They've said nothing in the last day that should make you feel hopeful they may land Harper.

It's actually a great point.

I looked at the Giants payroll and luxury tax numbers last week (or two weeks ago) and it looked like if they cleared a couple salaries (2 of a couple relievers and Panik), they could afford Bryce for about $35 mill AAV and stay under the luxury tax threshold. And the site I was on included the $14m in benefits in each number.

Seems like a great way to welcome the Sox back into the mix.

Honestly, nothing should shock us at this point.

The only hope that I have is the Sox still met with Harper despite knowing he rejected a $300 million offer from the Nats.

Pretty sure he'll take the most guaranteed (sad we have to specify that after yesterday) money.

Yep. This off-season was literally idiot proofed. But White Sox gonna White Sox.

Offer Harper 10/326. Beats Stanton's overall guarantee and Machado's AAV. The Sox need a star, Harper likely prefers Chicago to Philly. They are literally perfect fit for each other. The Sox can potentially botch this opportunity twice in one off-season.

If I see one post in here about how the national media doesn't take us seriously as a landing spot for Harper (or any other big free agent going forward) and is really butt-hurt by that, I may lose my shit. This whole Machado thing is exactly why we aren't taken seriously. Trying to get star players on below market deals isn't going to work.

They need to say fuck it and sign Harper after yesterday. How God damn embarassing.

If those years are being offered up as options, I'm not so certain of that. We need Jerry to sell the team and just clean house.

Came here to post exactly this.

Yeah it was not a good day at the office for me lol

Should have ended this a month ago and given him what he wanted.

Carl Everett would like a word with you.

Definitely never mistook WSD for being smart, that's for sure.

Good.

Can't wait until this team has a new owner and he clears everyone in the front office out.

This is one of the best things Kenny has done in the past like, 10 years or so lol

I'd rather pay more and have a star here. Ticket prices were announced a few weeks back and they were still cheap as hell.

LMAO

God I can't wait until Hahn says we had a great off-season.

Already knew this but yeah, his latest blog is dumb.

What teams looking to compete can use Alonso as an upgrade (not a huge one) for cheap? Serious question.
