February 19, 20197 yr Just now, joesaiditstrue said: it really is a shame that Alonso and Jay are taking up roster spots, the fuck? we are literally wasting money on those guys Money we could have just given to Manny. Their commitments alone this year are almost half of Manny's AAV.

Now they are left with playing mediocre family and friends for a combined $13 million over younger guys. It’s obvious they had a big ego and thought they were going to land him for a steal at their lowball guaranteed deal. What a couple of absolute clowns. Lolol remember when the sox were 'serious' about signing BOTH Harper and Machado. The clowns couldn't even sign one.

February 19, 20197 yr The issue is they could literally have not handled the response worse. To have your VP go out there and publicly say "we couldn't go to 300 mil" and claim you need money to sign your young players who haven't proven a damn thing is absurd. The market has been set, elite players are going to want 300M, we will forever be able to write them off because of KW. Then you have your GM go out there and say they're happy with what they have and also contradict your VP by saying there is no financial limit. Like what the fuck man.
February 19, 20197 yr 3 minutes ago, MyNamesRod said: The sox probably would have had to opt in to this deal after 3-4 years so thats at least one less year of allstar performance needed to earn that extra money. I don't really believe that he would make more than 200 for 5 years either. Also, with the swell opt, he would still have an opt out if the sox don't opt into the swell part so it really isn't as bad as you're making it seem. I agree that the guaranteed money talks, and probably makes him feel more comfortable. But if the player wants to bet on himself, i think the sox deal is better. This is simply not true.

There really is NO freaking way the Sox FO could have messed this up you would think. It was pretty much handed to them and they screwed it up. Unbelievable.

EDIT: I did it... let me know if I missed anyone. Nova - $9 million Alonso - $9 million Herrera - $9 million Colome - $7.325 million Jay - $4 million Almost $40 million in payroll to be “mired in mediocrity” yet again.

February 19, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, Tony said: See: Chicago Cubs This also had the possibility of gaining some Cubs fans after the horrible offseason they had. Not saying we want everybody to jump ship, but this had the potential to gain some more casual fans and increase the teams presence in the city.

February 19, 20197 yr Can we petition the Sox to bat Moncada and Eloy back-to-back? Would make watching them hit and then turning the channel a lot easier. I will rely on Parkman to tell me how great Giolito looked.
February 19, 20197 yr KW saying Sox could not go north of 300 mil, is a complete slap in the face of the fan base. Enjoy 1.2 mil attendance this year.

February 19, 20197 yr 4 minutes ago, Tony said: Not going to debate that in the least, but the Cubs have had a historically bad offseason. Yes, it will suck for their fans to watch their team win 85-95 games and make the playoffs while we watch Alonso and Jay put up a combined .700 OPS.

I never want to wish badly on this franchise, but it needs a wake-up call. If that wake-up call is record-low attendance, then so be it.
