Seriously. I don’t care about Hector’s vague tweets anymore. He doesn’t know anymore than the “insiders” on this board. This has been the offseason of “insiders” trying to make names for themselves and epically failing at it.

Moncada, Jimenez or Robert getting busted would be the icing on the cake this offseason. Then again, Castillo was rewarded with the starting job and our best overall fWAR catcher with four remaining years of control was traded for an overpriced reliever I’m now convinced 90-95% of teams wouldn’t have awarded that remaining contract were he a FA on the open market.

It’s going to get so tiring if we have to listen to all the nonsense about it actually being a $350 million offer to Machado for the next year...NO, it wasn’t, just repeating that over and over again won’t get you anywhere with this fanbase anymore, or referring to the “paradigm-shifting” Luis Robert deal. Burned one too many times. Edited February 24, 2019 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) It’s funny how so much money is thrown around all the time by JR but he is concerned about signing a Hall of Fame player. The Sox spent $45 million this offseason on crap. The Bulls traded for Otto Porter and his remaining $55 million. Big money that won’t lead to winning for either team. JR’s teams are just an embarrassment. We need new ownership for both teams. Edited February 24, 2019 by Harper2Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneDog847 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Harper is gonna get somewhere between 325 and 350 million dollars guaranteed. That is almost 1/4 of the total value of the White Sox organization. Never gonna happen with Uncle Jerry holding the purse strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) But we blew way past our policy of no longer giving out 4-5 year contracts to free agents. Progress. Lets not forget people, any deal without the opt out wasn’t going to fly. We even thought it might be 2, likely 3 years. 5 was a shock, 4 was what seemed the reasonable number of years before the opt out kicked in...they wouldn’t even consider it, which makes absolutely no sense to the forest of the baseball executive world without a doubt.
