This is your team. Maybe they sign CarGo or Adam Jones because they need a competent RF but other than them, I don't see it.

MiddleCoastBias Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Look, I get why we shouldn't have a lot of optimism in this FO to actually outsmart anyone and make a play for Harper. But if I'm the Sox, I WANT Nightengale putting information out there saying the Phillies are bidding against themselves so that we can try to sneak in with a winning (panic?) bid that beats what the Phils consider "good enough". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'd get Marwin. Yolmer is a poor man's version of Marwin, and I personally rather have Yolmer (from a locker room perspective).

This team is run by a clown college of morons. They're not smart enough to pull that off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a reasonable option to fill every position and a long-term plan for those positions once they move Moncada to 3b. No other option is a better use of money, and if positions of need to appear they could just fill it with a mid-level free agent next offseason for the same type of price.

wegner Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Maybe everyone has misunderstood what the Phillies mean by spending stupid money. Let's say they offer 5 years 100 million, Boras says "hey that's stupid" and the Sox swoop in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to stop reading this forums because everytime I see someone's post I think of how the sox can turn something into a negative. Like signing Cargo and Kuechel for way over their value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, you spent $25 million on them, and your team will now win 70 games next year instead of 67. This is the type of success you wanted to bring with that money and a great value, right?

After yesterday's kick in the balls, and being out on Harper, a gut punch, watch them head butt the fanbase and bring Shields back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
