Sockin Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm probably wrong but if they're negotiating now I feel like that might be good if the Sox are still in? Could the Cubs/Dodgers negotiate that well if they couldn't promise anything without a few contingent trades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If the cubs don't want Maddon anymore that can send him 8 miles south. I'll take Maddon over Ricky. How about a trade. Renteria + $ for Maddon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, that would be the case prior to a trade I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaRoache Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I think this is the reason the Sox are gonna sign stopgap players. They have to show they won't be a 100 loss team next year. No one wants to lose 100 games. If they can be just an 81 loss team who takes compete for the division, that is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sentences are giving me a brain aneurysm. Actually, that was one of his more cogent posts. It may not be what he intended, but it was good English. He clearly stated: "WE have outbid the cubs and dodgers by alot" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have us beat on the field badly. The minors just show we can get there one day. Us beating other teams minors rosters means nothing, unless that team sucks at the mlb level like us.

Dick Allen Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) He clearly isn't going to eliminate teams publicly even if there is little chance he signs with them. If it is reported JR will spend huge, even if Harper would take $50 million less, there is no way Boras, or any agent would publicly eliminate him. So really all Boras said is just noise.

hogan873 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Two encouraging notes. That he wants a team to build around Harper and information about the minors has been shared with Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Probably referring to the Sox with that "not competing in 2019, but beyond" comment since they are in on him and are not in a position to be good next year. Just out-bid everyone else and lock him up. Edited December 12, 2018 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
