Moan4Yoan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 My God, this is embarrassing. Now, Stone, Benetti, and Garfien are hyping up Engel because of that HR. Talking about his massive power... seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 9 minutes ago, Moan4Yoan said: Yep. The Sox think they can sign FA's at their price and then are left standing there with their schvonce in their hands. No top free agent is going to sign a deal with incentive-based garbage over guaranteed money. The Sox are ridiculous. To play devil’s advocate, they did offer $250M guaranteed and could have simply thought Machado’s agent was bluffing at the end with the Padres. That still implies incompetence, but at least they could blame that on never having pursued a legit whale before. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens this season. Either way, if they’re smart they’ll sit back and shut the fuck up. No reason to act cocky all offseason, amp up hopes, and then end up empty-handed.

Except Machado was a position player which are usually much less prone to injury than a starting pitcher. I bet the Sox have a much higher risk rating on a long-term contract for a starting pitcher at age 28/29 at around $175 to $200 million than they did on Machado at age 26 at $300+ million.

Wood should be the SECOND starter they sign. Edited July 27, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there’s a pretty high likelihood that Machado, Tatis Jr. and his father and their agent in common decided quite early to go with the Padres and were just waiting to see if the Sox would significantly outbid it in the end...Padres did a great job keeping that early interest out of the media as Hahn set the market for a couple of months. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
