    This whole fiasco is worse than Lebron 2010. They offered him the max deal and he didn't want to sign with the Bulls.

    This whole situation is like if the Bulls didn't think it was necessary to offer the max because they signed two of Lebrons friends. 

    Totally agree. I was just pointing out the fact that they gloat about being runner ups. This ordeal is much much worse. Hahn flat out lied to fans saying money won’t be a factor when in fact it was. They essentially jerked fans off under the table for 12 months. Offering that contract with all of the options and no opt outs was a complete waste of time. They failed to take advantage of the market in regards to the major teams not being in it. They fucked around and let the Padres swoop in.

    And what’s their common denominator? Until that changes, both franchises will be laughing stocks. 

    I’m well aware of that common denominator. We all know it’s the Reinsdorfs. They’re running two organizations completely into the ground.

    Kind of ironic Hahn talks about being proud of ownership for making their offer to Manny when just a week ago Paxson was on the radio wanting credit for talking to LeBron in 2010. The parallels of these two front offices. Yikes.

    White Sox aren’t signing Bryce Harper. They’re not in this thing at all. They wouldn’t pony up for Machado their main target. That leads me to believe they won’t even come close on option B. I’d be absolutely stunned if it happened. It makes too much sense that’s why it won’t.

    In all fairness to RH.....he deserves some of this blame but wasn’t the Great negotiator Jerry Reinsdorf the one in complete control of negotiations, they needed the experienced negotiator that is Jerry to run the show.....someone with much higher experience.....this is where it doesn’t matter what GM you prop up there as a puppet, if JR is as stubborn as he has been it will continue to get you absolutely nowhere and this organization will continue down the path of failure

    This is why he should’ve shied away from being so blatant about Manny. He let the fans build up their belief only for it to come crashing down like Cody Parkey’s crossbar hobbies.
