Why would we want Happ? Don't wr have enough 200+ strikeout guys?

So far it's looking like another failed first rounder

Rodon was an awful pick. There i said it

Is this a joke?

Can't wait to see mcann hit clean up

Why isn't Jimenez batting 3rd or 4th? Are we really going to let Alonso take his cuts at cleanup this season? For fucks sakes

Behind a paywall

thats just in a few days, imagine if the Phillies break out this season? We are talking sellouts + increase in season ticket holders. Nice work Jerry and co.

What's this? Looks like Harper ALREADY paid for himself for this season and probably the next one (add concessions, merchandise, tv viewers, and parking).

It's ok, Ken made a connection with him at the table.

C'est (it is) la vie

Great post and it highlights the irony of the Machado negotiations. The Sox FO claims they had the better offer and were surprised he would go for the higher guaranteed contract. It's exactly what Jerry did with the Sox. Sure you could get more money by putting a competitive team on the field, but why try when you are rolling in cash already? He bought the team for what, 50 million? It's worth over a billion today. Why would he care?

I hope Harper and Machado have all-star caliber seasons until they retire. The worst thing is if they fail and this FO says "we told you so".

I forgot to add in the OP that I am not spending a dime on this team until reinsdorf croaks. It's boxscores from here on out. It makes me depressed but I'll get over it.
