Look at Ray Ray Run

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.

Everyone around the team seem as confident as ever that they get their guy so no idea why you think this.

Eh, that income tax difference would be lost with inflation regardless

Once again, reinsdorf spent the highest % of revenue on payroll for multiple years in a row. It's not about lining his pockets. We'll see what happens but jumping ship over a free agent? My goodness.

The Cubs lol. Dont hit your head on the way out.

If you're 30, you're just being spoiled. I actually think going through the bad stuff and suffering makes winning more rewarding. You lived through the winningest decade in modern times for them and you got a world series. They missed out a few times but for someone who is 30 to say f it is embarrassing imo.

Eh, if your fanhood relies on this signing then you're not much of a fan at all which is fine..

Monday, 9:42am with the white Sox for 8 years 265 million.

Be ready!!!!!

Yes. As I said, this is good news for Sox. Phillies news was great news. Manny not carrying about west coast was Lozano plant for sure. Padres make good offer which helps the owners side, but with deferrals and tax Sox offer is better and machado and Harper get to sign mega deals after all and justin Verlander cries into his pool of tears alone. Sox probably thrilled this came down to them. Expected to spend more but now dont even need to spend as much as they thought.

Everyone should be happy right now. This is almost over and manny will be fielding grounders next to timmy later this week..bet.

Lol if you're lying to your own clients your lying to teams. Hence the 8 240 and 8 280; basically accusing him of lying.

Pretty much how I see it. Imagine we're talking significant deferred money for Padres too so Sox are really talking about 20 million max. That should mean nothing to them.

Nothing from anyone on the Sox end. No one talking. Seems good to me.
