February 21, 20197 yr 2 minutes ago, Soxnfins said: I REALIZE THAT. He can say that. No, he literally cannot - it is against the CBA. You can't - as an executive - declare yourself out on a player. A reporter can claim it, but you can't say it as a GM.
February 21, 20197 yr 7 minutes ago, Sockin said: Basically just said they arent going to spend any more money this offseason. They shouldn't. If it isn't on Harper, there's no player that makes sense.
February 21, 20197 yr and for the record, Holmes needs to maintain a professional relationship with the GM of a major league franchise... so I don't fault him at all for, TBH, what was clearly a platform for Rick Hahn. If you want to get blackballed, you go hard.
February 21, 20197 yr I wish I was coming back here for the first time in years for different news. Not going after Harper at all is just pathetic, and no reason really provided. Edited February 21, 20197 yr by max power
February 21, 20197 yr 2 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: And it's the General Manager's job to work with ownership on that one. Ownership never wants to spend. Rick Hahn's job is to make ownership understand why this is the right move even if it's money they don't want to spend. One example of that behavior - AJ Preller. Because it's literally exactly what he did. To the letter. A better general manager did not let his owner tell him no to a player he needed, that's why he's a better general manager. Convincing Jerry Reinsdorf to spend 300 million on one player is like trying to convince Donald Trump that the NY Times is the best news source on the planet.
February 21, 20197 yr He sounded like Paxson did with Parkins except Holmes didn't get in his face. Cliche bullshit responses. Especially enjoyed when he said the league knows they're on the brink of something special. Do they? My question for him would've been "how fucked would you be right now if you hadn't fleeced Theo?"
February 21, 20197 yr I wish Holmes would have asked him: "If you couldn't go to $300M for Machado, who can you go there for? Without naming anyone, does that player exist?" The fact is, if they won't go there for Machado, they won't for anyone. Machado and Harper are about the ONLY players that ARE ACTUALLY WORTH IT HAHN!!!!!!!!

February 21, 20197 yr The White Sox are just great at PR. That interview sounded awesome and the White Sox twitter account seems like it's completely oblivious ?

What are they supposed to post? Photoshop of Manny Machado fucking Kenny? They need to move on with their business.

Don't post anything for 2 days or so. If you look at the replies, people are just hurling insults at the FO and Jerry Reinsdorf anyway. To post spring training fluff is just tone deaf. ?♂️

February 21, 20197 yr Hahn said they wouldn't pay that price for Machado, AND that they didn't know the offer. He is lying. Also, if opt outs aren't a problem, then why hasn't Hahn stated they offered one here? He could have shut everyone up by saying "we offered the opt out". A bunch of spin and BS.
February 21, 20197 yr 3 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: What are they supposed to post? Photoshop of Manny Machado fucking Kenny? They need to move on with their business. They could post a montage of fan-made memes ridiculing their offseason incontinence
February 21, 20197 yr Just now, Look at Ray Ray Run said: What are they supposed to post? Photoshop of Manny Machado fucking Kenny? They need to move on with their business. A photoshop of Preller and Machado consummating their relationship while Hahn watches and weeps would be more appropriate

There is zero reason to trust their player evaluation abilities. None whatsoever. Edited February 21, 20197 yr by Jack Parkman
February 21, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, mqr said: They’re in a dark dark place if he doesn’t go nuclear and Yoán doesn’t turn into a 4-5 win player like...right now There's that, too. It's also entirely possible that Lopez turns out to be the reliever all the experts thought him to be... and the Eaton trade becomes a disaster too. Yoan HAS to turn the corner... Eloy has to become a world beater and Cease has to be a staff ace. All of these things HAVE TO happen now.
February 21, 20197 yr 6 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: What are they supposed to post? Photoshop of Manny Machado fucking Kenny? They need to move on with their business. Don't tweet about a 32 year old journeyman looking "fire" on the mound against air?

If you truly think this then manny machado wasnt worth signing. If you think the white Sox are in a world of hurt going forward, manny machado was never going to save that.
February 21, 20197 yr Hahn: I was upset yesterday, today I woke up a little upset. Disconnect indeed. Fans are pissed and will continue to be pissed. So don't tell us management cares like us.

Hopefully they gave Alonso an opt-out so he can move to SD.
February 21, 20197 yr What he said was a lotta shit, his excuses were a loda shit, and bottom line he was fulla shit. Edited February 21, 20197 yr by Jack Parkman
