Fulmer looks better...but that homer was CRUSHED.

yeah. what the shame is before this Arenado setting the 32.5 price per year...10/315 may have been potentially available with an opt out plan since the offers have been underwhelming. Bryce might have told Boras I will take the 10-15 million less to play in Chicago over Philly (because no star wants to live there). Now the 33 AAV is the LOWEST Boras will ever accept.

If anyone NEVER wanted Machado in the first place...they should have just turned the gun on their own head anyways...because this rebuild may be ROUGH going forward without a true star.

Arenado AAV is set at 32.5 as this became official. So...the absolute lowest the harper offer HAS to be now is 10/330. Realistically...that's what it always has been, nobody has been willing to yet. Phillies just got put into a position of Stupid money being a requirement now.

Did anyone really expect Arenado to not resign? His numbers can stay inflated for the rest of his career and HOF becomes a possibility. And THIS is why Machado was so important. Our prospects will probably hit pretty well...but not grabbing a star or two FA pieces...we will be stuck behind the Yankees, Red Sox and Astros when they are really ready in 20 or 21. This news is not shocking, but reiterates why 10/300 is such a slap into the fan's face.

I am newish to this board and fully aware of banning rules, but can iWin get the heave for this foolish charade. It wastes server space and serves zero purpose here.

Call me Mr. Insensitive...I hope JR dies tomorrow and we get bought by an owner who offers Harper 10/326.

It has become clear to me now...I hate my teams front office equally to garpax. I can't believe I just said that. Thank goodness I am hitting wolf Creek powder in 18 hours otherwise I might do something stupid.

Yeah. Third base will still be a hole for us, but I honestly have high hopes that moncada will really click there. And I know some are not believers in Madrigal...but his glove will be gold glove and his OBP potential is finally the leadoff hitter they need, albeit in 2020 when we are supposed to be contending. The rebuild definitely took a year hit minimum missing on Manny.

I have had some time to think about the Manny signing let the steam blow over and while I know they won't do 10/326 for Harper...Harper is actually the better fit for this team. We wanted Manny because his defense, war and durability, but honestly....he wouldn't sell tickets. Bryce becomes the face of the City, the division and allows the Sox to what they do best...trade talent for other teams ability to develop talent. Eloy, robert, Harper not only would be the best outfield in our teams history, it could be an all time great in the history of the sport if everything clicks. Harper will be inconsistent, but put him behind moncada and in front of Eloy and you have the best protection for each possible. Now if only someone could possess Jerry for a day...

See you in the first game thread...

Nbc sports just sent me a Machado mania news update. fuck you NBC...raw and without remorse

And honestly...Sale is already in talks with Red Sox for an extension, so next off season could be bare. THIS was the year with 2 26 year olds.

The only thing I can say about Harper is that he WILL be much more marketable. The kind of guy that is the face of the city and your TV station. But can't trust Reinsdorf to ever do it, right?

And that is why you should stop spouting your mouth off.

that may be the case...but that is not what Hahn SAID. key difference. He may be lying, but I don't like posters changing the presser to make us all more upset.

Not what he said. He said that Lozano called to tell him the news since they were negotiating yesterday.

This is a typo...He said "Isn't"...but does this one hurt, yes.

Hahn's presser is so White Sox. Him perpetuating that their offer was comparable to SD's is laughable and his deflection on the Harper question is expected. "Went to bed last night, feeling fairly confident" What a loser statement.

okay, time for Harper...amirite? Kill me now.

10 yr...300 million. that is A BARGAIN. Fuck this FO

Not sure how i finish my job today. CRUSHED.

Exactly...and having Harper in RF doesn't affect this plan one bit...?

I was thinking the same thing. Where is the outrage? Oh wait...the 8/280 is probably him...
