You can't - as an executive - declare yourself out on a player. A reporter can claim it, but you can't say it as a GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 and for the record, Holmes needs to maintain a professional relationship with the GM of a major league franchise... so I don't fault him at all for, TBH, what was clearly a platform for Rick Hahn. If you want to get blackballed, you go hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) I wish I was coming back here for the first time in years for different news. Not going after Harper at all is just pathetic, and no reason really provided. Edited February 21, 2019 by max power 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ownership never wants to spend. Rick Hahn's job is to make ownership understand why this is the right move even if it's money they don't want to spend. One example of that behavior - AJ Preller. Because it's literally exactly what he did. To the letter. A better general manager did not let his owner tell him no to a player he needed, that's why he's a better general manager. Convincing Jerry Reinsdorf to spend 300 million on one player is like trying to convince Donald Trump that the NY Times is the best news source on the planet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmaranz Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 He sounded like Paxson did with Parkins except Holmes didn't get in his face. Cliche bullshit responses. Especially enjoyed when he said the league knows they're on the brink of something special. Do they? My question for him would've been "how fucked would you be right now if you hadn't fleeced Theo?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) I wish Holmes would have asked him: "If you couldn't go to $300M for Machado, who can you go there for? Without naming anyone, does that player exist?" The fact is, if they won't go there for Machado, they won't for anyone. Machado and Harper are about the ONLY players that ARE ACTUALLY WORTH IT HAHN!!!!!!!! Edited February 21, 2019 by Jack Parkman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The White Sox are just great at PR. That interview sounded awesome and the White Sox twitter account seems like it's completely oblivious 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hahn said they wouldn't pay that price for Machado, AND that they didn't know the offer. He is lying. Also, if opt outs aren't a problem, then why hasn't Hahn stated they offered one here? He could have shut everyone up by saying "we offered the opt out". A bunch of spin and BS.

It's also entirely possible that Lopez turns out to be the reliever all the experts thought him to be... and the Eaton trade becomes a disaster too. Yoan HAS to turn the corner... Eloy has to become a world beater and Cease has to be a staff ace. All of these things HAVE TO happen now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you truly think this then manny machado wasnt worth signing. If you think the white Sox are in a world of hurt going forward, manny machado was never going to save that.
