They already blew last offseason, in the majority of players that they acquired and the one that they wanted but whiffed on. I believe you had even stated before the end of last offseason that you would be upset at the front office if they failed to land a top free agent.
Meanwhile, you have Stone saying stupid things to the fans and sounding like he is speaking for management by seemingly downplaying long-term contracts for free agents.
They actually did this all last offseason. Everyone knew that the Sox were “all in” on Machado... until the very last second when the Padres stole him away. Where were you?
