Sox and a Prayer

I completely agree

You're absolutely right! We have seen the free agents for the next 2 years. We know who they are and there is no one - not even close - to Harper/Machado. 2 guys about to enter their prime. This was their chance. They were blindsided by the Padres. And Sadly, Rick, Kenny, and Jerry STILL don't understand why Manny didn't choose the Sox.

Because they know that the real problem is his boss and the chairman.

I thought wsd said the same thing here on soxtalk over at the Manny thread.

Well I enjoyed your posts. And I completely understand. Good luck to you and your family.

You have my vote. Sounds like a plan!

Kenny always gets his man!

Ok? What does that mean?

Sorry guys, I'm going to be out a while trying tp process this. My team, the one I wholeheartedly pledge my allegiance to, planned for this offseason for 2 to 3 years? They didn't lose out to the Yankees, or the Phillies--but to the Padres?! That's just unacceptable. Oh and wait till we play them in interleague games. And see him and Tatis in that infield - won't that be a kick to the sack! Sadly, mlb fans everywhere today are saying it -" glad I'm not a sox fan. Hate to be them today". I don't know what to say.

Yeah I know right? I saw our very own A Lemming (SoCalSox) arguing with him, calling him a fake.

Yeah that mlb insider guy from that account is supposedly going to reveal who he is once all of the remaining FA have signed. And then he says that we will see why he is so connected and why the Dodgers trust him. Idk. We shall see.

Yeah we commented on it. I guess what started it was Rosenthal's tweet. He thinks that its not true at all and is a plant for Lozano.

Well it was original I'll give him that. But one big hole in his story was SD's fake interest in Harper. Rosenthal said tonight that all 3 teams are in on him. And an offer was made. Now the Padres FO and the ownership may not agree on who would be the better acquisition. But it does seem they are in on Harper. I like how JR comes in and saves the day with a $305 million contract. $5 million over SD - which is the other thing I find hard to believe is that SD could afford a $300 million salary. Oh well. The Sox win. I do love happy endings. Lol

Just curious, do you think there will be other moves to follow the Machado signing?

The most ever in my life. This offseason I've been obsessed. And I thought I was bad with the Sale trade/Eaton trade. But this offseason was a whole other level of bad. Yes impressive and sad. Sorry kids, wife, family. Go Sox!

But I am ready! I really, really am German!

Orlando - that's not the kind of tweets we're asking for. Lol

That's a good point. Give the $ going to Manny over to Harper -- at least threaten to do that.

I feel like I've had a couple of birthdays since this thread started.

Yeah most of these guys have really been left behind thanks to social media/Twitter. All they have is whatever the agent has for them. Bowden, Heyman, Nightengale, and Levine. They have had some of the worst tweets over the last few days.

Wow 106 members on here right now. Must be waiting for some big news.

No

So back at Soxfest, Hahn said he hopes that there's 3 or 4 more moves this offseason. When Manny is signed, what else?

So what you're saying is there's a chance!

I am! I Really Am!
