This point being made is paramount... without Cease and Jimenez they are in a dark, dark place.

and for the record, Holmes needs to maintain a professional relationship with the GM of a major league franchise... so I don't fault him at all for, TBH, what was clearly a platform for Rick Hahn. If you want to get blackballed, you go hard.

Right. I do this at work all the time, when I've been told to verbally accept responsibility for something I was instructed to carry out by my superiors, because they won't penalize me for it.

Summary: They STILL FUCKING THINK that their offer to Machado was good. It's obvious that they aren't signing anyone else this offseason. Sox fans should be excited about watching the prospects "bloom"

"When we talk next year..." Machado still will be a Padre and you still will be a failure in that regard.

Won't talk about Harper. Fair. At least he didn't say that they won't dip their toes in the deep end of professional sports roster building.

We weren't going to get to the 300m level, but there's no set limit. What the actual fuck am I listening to?

Its unfair to suggest the Sox have to "overpay" free agents because the Sox aren't a good destination. Players sometimes choose other locations.... wait, so its the player's fault you lowballed with an incentive-based contract to the best player to hit free agency in 10 years? My head hurts.

Rick: they said we wouldn't do X, we did X. they said we wouldn't do Y, we did Y. they said we wouldn't do Z, we TRIED to do Z. No, you FAILED.

Holmes asking about fan reaction.... this should be good.

This is painful to listen to... he clearly doesn't get that their offer was shitty and that was why he signed elsewhere.

I posted this somewhere yesterday... Uncle Jerry's 2019 Free Agency Participation Trophy

Charlie Haeger is my favorite Dodger.

There are some guys I follow on twitch who have had Anthem via early access now for a week or so... all of them already at max level, completed end game and are bored. Seems to be pretty hollow at launch. But could be that they just played too much.

I hope that Holmes will ask Hahn the important questions, such as if the Sox plan on adding replicas of the "Chair at the Table" to the merchandise stands around the park...

Probably stop giving the team/owner money. That's really the only way to properly "voice" your displeasure. However, the team gets so much money from revenue sharing, MLB Adavanced Media, etc... "fan money" is such a small drop in the bucket that it doesn't even matter......

this is clearly photoshopped. WAY too many fans in the crowd.

you forgot " ahhhuhhhhh"

the real dagger will be when its reported that the Chicago White Sox are on Manny's no-trade list.

Living out of state, I can't listen to Chicago sports blab radio (obviously) but has the media been handing the Sox their collective ass? Or, are they back to irrelevant status?

Remember when Kenny Williams told us that they couldn't spend because the fans didn't go to enough games?

WOW.

dude, you weren't kidding... just read through them.

meanwhile, RickyGM is juggling replacement-level players he didn't really want.

He doesn't get to be Captain Shrewd Negotiator if all he has to do is throw money around. I mean, RickyGM clearly gets off on playing the lawyer bit running the team. And that wasn't what was needed to sign a franchise cornerstone.
