Machado signs with Padres 10/300

I hate how these calls turn into Machado questions, I realize it's inevitable but still bugs me.

Why? He has family on the White Sox. ?

yep, and even saying "let's see how it shakes out" is something I personally would say if I'm hopeful of something.

Would Jay have gotten the 4 mil if it wasnt for Manny? Like from anyone?

They should legit not even hold a conference call lol must be annoying for Jay to have a conference call to exclusively talk about Machado, even if they are close friends.

Ya, I'm not sure if there's specific things like this they have to do when signing a FA but really this is just kind of crappy for Jay.

This whole process is like a game where the Sox have a comfortable lead but I just don't trust the bullpen to hold it...but I'm hopeful. 

Hahn has been eerily quiet.  No comments on Herrera or Jay.  i wonder if he's preoccupied or something.

Of course I wasted my time. But it is their fault.

I’m gonna hold my pitch fork and be upset because he didn’t openly admit to trying to recruit manny like Alonso did ?. Maybe he is being honest and doesn’t have to recruit because manny is in the bag already ?‍♂

He did have some comments about Jay today

Agreed. It’ll be like winning the blackout game to get swept in the first round.

We didn't get swept.

I'm not sure he'd have a ML contract if not for Manny.

Hey at least that didn't happen then. ;)

Every year that passes, that season gets more artificially painful in my brain. By 2025, we’ll have lost every game 15-0 and five players will have suffered career-ending injuries. By 2030, the White Sox will have lost the next 300 following regular season games. By 2040, all my family will have been murdered that week.

You're a weird guy with strange thought processes.

That's a personal attack. One that hopefully won't be ignored.

Haha I hear ya.  Every October I try breaking my hand punching a bat to remember the pain of what could have been that season.

Look on the bright side, at least Jay is saying he has to do what's best for his family and not saying that all Manny cares about is winning.

Ha, well realistically what you'll erase is the game 163, and remember the sox getting swept when they went into a 3 game series up 2.5 games, and collapsing in game 3 when we had a 4 run lead (?).

Does Yonder count as family? If he wants to do what is best for Yonder...

The Sox gave up 6 runs in each game they lost that series. Would've been nice to have Quentin in the lineup but it was the pitching that series.

Oh geez. Manny Machado and Bryce Harper are negotiating for so much money that their kids won't ever have to work, and you're talking about how if it doesn't go your way, they will have wasted your time. Pretty sure that counts as a strange thought process. Perspective, dude.

What have you ever been hopeful of?

Yeah, I still think about that. With Quentin healthy, he wins the AL MVP and the Sox comfortably win the division. And if you can keep Contreras healthy, too, Vazquez isn't starting game 1 of the ALDS. The rotation is lined up and Vazquez is starting game 4 if that. I really think the Sox would have had a chance to win another title that year.

So, I guess no news and things are boring today.
