They're shaming the whole damn league for being cheap

Sounds pretty ‘Dan Clark-y’ to me

Maybe the agent wants to play the “White Sox cheap” card to the fans so they are more inclined to go a little overboard to make sure the deal gets done.

Do I have this wrong or since the CBA ends in December they would strike while trying to negotiate a new one during 2022?

Seems an awful lot like WSDs head is spinning right now

I imagine the baseball writers cafeteria table over at ESPN is pretty awkward today

When have the Sox ever effectively waded in these waters? This signing would be entirely unprecedented.

The payroll floor is whatever it would cost to give every player the minimum

I'm mostly with you. But Hawk Harrelson still does exist.

It'll wipe out 2022, I'm pretty sure. But, yeah part of me would be pumped, the other would be dreading the future because of it.

Hope this thread can last until the second week of ST games

It would be hard to believe that they are willing to give Manny's buddies 14 mil, but only go 25 for the man himself.

No, he’s still a fraud

I think if the Yankees were serious, this thing would have been over a month ago. For better or worse.

That seems to be coming to an end. Yankees fans are infuriated, and I don’t think cubs fans aren’t too happy either. Problem is it probably doesn’t effect the bottom line much if at all.

90% sure he’ll be the one to break it

Ah yes, squid pro ro

Huh, never made that connection. Also you underestimate the ubiquity of Scrooge McDuck

If the sign Machado you will find me at Cork at the Park in very short order. Possibly over-served. If they blow it, well, let’s just not think about that.

Heymans a bit of a dope too though

With both whales, that would be over a billion dollars for 3 guys. So no, not regardless of who they sign

Any failure is organizational at this point
