He said after being disappointed for a few hours he came to the clubhouse and felt good about the players he has in there and what the future holds. They didn't even need Manny. I wonder why they even wasted their time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their commitments alone this year are almost half of Manny's AAV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 2 minutes ago, Machado2Sox said: Hilarious how Hahn and Kenny got all Sox fans hopes up and made so many stupid comments regarding this chase. Now they are left with playing mediocre family and friends for a combined $13 million over younger guys. It’s obvious they had a big ego and thought they were going to land him for a steal at their lowball guaranteed deal. What a couple of absolute clowns. Lolol remember when the sox were 'serious' about signing BOTH Harper and Machado. The clowns couldn't even sign one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sockin Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The issue is they could literally have not handled the response worse. To have your VP go out there and publicly say "we couldn't go to 300 mil" and claim you need money to sign your young players who haven't proven a damn thing is absurd. The market has been set, elite players are going to want 300M, we will forever be able to write them off because of KW. Then you have your GM go out there and say they're happy with what they have and also contradict your VP by saying there is no financial limit. Like what the fuck man. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 3 minutes ago, MyNamesRod said: The sox probably would have had to opt in to this deal after 3-4 years so thats at least one less year of allstar performance needed to earn that extra money. I don't really believe that he would make more than 200 for 5 years either. Also, with the swell opt, he would still have an opt out if the sox don't opt into the swell part so it really isn't as bad as you're making it seem. I agree that the guaranteed money talks, and probably makes him feel more comfortable. But if the player wants to bet on himself, i think the sox deal is better. This is simply not true.

Best response I have see to this fiasco. There really is NO freaking way the Sox FO could have messed this up you would think. It was pretty much handed to them and they screwed it up. Unbelievable. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone please do a rundown of the mediocre crap Hahn acquired and the total cost. EDIT: I did it... let me know if I missed anyone. Nova - $9 million Alonso - $9 million Herrera - $9 million Colome - $7.325 million Jay - $4 million Almost $40 million in payroll to be “mired in mediocrity” yet again.

fathom Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Can we petition the Sox to bat Moncada and Eloy back-to-back? Would make watching them hit and then turning the channel a lot easier.

Soxfest Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 KW saying Sox could not go north of 300 mil, is a complete slap in the face of the fan base. Enjoy 1.2 mil attendance this year. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
