February 28, 20197 yr This is so frustrating, all this confusion and uncertainty, the Sox could swope in and steal Harper.. just pay up you cheap SOBs.. but sadly we know they won’t.
February 28, 20197 yr For the record, I have never heard a bad word about Machado from his former teammates - not a single one. Public perception does not equal private reality in sports.

February 28, 20197 yr One big free agent signing for the first time in 23 years is really asking that much?

I have never been a true Jerry hater, but this offseason (along with the disaster that is the Bulls) has really turned me that way. Knowing our luck dude will live to 100 and then somehow leave the team to his son who just may be worse.

Bumgarner is leaving and they have no pitching after him - Cueto is dead, and Samardzija is still Samartard. They have aging bats in the lineup with no real prospects coming up. They don't have great payroll flexibility after signing Bryce. The ballpark is a pain in the ass to hit in unless your name is Barry Bonds. The Dodgers don't make a lot of sense to me either - I don't think there's any chance they give him 10 years. They could certainly afford it, but they'd practically be paying Bryce 25-50% more than his salary with the tax involved. I could see the Giants just throwing 10 at 350 and a 4 year opt out at Bryce and he'd clearly accept because it'll be the best offer but it's an odd choice... what makes it even weirder is the GM wants nothing to do with him, and he's brand new and was brought in to turn around this dumpster fire that was started by taking on aging veteran contracts. If ownership goes over his head 6 months into the new job, I'd be pissed. This is not funny in the least and you should be embarrassed.

I said I was on the fence with him, leaning towards he's alright...going in to this off-season. Unless they sign Bryce Harper, to me he is permanently cementing his legacy as a cheapass.

Ain't you the same guy that said Machado to San Diego didn't make any sense cause San Diego was deep in debt paying down renovations for Petco? I don't think the Dodgers give a rats ass about all this luxury tax nonsense.
February 28, 20197 yr Calling someone a tard is now something we should be embarrassed about. My goodness.

I don't think the Dodgers give a rats ass about all this luxury tax nonsense. Any team cares. If the Dodgers didnt care they wouldnt have tried so hard to get under it and reset their tax. Of course they care. Yes, I was wrong about San Diego. As were many others.

February 28, 20197 yr Plenty of solid FA options available next winter after they pass on Harper: https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/depth-look-what-white-sox-could-do-free-agency-next-offseason-2019-2020-mlb-free-agents-cole-sale-verlander-bumgarner-martinez-bogaerts-rendon

Padres can't sign him cause they are loaded with debt from the renovations at Petco Giants can't sign him cause they have a bunch of bloated contracts on their roster and hitting at their park is a nightmare Dodgers can't sign him because they will go over the luxury tax and Manfred will immediately lock the gates to Dodger Stadium if they do that. I guess that leaves the Anaheim Angels as the winner. Harper and Trout in the same outfield would be wild. Edited February 28, 20197 yr by OneDog847

The org said they were going to be in the market for big time players to supplement the cost controlled guys.

The best FA options on that list are all pitching. The Sox should have the pitching. They will need position players. The majority of the position players available are a bunch of older options that will be declining for the life of the rebuild. Edited February 28, 20197 yr by Harper2Sox
