February 28, 20197 yr 10/330 for Harper and 10/300 for Machado were the starting bids. The fact the Sox got neither is sickening. There is 20 million on the books in 2021.
February 28, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Lol at cheap. Largest contract in baseball history... Sox are cheap for not beating it? Please. Sox whouod have given manny 300 million - that's inexcusable. Being out on Harper was fine at that price Completely disagree. Both deals were a bargain for what they bring. Anyone who doesn't see that is a moron.
February 28, 20197 yr 13 years 330. Again, the cheat codes were there to sign these guys. Sox live in a bubble where they didn't think it mattered.
February 28, 20197 yr FUCK THE WHITE SOX 13 years?!?!?! edit: and there are no opt outs. FUCK THIS Edited February 28, 20197 yr by Kiebs13

Sox whouod have given manny 300 million - that's inexcusable. Being out on Harper was fine at that price These contracts are the new norm, and if you are expected to be sitting at the table from here forward for premium free agents then yes you are cheap. Harper does so much more for your organization that Machado would ever do just based on marketability alone

Obviously they weren't a bargain Jack. It was the most money any team in MLB baseball was willing to give. That was the peak market for both
February 28, 20197 yr There needs to be a boycott of our product this season. I'm hoping for Expos level of fan engagement. This front office is a joke and a total embarrassment. I don't care if they relocate since I don't even live in Chicago anymore.

I live in Chicago and honestly, the thought of them moving doesn’t upset me as much as it used to.

Look at the rangers with a rod for proof. Or any other big contracts. They dont sell tickets unless the team is good.
February 28, 20197 yr Just now, fathom said: Fantastic deal for Phillies. This sucks Jesus they even got Boras to go along with no opt outs and a low luxury tax number. They're going to go sign Keuchel or Kimbrel now since they minimized the tax dollar, they'd have been under the 2020 tax line but narrowly if they had allowed an opt out after year 3. They just made it so they can still add another player under the tax line.
February 28, 20197 yr Just frustrates the hell out of me.. Sox could have done that or better but chose not to.. fuck Jerry!
February 28, 20197 yr AAV of 25.4 million Nice, anyone still wants to be a fan of this franchise after seeing this?

I realIze they don’t care, but I’m not personally spending a cent on this team until there is new ownership. Edited February 28, 20197 yr by AJ123

FUCK THIS This makes it worse with the no opt outs. 13 years doesnt matter. 10 or 13 is all semantics. Anyone that believes the Dodgers offered 10 years now are smoking something good.
February 28, 20197 yr Goodbye white sox. I followed u tge last 10 years every facking night late at nights in greece. U betrayed me. Screw u hahn screw u jr. Goodbye

Lol are these posts serious? 13 years is just to take the payroll luxury tax number lower. 10 or 13 years, doesn't matter. It was the guaranteed dollars that mattered.
February 28, 20197 yr Just now, Tony said: The AAV is fantastic. HATE the length. Would have been doing cartwheels if the Sox got Harper, but would hate to have him at age 39... Bah, those last 3 years are nothing other than spreading out the tax payment. It's like deferred money - anything they get after age 34 or so is just gravy.
