More like Human Centipede with Alonso in the front.

Are the Sox even allowed to DFA Jay if they wanted to after spring training? Has something like that ever happened before?

This is what needs to happen on opening day. Everyone with a damn bag over their head.

Remember, remember, the 19th of February The Machado treason and plot; I know of no reason why 50 million Should ever be forgot.

Where did you hear this?

I’m sure there will be some rumblings, but overall I think MLB wants to add teams, not move them. And no matter how you hard you try, Oakland, Tampa, and Miami are in much worse shape than the Sox IMO. The market is there, it’s Chicago for fucks sake. It just has never been tapped into because of how the team is operated. There will be an owner that sees that and things will change.

Not a bad idea. Honestly, just send the link to the Machado thread. 20k+ posts, and almost 1M views saysall you need to say. Easily go go a step further with a well articulated letter from all of us how we are all cutting out games this season. If Jerry can pay up, neither can we. Enjoy an even emptier ballpark.

Like a few have already stated, it’s not necessarily the result itself, it’s the manner in which it happened. People are far more pissed at the FO than losing out on Machado.

They did a good job deceiving us these past few years. Fucking ponzi scheme to fatten up JR’s bank account.

I really want him off the team. His comments today were infuriating for me. Not his fault he was hung out to dry by the FO, but he provides absolutely zero benefit to being here right now.

I’m a Madrigal supporter, but this kid really needs to hit his potential if he is going to have any sort of value at the MLB level. If he fails to develop even doubles power, he won’t be much use to the Sox. He doesn’t draw walks, so all his value is literally tied to his batting average. The concerns about him from prospect evaluators are very reasonable. I tend to put more weight into his wrist issues last year than most, so I’m willing to believe we get the player closer to what we are expecting.

I don’t. They are pretty clueless. I’ve seen some posting about the ticket office receiving a lot of complaints, butIm sure they will just chalk that up to overreacting. Maybe they’ll come to realize something might be going wrong when Alonso and Jay are berated by fans at every home game, when their attendance drops again, and the closest they get to filling the stands is Eloy’s debut. God help that kid if he struggles. We’ll end up with 1-2 B-level free agents next offseason. They’ll spin it as “we allowcated money into 2 players that help us be a competitive ball club.” This is the White Flag trade all over again IMO. Whoever owns this team after Jerry is gonna have their work cut out for them, but at least expectations will be very low if non-existent.

Could not agree more with this post.

Chuck is so out of touch with realty. That other tweet wins today.

Maybe. You forget Jay makes $4M and therefore must play over Palka.

Completely abandoning the organization seems like an overreaction, but to each their own. I'm sure some people will come around again once the season starts. We all wasted A LOT of time in that thread, so that wound is even deeper for some of us. I'm absolutely furious at the FO for failing to close this out and cannot wait until JR, KW, and Hahn are out and a new regime is in place. I have completely lost faith in this FO, and I will not be fooled again. I'll never abandon this team, it's too much a part of me and I have too many shared memories with my father to do so. But I absolutely will do what I can to make sure I greatly reduce the money I've spent on this organization in the past. They'll be lucky if I show up for Eloy's debut. That'll probably be the extent regarding the amount of games I go to this year unless tickets are freely given to me.

Yes please.

Dude, they traded for his brother-in-law and signed his 34 year old friend. It's an epic-level failure. There's no way to spin this.

Don't get your hopes up on Harper. We all wasted way too much time with Manny. Pointless to dedicate even more to another lost cause.

I agree. It seemed like things were changing when they got Robert. They still don't have a grasp on how to run this franchise. How fitting Guaranteed Rate and their shit logo is on the side of the ballpark.

I really think they are clueless how negatively the fan base is going to be towards them.

Might want to wait a little before moving. Sox might follow you there!

Hell will fully freeze over before a Boras client takes less money. This is all about beating 10/300.

News to me as well. When did this happen?
