    We have the advantage — Harper supposedly is not a fan of Philadelphia, likes Chicago, his dog is named Wrigley, and his BFF is Kris Bryant.  If the Cubs don’t want him, at least he can still reside in Chicago so he and his wife can hang out with the Bryant’s.

    26 years old, .900 career OPS, Rookie of the Year, 6x All-Star, 2015 MVP, and the face of MLB The Show 2019.  What other player as young as 26 will become available in the near future that is as talented and marketable as Harper?  We also have the DH spot for him to settle into at the end of the deal when he is in his mid-30’s.

    Show Harper the money, Jerry!

    Whow, ease up there. We heard the same shit about how Manny supposedly didn't like SD or the west coast.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up.

    Chicago White Sox. I really am sorry to see you go dude. I've always thought you are one of the more baseball intelligent posters here and enjoyed your insight. I wish you well and should you change your mind we'll be here. :)

    I would value taking control of your own life over being bitter and having hurt feelings about things that happened decades ago in sports. Yes. That seems obvious to me,  but some apparently enjoy being miserable and bragging about it.

    Notice only one of us is angry here? Who here is negative and appalled?  Who is miserable? Whose feelings are hurt? It sure isn't mine, it is you who is using these terms to describe the fan base you include yourself in.

    Seriously Sox fans. Take a step back from the ledge and read this post. 

    I am dissapointed but it's not the end of the world or my White Sox fandom. Maybe people need to step back and re-read their own posts in the Machado thread. So many Sox fans were picking and choosing which "insider" they believed and hinged their hopes and dreams on it while ignoring more times than not these "insiders" are full of shit.

    Didn't know which thread to put my thoughts. Don't move to Nashville over this. It's just one ballplayer.

    FIRST MEA CULPA: Nobody probably remembers, but I thought all along we'd get Manny. Why? I could not fathom not getting him if we signed John Jay and Alonso, two horrific players. I think Avi is way better than those two but that's a different day. I was convinced in my mind we were going to get him at 8 years but I was hoping for 7. I figured the reports were correct at about an average of 30 million a year. I wasn't trolling. I thought we'd get him. I figured with similar $$s he'd appreciate us signing his brother in law and pal John Jay.

    SECOND, REALITY BITES: Deep down I thought the NYY might swoop in and steal Manny. Little surprised it's SD but so be it.

    THIRD, DON'T JUMP OFF THE LEDGE: He's one ballplayer. He'll get very little publicity in San Diego since they aren't ready to win anything. I wish Manny good health, I do, but if we're going by SIMPLE ODDS, the odds say in the next 10 years he will get injured, he will have some lousy years. He could pull a Pujols and look old before his time. Odds are in a few years we'll be talking how SD has this "bad contract." Remember Manny can opt out in five years, but if he wants to keep making this money, the Pods can't opt out. 

    Call me a troll, but TRUTHFULLY I'm more upset I have to watch Jay and Alonso on my mlb.com than not getting to watch Manny. Eloy is going to make you all very very happy this season, folks. Don't worry. Be happy.

    FINALLY: Am I mad at all? Well, I'll be happy if we get Harper (I wanted him more than Manny), but am I mad at the front office? No. I probably should be mad because today's quotes that we couldn't afford him seem bogus to come out now and not weeks ago (when some fans were buying season tix for Xmas gifts). But I can not be mad at the Sox failing to land ONE PLAYER. And this is a player whose behavior has angered me in the past.

    I am upset that our team is projected to blow chunks again this season, but IMO it's more because of starting pitching. And yes our lineup will be missing the big bat that Manny allegedly would have provided.

    IS GREG UPSET?: Not over this. He's one player, folks. Stuff happens. And you wait and see. Manny will be a horrific contract for the Pods in a few years. GO SOX! Manny ... enjoy playing in SD where you won't be getting much attention nationally.

    Greg, you are known to be one of the biggest pessimists on this board as well as being known for your angst towards the front office and yet, despite today's news, you remain upbeat and looking forward to White Sox baseball. Seriously, great post Greg! 

    I for one am still very much looking forward to White Sox baseball.

    Moncada playing 3b was something the White Sox have contemplated for awhile. And it's been discussed on this board several times. Machado isn't signed yet. Why are people freaking out over this? Maybe with some work, he's good over there. It won't hurt anything.

    Spot on DA. The idea of Moncada being moved to third was first mentioned before the 2018 draft when it began to look like Madrigal would be available at #4.

    Who cares. Lozano just wants the most money; Lozano is the biggest dirt ball in the agent world which is truly saying something.

    He's not going to leave commission on the table because he got mad at the White Sox. He knows he leaks bullshit all the time. None of this is personal.

    Is Lozano really that different than any other agent? Part of their job is to get the most for their clients.

    Heading into first your feeling something burst, diarrhea cha cha cha diarrhea cha cha cha

    coming round second you need some disinfectant, diarrhea cha cha cha diarrhea cha cha cha

    coming round third you feel a big green mushy turd, diarrhea cha cha cha diarrhea cha cha cha

    sliding into home your pants are full of foam, diarrhea cha cha cha diarrhea cha cha cha.
