Jack Parkman Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 They've done a really good job of alienating what's left of their fanbase.....Bravo! Don't be surprised when the Sox move to Charlotte or Portland in 5-6 years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Let's face it. Jerry is running this particular sports team as a business. he clearly doesn't give a damn if they win. Profitability is all that matters.

SoxFan562004 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I bet Hahn has the balls to mention the Cubs (was it Epstein?) yesterday about how they're out of money. He'll say something like "well, these big deals don't always work out and hurt your flexibility down the road". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i need a break. Yeah, it was a stupid plan and I've said so from day one. That wasn't going to be the deciding factor in getting Manny, and it was cheap of us to try. And outside of that idiotic incentive, neither of those players have any actual value on the baseball field. .738 OPS last year for Alonso. As a firstbaseman. He SUCKS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 We did this to ourselves. The FO never said, “forget your wife and kids, hobbies & work for 3-4 months.” But I can’t help but feel it was implied... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 3 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: To be fair to those guys they should give them their release right now. Let them go find work elsewhere. Eat the money and take the L. If you actually care about them as a human you wouldn't subject them to the vitriol that is going to come their way from ignorant fans. I agree with this. I won’t be attending any games in 2019, but they risk receiving an unfair brunt of fan unhappiness. It’s not fair to them because they’re forever associated with the failed Machado sweepstakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox don’t waste $13 million on two trash players if Harper was their target all along. And if Machado gets $300 million, Harper will get even more and it will also be too much for the Sox to spend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to stop talking. Dont bite the hand that feeds you. These guys will blow Jerry all day. Hahn should be embarrassed and if he was serious about his career he should find somewhere that will give him the resources he needs.

bruni Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Had season tix for 24 years and cancelled them in November. Had little to no faith then, and even less now. My issue both then and now was the truly terrible drafting record. SO many crap pics in the last 5+ years, squandering high draft positions year after year... Rodon (fragile and mentally weak), Fulmer (terrible control and no plus offerings) Burger (are you kidding me - a beer league softball player with a top 15 pick?) and on and on it goes... They trade away blue chippers for a glut of AAAA outfielders (Rutherford and Basabe) or bust worthy (Giolito) pitching and strike out plagued Moncada - our new 3rd baseman - ugh... They over pay for a prospect (Robert) who can't stay healthy... And now, after having 2+ years to prepare by clearing roster $$, they swing and miss on Machado, but not until they blow over $10 mil on his buddies/family Jay and Alonso (and helping the Indians in the process)... Incompetence rules and the common denominator is Jerry. They better hope and pray that Cease and Jimenez don't implode or there really is nothing left to hope for. Vote with your $$ WSox fans... no need to support this crap until Jerry sells or croaks.... Be thankful for 2005 - - it's not ever coming back under this ownership.

Steve9347 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 On day one, he said he wanted 10/300. The Sox dicked him and the fans around for 2.5 months, and the Padres said "fine, we'll take a franchise player" and came in and got him. The Sox failed to land the second biggest free agent of all-time over $1.5m annual salary. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If the sox will not spend more than 66 million on a free agent, you'd think they'd have the courtesy to start operating like a progressive, smart front office squeezing every bit of value out of their budget like the rays and as. Instead they are delusional, thinking that they are all individually brilliant and loyal and they will find a way, no need to shake the boat, then one of us could lose a job!

chitownsportsfan Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Yolmer is gonna put up a 280/330/420 3.5 WAR season at 2B! TA is going to slash 250/300/500 with elite defense. Moncada is going to hit 270/360/450 with 30SB and 3.5 WAR himself. It's on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are NOT signing Harper. Some lesser, shitty free agent who will do nothing but suck and leave us in fourth place, sure. Bryce? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah at this point I think it's more likely for the Padres to sign both. Harper isn't signing here, the Sox are just cheap or/and delusional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
