What an absolutely horrific take.

Apparently the Sox aren't willing to go over 300 million or include opt-outs in their offers. If those things are true, they have no chance at Harper. But I'm hoping the backlash from missing on Machado will cause them to change their minds.

Nothing would make me happier now than for Machado to turn into Pablo Sandoval 2.0

Signing Harper would change that real fast.

Looking at the left side of the Padres infield for the next 5 years will be a great daily reminder of the massive failure of an organization we root for. Wonderful.

I don't think this rebuild will work out the way we all envisioned it would if this is how the front office will operate. I'm not trying to be a downer, I'm just being honest.

For one, I would like him to stop making excuses and actually sign a quality free agent.

He's so full of shit it's unreal

LMFAO

The ballpark is going to be so empty this year. Makes me sad.

This thread needs to be quarantined.

Like I said, get Harper and all will be forgiven.

He's delusional then. Guaranteed money is always better.

I don't know why WSD and several others are angry at Machado. I would have done the same thing if I were in his position. We all need to be pissed at Reinsdorf, this is his fault.

I bet this exact situation will happen with Arenado or Rendon next offseason. Hahn will convince everyone that they have a shot only to fall apart at the last second yet again.

God I can't believe this fucking bullshit. What the fuck

I have a small sliver of hope that the Sox will go all-in on Harper to save face from this disaster but that probably won't happen with the buffoons running things for the Sox.

I just cannot believe how incompetent this organization is. It's astonishing really.

I was kidding.

On the bright side, no lines and cheap tickets! Woo!

I really hope Sox fans aren't going to go after Hector Gomez. He seems like a really nice guy, just didn't have the right info. Not his fault

I missed like 30 pages and I'm not going to go back and read them, but do you guys think the Sox have any shot at Harper? Getting him is the only way I would feel better.

They're not going to get Harper either. We're fucked. What a disgrace.

While this is true, wouldn't it make more sense for them to keep Pederson and use Verdugo as the centerpiece in a trade for a guy like Kluber?

I remember thinking Josh Fields was going to be great after that season he had in 07.
