After losing out on Machado, there isn't any reason to go after other FA's, at least this year. We are going to have 2 more top 5 picks including this year and still have a lot of talent to evaluate in the farm system. It is literally pointless for them to go after the Marwins , Keuchels, Adam Jones' that were out there. Let them suck and get young guys more ABs and innings.

Wow, just had to Next the last 3 pages without reading anything. And to throw my hat into the ring, high heat is 100% more difficult to make contact on than low. Dropping the bat head vs elevating your hands to make contact is faster. Idk how this is even being debated.

They also extended Nola, which is pretty impactful going forward.

MF writing the lineup like he's introducing the Bill of Rights

Everytime I think of this off season it still makes my blood boil.

Hopefully they both perform and get extended before that.

10/330 for Harper and 10/300 for Machado were the starting bids. The fact the Sox got neither is sickening. There is 20 million on the books in 2021.

Yankee fans are probably really upset about this. Good.

Nah, you are then just essentially getting a worse draft pick by still being 3rd or 4th in the division. It's a complete waste. What trade are you going to make for players on bloated salaries nobody wants in free agency? Pray for injuries for competing teams and hope these guys perform? I'd rather just sink again for another year with what we have and grab another top 5 pick.

I know it's speculation, but spending money on bums like CarGo and Adam Jones is extremely counter productive. But it's SUCH a White Sox move.

Harper is trending toward DH in a couple years. No thanks. Great OBP, wild swings in production, bad defender, injury prone. No way he is worth 300+

Machado is ranked just outside the top 25 of all time based on total WAR by age 26. Lol, what?

I don't want any one of those free agents. None of those even really make sense for a 90-100 loss ball club. Hopefully Abreu rakes in the first half and Nate Jones arm doesn't fall off so we can get at least something maybe.

What would Keuchel do on a 2 year deal? They are winning 70 games this year. 2020 doesn't seem realistic either, Dallas is not aging well.

There is no reason to sign anybody on here now. So nobody.

I don't want to hear about next year. There are 0 26 year old superstars entering free agency for YEARS. They all need to be fired, whoever had a hand in this. 10/300 was the starting bid, what the fuck were they expecting

Haha, WOW. 20 million on the books in 2021 and you can't get this done?

He was calling Machado to Sox because of the 8/250 he kept reiterating. That apparently is not the high offer anymore.

Because Boomers can't internet properly.

Is it time to get Schwifty yet lads?

You'd gotta think there's more legit news today after yesterday. I would realllyy like to hear something involving the Sox.

I hope sometime Monday the Sox go from a Level 1 Crook to a Level 100 Boss.

No, that is the truth look at their twitter accounts. They both posted almost the exact same thing, "a modern day lynching" as she was trying to pass the anti-lynching bill. Smollett has also been photographed marching with Harris. There is nothing partisan about what I said. Edit: And no it's not disingenuous, I have seen dozens of these types of stories the last 2 years that turn out to be hoaxes.

Because he wanted to gain notoriety for being a victim of "Trumps Hate". Just like all of the other dozens of fake hate crimes over the last 2 years. Also check out his friendship with Corey Booker and Kamala Harris, who at the time was proposing an anti-lynching bill. They both tweeted about this story.

I honestly don't see how the Padres could outbid the Sox. They have more money locked up with less payroll to play with.
