Family is weakness. Lol, nice! Screw family and the fact it's a holiday! Just give the fans what they want because, after all it's all about them! I mean, WTF else does Hahn and these free agents have better to do today anyway? Selfish f***s! Crack the whip Hahn!

SoCalSox Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) I have a feeling gordon going to wait for 5 years and most money. Waiting time is about over for these guys. I'm sure he's been holding out for a 5th year but everything I can tell, says that he has a limited market. We've got basically 7-8 weeks until ST starts, these guys need to sign soon & teams know that. The longer these guys wait, the lower their price goes but in turn, the more suitors they'll have with a cheaper price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) If Gordon wants $100 million on a 5 year contract, I hope that the Sox are able to nudge KC to spend enough to get him to stay there, and Hahn moves on to someone else. We have all acknowledged that KC is going to be in a financial bind, with so many of their core players entering free agency. The Sox window appears to be 2 years. Obligating themselves to a 5 year deal at that kind of money, for a guy his age, doesn't seem consistent with the rest of their moves.

LDF Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) Yeah 4 years is all I want him at. He's not my preference of the 3 but an obvious upgrade defensively and offensively anyway. i too can live with gordon if i have too. i have the feeling of a minn of 2 or 3 yr b/c i think he wants a 1 yr or 6 yr. 1 yr and loose a draft pick, too expensive. however i am soooo excited at the sox spending money and positioning themselves to what may or may not come.... but they are trying and going for the gusto ..... to make a game of it for themselves and the fans. i just hope the fans will appreciate this and get game tickets. but this is my complete thought process and wish. sign cespedes for leftfield sign span for rf/cf for a 1 yr to rebuild his value. or the next best option, that the FO feels that can help. eaton in rf. really need another sp ..... i do not trust the danks / ej slot for the whole season. esp when there is no viable backup sp. kemp for dh in a trade for salary dump. melky.... trade if able or not, do not do the kemp move. get alexei for ss, get the cuban fans esp with cuba opening up, and make a bid for the young 16 cuban phenom and have alexei, jose a and cesp to go for the showcase and do a pr move for him and any other youngster in the off season.
