Until he proves he can stay healthy, I will just assume we don't have his services. I'm saying I wouldn't pencil him into our future rotations until further notice.

Yep. Yonder apparently is a great leader, so we get 5 WINS for that alone.

Auto correct. And I gave up on Dane a long time ago. Anything positive from Dunning and Burgee will just be a pleasant surprise.

That money will be spent so relax. We will sign 5 players with WARS of 1 to 40 million dollar deals and other trash.

This is BS. None of us wanted to not sign Machado just so we could be sad, hence the anger from fans.

He made some fuck ups but bounced back. We are still waiting for Rick to bounce back after his screwups. The biggest change will be the Pads fans perception of the team/excitement and the media attention.

They tried to sign them quick, but both players want 300 million and 10 years.

At this rate we will be in the third tier market. The second tier will be out of our price range.

We may have to go catcher this draft. The top two players in this draft to me are the catchers.

I think Goldie stays in the Lou for a while. JDM and Bo should remain in Boston as they have a huge title run in them and money.

You don't know the half of being Soxbull fan.

The rainbow sunshiners are running out of excuses.

He'll be a National next year or a Brewer.

You have to be mediocre to be mired in it.

Many of the rainbow sunshiners tried to use him as a reason it was okay to not get Manny.

He even said that the market won't be as nice as this year. If we want premium talent, they are gonna have to trade for it and pay it.

Nope. He could have just said we are gonna go after the big fish and offer the best deal we can. He could have left out the building fans trust again, years of figuring out this free agency, etc. If you ask for our trust again and fail, that means we shouldn't trust you anymore.

I like Hahn a lot and have been very fair in my assessment of him over the years. But he needs to show me something. Six losing seasons Abreu has been a great signing Carlos Rodon hasnt done much Carson Fulmer hasn't done much Zack Collins and Burger have done little Tim Anderson is replacement level Moncado isn't there yet Kopech isn't there yet Gio hasn't done much Lopez is real solid His free agents have been the worst in baseball And after all of this, we have a bunch of prospects we hope hit. His resume is an F at this point.

Yep. Machado would have likely gotten those incentives anyway barring a screw job by our FO.

Hahn is getting blasted because of his over confidence with things. Telling the fans you've planned for this free agency for two years and this is the year to strike, then failing, is on him. Asking the fans for trust again during this free agency and failing is on him. He knew Jerry wouldn't go to 300, so he should have kept his mouth shut.

We can just offer Harper the same contract we did Machado, just guarantee the dollars instead of using incentives.

We don't spend the big bucks anyway, so if he commands a 300 to 400 million dollar deal, he is gone anyway.

True, but if he did, he wouldn't come here. That's what our FO doesn't get. The market is bare. Even the high spending Dodgers are at a disadvantage because they won't go 10 years. When the new CBA kicks in and other teams find money, we won't outbid anyone for a premium free agents. If we can't sign these two, then who do we sign?

Except at that point the Cubs will just get him.

We need to just man up and give this dude 10 and 300. No more games or BS, we need to get this thing done.
