SoxAce Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 29 minutes ago, KnightsOnMintSt said: Do I think it will happen? No. But they pretty much offered Manny $350 million with the stipulations, so I could see the Sox offering that, but just guaranteeing it. I'd be happy if they guaranteed $300 mil at this point since they didn't even do that with Manny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they got Realmuto, Robertson, and Cutch so far. Bryce would make their off-season perfect, but they were already a competing team. Adding those guys should get them to the 88-90 win territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im referring to how their fan base feels about not landing one of Machado or Harper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper is a lot better than Machado. Look, I dont have a problem with spending $300m on Manny Machado because 26 year old players of his caliber dont hit free agency too often, but I gladly let him go to San Diego rather than lock him up and risk losing out on a truly generational talent like Harper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 If the Phils miss out on Harper I don’t think there would nearly be the outrage that the Sox fans have right now. It wouldn’t even be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the disappointment from Sox fans over Machado is a culmination of an utterly failed project to reload the minor leagues and repeated moves that defy belief, particularly Tatis Jr. Phillies fans will be pissed but they'll get over it. The Sox are just hopeless if they dont land Harper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The Phillies haven’t had six consecutive losing seasons....and the worst cumulative record in baseball over that time period. And referring to “mired in mediocrity,” we have this: For 1901-2018, the White Sox have an overall record of 9211-9126 (a 0.502 winning 'percentage').[3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
