Regarding the two prized possessions, the only thing we can hope for is the White Sox fully expected (like everybody) that Harper would sign after Machado. They gave it the old college try to get Machado at a discount and are (hopefully) fully prepared to pony up for Harper.
And nothing that was said by KW or HAhn gives me any reason to believe Harper is even an option right now. If I had to be Harper was just waiting for MAchado so he can tell the Phillies beat that and i'm yours.

The thing I just can't get my head around is they offered 250/8 thats what 31.25/yr? If you make such an offer with an opt out after year 5 wouldn't that say you you're ultra supreme optimistic that he is gonna be a top 5-10 in the league over the next 5 and almost assuredly opt out? So if you match SD's offer you would be saving 1.25/yr the next 5 years by adding the 2 addition years and 50 million that has maybe a 2-5% chance of actually being paid out?

I know its not exactly apples to apples but the Bulls were willing to give the sack of shit Jabari Parker 20 million/year but the Sox not give MAnny Machado 30

I'm a die-hard Sox fan and am extremely disappointed. However, if you don't support your team when it hits rock bottom, then you weren't a fan in the first place. Don't get me wrong this stings, but you're not a die-hard if you're going to switch to another team that quickly.
Its incredibly hard to continue to support a team when there is no indication they give a shit

Honestly my ask to Sox fans do not take it out on Alonso and Jay. Hell maybe not even on HAhn and KW. It's ownership. Don't go to the games. Don't spend money on clothing. They don't want to spend the money then maybe we shouldn't give them anymore.

Embarrassing day for the organization

Today... is not the day

My biggest thing is the Sox could've cooled all the expectations down all winter by down playing our interest and if we got one or the other or both it could be a holy shit moment. Instead they embraced it and promoted their interest to us the fans. Barring an insane offer of like 375 million they better get this done. And considering the Tatis deal they better not lose out again to SD

Just now, GermanSoxFan said:
Maybe he is trolling the Phillies fanbase. They are mad that they don't get any top tier FA and he gets revenge for last years' Superbowl.
But he hasn't tweeted anything in year. I would've thought the regular season ass whooping the Saints gave Philly or the Saints playoff comeback would've been strong chances to troll them if thats the case lol

If false, I wonder why that guy would choose the White Sox fan base to troll like this.
Its just so odd and weird, he has 2 tweets in the last 11 months and their both about the Sox signing both...?
-
Everyone has that 1 person that gets to them could Preller be that guy for the Sox after how the deal with SD went and turned out so maybe the Sox are willing to get out of their comfort zone to make sure they don't lose again to SD?

If that got the deal done why wouldnt the white sox do it?
A dangerous game of chicken being played by the Sox to stand their ground?
-
So it appears to be known MAchado's preffered place in Chicago and really doesn't want to go west. Now this guy is saying the PAdres are willing to go where MAnny wants in years but doesn't mention money. Doesn't this just scream an agent leak to get the Sox to go from 8/240-260 up to 9/270-290?

But who's the third man?!?!
Oh my god is that new bullpen coach Kerry Wood...! lol
-
I bet we are all just crazy over reacting and panicking. MAnny probably already decided and told the Sox he's signing but just stalling because once he signs he has to report to camp. I feel not neccesarily the locker but the locker location is proof of this.Get a couple extra weeks of vacation in and then sign. My guess a week from Sunday or Monday

So let’s get a topic going -
sox somehow manage to freeze hell over and sign both Harper and machado. What’s our outlook? Financially how do we look? Do we launch our team Into top 10 fandoms?
I mean without being being negative and let’s be realistic here, we know we CAN sign both but what are the odds?

With two superstars we wouldn't be at $100 million?
I couldn't disagree more with that. Even with one of them, they will get much more aggressive with adding dollars. If we add two, we are looking at least at $125m, if not $150.
This is before ARb numbers of course. However Abreu and possibly Jones and Castillo will be off the books. Thats The 13 million for Jones and Castillo are options that are included in that 26...

I promise you it won't be, especially if we land a whale.
Well ya obviously lol. Thats why i want to be greedy and get both. We still wouldn't be 100 million

Tying up 40-50ish percent of future payroll doesn't seem like a great idea to me.
Their payroll is at 26 million for 2020.
