Funny thing is they won't even get Joc now either, since they got neither whale.
Rick Hahn is happy we are at the table though...so we can now get some scraps!
-
If Dodgers have bid high...he is going there no matter what we bid. That is what he wanted all along.
Man, let's hope our prospects really take a step this year.

IF the Phillies are truly out...once again the Sox are in an amazing position to get another HOF type talent that will sell tickets. Unless the Giants or Dodgers are offering over 300 million contracts, there is absolutely no reason the Sox shouldn't offer 10/326 and an opt out at 4/5 years. He would accept that TODAY.

At the very least, the presence of so many options in the OF contrasted with so few options in the IF should have made Machado more valuable to this team than Harper...but alas that's out the window.
That's why Kenny and Rick were so shellshocked...but with the outfield depth they have only 1 or 2 of those guys ever was making the club anyways with Eloy and Robert being locks. I honestly would rather have Harper and the media exposure anyways. Have you heard anything out of Manny coverage since ST started? I don't even know if he's played a game yet.

Is anyone gonna wonder if Levine is escalating his source? Sometimes discomfort can just be soreness that needs a bit of time off.
But probably TJ.

Also lucky he wasn't picking up teeth off the warning track.
That effort looked pretty awkward though. Not the best route. But the ball had tons of carry though I guess.

Not gonna lie...alonso has a nice pull stroke.

Fulmer looks better...but that homer was CRUSHED.

I feel like I'm going to be really disappointed all over again if/when Harper signs with the Phillies for 10/330.
It's clear as day that he really doesn't want to go there. Boras is begging for someone else to come in with a competitive long term offer.
I also get the strong impression that 10/330 is just about as high as the Phillies would go. If the Sox matched and the Phillies were told they had to go to 10/350 or something, I really think they would bow out and sign Keuchel instead (and possibly Kimbrel also).
yeah. what the shame is before this Arenado setting the 32.5 price per year...10/315 may have been potentially available with an opt out plan since the offers have been underwhelming. Bryce might have told Boras I will take the 10-15 million less to play in Chicago over Philly (because no star wants to live there). Now the 33 AAV is the LOWEST Boras will ever accept.

Silver Lining: The 'I never wanted Machado' mopes have less ammo
If anyone NEVER wanted Machado in the first place...they should have just turned the gun on their own head anyways...because this rebuild may be ROUGH going forward without a true star.

Arenado AAV is set at 32.5 as this became official. So...the absolute lowest the harper offer HAS to be now is 10/330. Realistically...that's what it always has been, nobody has been willing to yet. Phillies just got put into a position of Stupid money being a requirement now.
-
Did anyone really expect Arenado to not resign? His numbers can stay inflated for the rest of his career and HOF becomes a possibility.
And THIS is why Machado was so important. Our prospects will probably hit pretty well...but not grabbing a star or two FA pieces...we will be stuck behind the Yankees, Red Sox and Astros when they are really ready in 20 or 21. This news is not shocking, but reiterates why 10/300 is such a slap into the fan's face.

I am newish to this board and fully aware of banning rules, but can iWin get the heave for this foolish charade. It wastes server space and serves zero purpose here.

Call me Mr. Insensitive...I hope JR dies tomorrow and we get bought by an owner who offers Harper 10/326.

It has become clear to me now...I hate my teams front office equally to garpax. I can't believe I just said that. Thank goodness I am hitting wolf Creek powder in 18 hours otherwise I might do something stupid.

Position-wise, Machado was the better fit for this team. However, I've always thought that Harper was the bigger name, and that signing him would be better for the team. He would be a franchise-changing player that instantly changes the perspective of the Sox. Plus, with his power from the left side, he'd be dropping baseballs in the Goose Island all season.
Yeah. Third base will still be a hole for us, but I honestly have high hopes that moncada will really click there. And I know some are not believers in Madrigal...but his glove will be gold glove and his OBP potential is finally the leadoff hitter they need, albeit in 2020 when we are supposed to be contending. The rebuild definitely took a year hit minimum missing on Manny.
-
I have had some time to think about the Manny signing let the steam blow over and while I know they won't do 10/326 for Harper...Harper is actually the better fit for this team. We wanted Manny because his defense, war and durability, but honestly....he wouldn't sell tickets. Bryce becomes the face of the City, the division and allows the Sox to what they do best...trade talent for other teams ability to develop talent. Eloy, robert, Harper not only would be the best outfield in our teams history, it could be an all time great in the history of the sport if everything clicks. Harper will be inconsistent, but put him behind moncada and in front of Eloy and you have the best protection for each possible. Now if only someone could possess Jerry for a day...

Both guys won't be on the market next year. Think again. I'm pretty sure they're both going to re-sign with their current teams.
And honestly...Sale is already in talks with Red Sox for an extension, so next off season could be bare. THIS was the year with 2 26 year olds.
-
The only thing I can say about Harper is that he WILL be much more marketable. The kind of guy that is the face of the city and your TV station.
But can't trust Reinsdorf to ever do it, right?

Do you really think this is how agents work? Seriously?
Lozano more than likely asked Hahn if he wanted to match or top the Padres offer.
that may be the case...but that is not what Hahn SAID. key difference. He may be lying, but I don't like posters changing the presser to make us all more upset.

Hahn said he got a call from Machado’s representation (Lozano).
They had a chance to match but didn’t.
Not what he said. He said that Lozano called to tell him the news since they were negotiating yesterday.

Being that Andrews saw it and didn't think TJ was needed now...this is GREAT news on a day I am questioning why I am even a Sox fan anymore...
