are you joking with this?

NSS72, what are your feelings about drafting a guy like Vaughn if the Sox have several options for the same position?

If Sheets, Burger, and Collins seem to be the unanimous choice should we really be looking to draft a player like Andrew Vaughn in the upcoming draft if Adley is selected 1/2? People believe you don’t draft for “need” but when do you stop drafting guys that are projected for the same position?

It took awhile to find the hat Manny is wearing, but here it is.

Definitely not this hat

So you’re not looking to sign a good pitcher, just someone who can be a plug-in?

Why? How many #5 starters does a team need?

Once free agency started I felt the Sox were trying to get both of these guys. I suggested 10 at $375 mil for Harper, and 10 at $300 mil for Machado. Many people thought it would take more than $675 mil to get these two. Where it stands now if the Sox can get both for less than $675 mil I think they’d consider it a win. With Harper in right, Machado at 3B, Eloy in left, Abreu at 1B/DH I feel like they try to trade for a 1 or 2 type pitcher so they can go for the division this year. I was thinking Grienke, but not sure if he’s still considered a 1 or 2 type pitcher anymore?

I’d assume “Hahn speak” is on full blast at one of these things? I’d love to ask a question, but would hate to get a typical Hahn answer.

Has anyone been to the fan questions to management part of Soxfest? I was wondering how that goes about? Do you have to be selected to participate? Is it free with admission? How many people are allowed to participate? Etc.

Wonder who gave him this info?

I never understood the point of these guys getting married when the temptation is so high? Derek Jeter seamed to really understand it.

Was it WSD that said the same thing last week?

If the Sox land both Harper and Machado wouldn’t it be pretty close to the same deal or exactly the same deal? I’d be worried that Machado might be a tad bit upset if Harper ended up getting more from the same team he just signed for. Hopefully Machado isn’t one to let something like that bother him.

Peavy has returned

Pretty sure that Miguel Montero trolling the Cubs.

If we’re asking for change can we sign Shields and trade him back to the Padres for Tatis? They can keep Johnson.

If it’s not good do we really want to hear anymore?

If the Sox are in on both Harper and Machado does that mean there’s no $$$ restrictions for them or have you heard there’s a combined amount they wouldn’t go over?
