That wasn't your argument at all. Go look at what you posted.

Just for the sake of argument, Jason Heyward signed a deal with the Cubs at his age 26 season, and came in boosting a 30.7 career WAR. Bryce Harper is looking to sign a contract at his age 26 season, and has a career WAR of 27.3 Just food for thought.

Cue Sox fan frenzy in 3...2....1....

At age 32+, you’re most likely paying for previous production, not future production. Love Jose, but not sure the long term fit is there.

That wasn’t the debate we had last week, at all. Now you are moving the goal posts. I said originally if Q and Bowman were both fired, I would have celebrated the move. Q going and Bowman staying was a mistake. That’s when you decided to enter the discussion and proclaim Q was 70% to blame for the mess the Blackhawks are in. Which is the where the debate started, and where I believe you are wrong.

And you were wrong then.

Probably still feeling all the roster mistakes Q made. Don’t worry, Bowman will fix it.

How they gave this guy 9 million is beyond me...

You and me both. Given what we’ve seen the last decade from the Sox, nothing can be considered a given.

While I agree, it still doesn’t mean they’ll win more than 76 games

Correct, but that’s not what you said. If the Sox add Bryce but don’t do much else and win 76 games, the park will have 13,000 in September. Win, and people will show.

After losing 100 games, spending significant money on a 31 year old outfielder doesn't seem ideal...

Right. It's a meeting, why not meet with every possible suitor if the money is close? Plus it has always seemed like Bryce wants to play for the Cubs..
