Look at Ray Ray Run

Manny wasnt worth 8 years 300 million imo so if you're arguing his last two years are worthless then you should feel better about missing out on this.

I could list examples all day but Jerry reinsdorf paying Jay William's his entire bonus despite there being a clause in his contract saying its void if he rode a motor cycle... then Jay williams had the nerve to RIP the organization. He also lent money to Thomas during his divorce. His loyalty within with former players and etc shows that. Giving a job to randy brown when he was going bankrupt and pippen. Jerry is a loyal guy.

Once again... if manny is good enough to warrant the contract then having dumb silver slugger and gold glove incentives should make that an easy sign for him. Just my opinion.

So he DH's. If manny is do bad years 9 and 10 that you cant even bank on him starting then arguing you should guarantee those years is risky imo. Then you're giving 8 years 300 million which is too much.

Idk. Unless the 350 was bs it seems had other ways to earn another 30 million in those too. And as I said, say what you want about cheap Jerry but he takes care of his players.

One of the most loyal organizations in professional sports to their stars and their gonna screw him in year 9 and 10 if hes healthy? Zero chance of that.

What the fuck? Manny should be pissed or hes just a dumbass. Does he plan on sitting out the last two years of his deal with the Padres? This makes it much worse. Incentives arent even that hard to hit.

Maybe if the outlash is strong enough and they lose money they'll give Harper the 10 years 350 million lol

I dont get it. So you were willing to put 350 million in with incentives but wouldnt just take those out and offer 300? Wtf.

They gave a max deal to Carlos boozer. Give me a break. Bulls have offered the MAX they can offer multiple times. Stoudamire. Melo. Lebron. Wade. Etc etc. Money isnt the problem in the NBA. There are max contracts.

Who did the Astros sign? Must have missed it.

Grow up. It's a game and a team you root for. It sucks but life will go on. Guy wants to say hes not a fan because they didnt spend 300 million dollars. Please. What a joke. White Sox fans - the most demanding fanbase in the world that doesn't show up to games or watch them on tV. It goes both ways pal. You aren't a fan if your fanhood relies on one player that has never even played for the organization. Trading sale day was 1000 times harder for me as a fan than this. Manny was never a white Sox. Shit happens. Its oh well because I like the young guys and if manny didnt wanna join that then so he if. Let's go burger.

Bulls have offered max deals to every major free agent for decades. This is an absurdly stupid take. They dont get them for other reasons, not because the money isn'tthetre.

So when they do spend you hate it - Robert. When they commit to the future you hate it - sale and Eaton trade. You also have already determined how good basebe and Rutherford are - got it. Good takes. Rodon was the consensus pick but he sucks and has no chance either..got it.

Dude just leave already.

Sox fans always look for reasons not to go to games... hence why spending a lot is hard for ownership because they draw like the Marlins. Not an excuse but hate this kind of thought process. I'll go to watch timmy and moncada and eloy... no reason not to still be excited about the young talent.

Lol. Idk man. Manny seemed like their target and maybe that's how the Sox wanted it but I'm done giving them the benefit of the doubt and saying that's how they like it. Sox are out on Harper. This team just doesnt have the balls to make these kind of moves.

Good call Jack. Your pessimism was warranted and correct. I was wrong. Nah well. Let's go moncada and timmy!

Dont bite the hand that feeds you. These guys will blow Jerry all day. Hahn should be embarrassed and if he was serious about his career he should find somewhere that will give him the resources he needs.

Eh you never were a real Sox fan if the signing of a player changes that. You're a spoiled young fan. Fans like my old man and his brothers suffered for decades growing up. This is a joke for Jerry and Kenny but I still support the team obviously. Anyone jumping ship is embarrassing themselves equally as much.

This is front offices saying they tried for Machado but Jerry wanted it more.

Congrats Sox fans as I've said. Thank Ken for calming you all down. G Jerry is all in and other ownership groups want Harper. Jeeze. Sleep well and easy.

Gio and Lopez count for me - given their hold on rotation spots for the time being. Both were "good" prospects too.

He wasnt gonna blast his own teammates obviously

Yes but the Sox have about 8 top tierish pitching prospects.
