Lightning Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 If being at the table is something we are applauding, it’s really pathetic. That’s like going to Jack Ruby’s ordering a steak , the steak comes and then walking out. When your friends ask you how it’s was you tell them I was there and it looked and smelled really good. Pay the money and eat the steak! Stop being cheap because we are sick of McDonald’s and Cold cut combos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to at least try to spin it. No, but he doesn't need to grovel for effort credit either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox9 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I always trade the chips for the cookie! Even though its just frozen balled up crap when it goes into the cooker... those cookies come out like they were touched by the Hand of the Cookie God himself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hahn going on record and admitting that not getting Machado would be disappointing, tells me they are still in it. Also he mentioned "offers"does that confirm we have extended one to Bryce Harper? Or multiple to Manny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Did Hahn specifically say they have an offer out to Manny? Don't believe he did, as that's not allowed by the CBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off of this from Fegan Hahn says they’ve made offers that would disprove the idea the White Sox won’t spend at the top of the market if they were accepted, and hopes to disprove that narrative over the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Based on Yonder, maybe the burner account was right and there is a snag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then one or two other dudes in the league say, “I don’t need another second baseman, but if he’s going to go THAT low, I’m in.” And then what happens is the player ends up going for pretty much what the projected value was.

Princess Dye Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Someone told Alonso to clam up. That may be a good thing from our perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a chance that the deadline on the Sox offer was last night? And at the last minute someone offered more and kind of reset the whole process? Just spitballing on how Yonder went from telling fans to be ready to be surprised to "I can't talk about stuff that may or may not happen".... this is obviously taking into consideration that both statements were genuine when made.
