BackDoorBreach Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Remember when the money will be spent and instead of spending money on good MLB talent we traded for a replacement level RF and gave Jose Abreu a 3 year extension worth 50 million dollars?

Rays and A's because of their stadium issues, but at least extremely well~run franchises. Braves and Royals seem like they should be flip flopped.

Southwest Sider Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 So Machado was worth 8/250 but Rendon wasn't worth 7/245 +? He's arguably a better baseball player. Man, at least make the Angels work for it. All these awesome free agents and we're gonna end up with Mazara and maybe David Price? Pretty disappointing, to be honest. Hot take, for sure since it's still so fresh, but man... not even one whale in 2 years? May as well move this team to Rockford so they can live in a city that could only support a small market team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an easier but longer drive so I'm not sure it's worth it. Wouldnt have to deal with people from the city though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 If we can't take advantage of those four big trades... top draft picks... unprecedented financial flexibility and the penurious AL Central, it seems almost like it will never happen. Not when you look at the spending this offseason and what will likely be a $180~185 million average for the eight playoff teams in 2020.

It's about the inability of the FO and ownership to live on planet earth rather than Uranus. They're insulting our intelligence at this point. Wheeler was the affordable play. Best of both worlds. Ace upside that didn't cost ace prices. It's the Certified Preowned Beamer. Once that didn't happen, plan B should have been Strasburg/Cole. You have to go pay the sticker price now. Got to buy new. Instead they're going to the salvage lot. They skipped the new car dealership and went right to the beater lot.

Excellent job. At the very least, the Sox should have been "in" on these guys until the end. Yeah, probably not going to sign them. But offer the most money and see what happens!!! Fucking owners like Arte Moreno run baseball teams like they're a hobby, our owner sucks balls. He let the Sox lose this city to the Cubs and now they're a small market team in fucking Chicago of all places, and now they can't afford or won't spent the money on the whales. They're living in the reality that they built. Edited December 12, 2019 by South Sider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to be convinced that Jerry and Bill Wirtz spent too much time together at the UC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
