To me this goes back to what I was saying earlier. The Whitesox were not in a position to call anyone’s bluff on a take it or leave it scenario whether be setting a deadline or being cautious with the money. This is essentially what happened. The agent said we got someone at 300 mil, the Sox called their bluff and said no and we lost out on what we really thought we had in the bag. They will continue to lose out on big named free agents with having the worries of saving a buck mentality JR has. It’s sad, but true you can’t have nice things thinking that way especially when going into this offseason it was well known both Harper and Machado were looking for around 300 mil...

Oh I agree was just venting, the score had been like a whitesox funeral today.....

What is an extra 5 mil over 10 years gonna do to your pocket book later down the line even if he regresses??

Ha....cmon man I think there needs to many more steps than 5, I’ve been on the road all damn day and can’t get past anger and depression and to think about Harper now not coming here is crazy lol

All of these leaks smell like Jerry was too cheap to guarantee 300 but would be willing to go to 350 with incentives....cheap bastard

Meh he’s not coming here anyways so who cares.......today is depressing

Proud of the offer? Cmon man, they didn’t land the guy because the Sox wouldn’t pony up the guaranteed money but blew 13 mil in Jay and Alonso instead and still missed

If Lozano contacted them saying this is final chance to match the offer and they thought he was bluffing every single damn one of them in the front office needs to be shitcanned

Yay for this rebuild!!!

Wow.....

I like his never ending optimism though

Nailed it

Sounds like he also said that the ownership for Philly and San Diego prefer Harper over Machado....so there is that

When Rosenthal tweets please listen......he was spot on with the Alonso move. He’s not the guy to throw shit at the wall to see if it sticks.....hopefully with his comments this comes to a close within the next few days....

He knows nothing, just trolling...

91 members here to see SS2K5 and Peavy argue it out.....twitter please help us....?

Not everyone likes mediocrity, yes it’s not life and death by no means but dedicating time and money to a consistently terrible product gets old. I enjoy going to the ball park as well just like most others l, but it would be nice to have some spark to a young team that has gone nowhere as of late and finally get headed in the right direction...

I wouldnt call what they have run out there for the past 10 years exactly entertainment....

I mean he is technically there right now until towards the end of spring training.....

This....back away from the ledge everyone....

Yoan has been practicing at 3rd all winter long like one of merkins tweets said, why not give him a shot at it in spring training in case you don’t land Machado?

Again, until he does something higher up he’s just another Sox prospect that I don’t have much hope for right now. No need to sharpie him in as the starter when we don’t have the best track record of identifying MLB level bats in the draft

I would suggest extending your vacation until he signs, don’t think it happens for a couple more weeks

If the almighty Madrigal is what everyone says he is then he will be up here before we know it. Only way to find that out is by consistently playing him right now in spring training....all this is doing is seeing where the great Madrigal could possibly fit in
