Come on man. You're not serious. They should albatross their business so Eloy feels comfortable? They can pay him handsomely when it's time to pay him.

It's not. You hold him down /thread

I tend to defend Rick Hahn, but if he calls up Eloy before the three weeks are up, he should be fired. Not "being a dick". It's just good business.

We agree on something, @Tony. feels good

Why is this the only issue on Soxtalk where it's not okay to disagree? Did you read the article? Did you see where he cited Ed Farmer? I mean, come on. Ed Farmer is suppose to carry water for the team that's responsible for his pay.

This may be the most captain obvious thread on this board. He doesn't play in the majors until his extra year kicks in. The union can strike to change the rules.

You pull him up whenever it's most advantageous for the team. Call him up whenever he gets the most years under team control. Every smart team would do that.

"The thing I can't stand is people who don't agree with my assessment" And no one else thinks this attitude is problematic? Before I forget, this article cites posts about percentage of the league average in spending. A rebuilding team has no reason to spend money. They just don't.

This is literally why twitter exists

While JR is mostly to blame, I do believe Rick thought his offer was the best for the team. Rick does contract negotiations extremely well. Problem is he missed badly on this one.

You better be wearing flame retardant clothing with posts like that. I agree with you 100%

@SonofaRoache, if it is so hard for you, go to Footlocker and buy a Yankees hat. You have a troll handle and your posts scream PTSD or depression or both. Do we need another thread with your bs in it?

If 2022 rolls around and all the products of this rebuild are a bust, I'll say fire Hahn.

Polarization effect. Lots of upset people. The more people agree with each other, the more radical they get.

Trying out a new signature. What do you guys think?

God I hope not. The vitriol towards their father would be tough to swallow.

Pecota has the Cubs winning 80-82 games next year. Good luck with that. You had better figure out how to take this down because you're essentially done here with that post.

1) duh 2) He doesn't. Bye

Real men just leave. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Take a few more with you

See guys. This is what happens. You get these horrible takes.

So why weren't six teams trying to match the Padres with such a great deal? Sorry, I don't buy it. If Jerry is cheap for offering a guy $250 million and getting outbid by only one team, that's a soft market, not a cheap owner.

And all the other teams that were interested but didn't match the Padres.

One team offered that. So you're saying all the other teams were cheap? Got it. Just wanted to make sure I got your nonsense straight.

It's a ton for one guy. It just is. He got what everyone said he was going to get but ONLY one team was willing to pay it. This wasn't some 10 team bidding war. Fine: Reinsdorf is cheap, just like every other team that didn't offer Machado

How many teams outbid Reinsdorf? So he's cheaper than the Padres.
