I remember people saying on here that the Padres had no money to sign him

Yep and the Padres don't want Manny

I get that warm and fuzzy feeling just like last year with the "Padres aren't serious" people here barking about how this is an agent ploy.

I agree with that completely

Read my edit. You better be getting the top 2 guys for 6+ years. Wheeler isn't that guy. In the end who actually thinks the White Sox will give him that 6th year without any stipulations?

I think 5 years is already irresponsible. 6 is just stupid. You want to give a pitcher 6 then you should be in the mix for the top 2 guys.

Someone gives him 6 years you tell him thank you and good night. White Sox don't need to give him 6 years.

Please please don't give him 6 years.

He's not a source to put it nicely

Well this was a nice surprise after not looking at Twitter all day! Brewer fans are pissed. It's interesting to see how far off they think we are from actually being good.

That entire at bat was embarrassing. Far too obvious they were doing it.

You know...both our GM and manager say that this criticizing talk doesn't effect them but it sure seems it does now. Good grief I've never seen such thin skinned professionals in this sport in a while.

Nice old man rant by Ricky. Time for him to go.

I wouldn't be surprised to see another offseason like last years. Trying for a top player not getting them and then simply signing 1 year guys. Hahn walked back his accelerated timeline that he first talked about 3 years ago. Now he's talking about 5-7 years. Doesn't seem like he's in a rush.

Well every Rick Hahn appearance now is "Whoops I know I said this and we didn't do that...but now here's the goal". He's the master at spin.

Hey just incase you had any doubts that Rick wants to keep pressing home the timeline may go longer...he's mentioned 5+ Years on rebuilds quite often in this podcast so far. Love how the timeline goes from short to 5 years like everyone else to maybe 7 years.

You know for all the crap the McCaskey's have gotten over the years they have gotten one thing right. When there's a large contingency of the fanbase getting tired of losing and pissed they did everything in their power to change the culture of the team. For me it's that effort to get back in that keeps me onboard with all of that losing you can see they are tired of it. For Rick it just seems like another day at the office.

Just for those who don't know what I'm talking about.

The Hahn clip of him ranting about Twitter and then trying to act like he isn't butt hurt about Sox fans not liking their direction was embarrassing.

"In reality he should probably be playing with the White Sox no matter what right now if CBA issues didn't get in the way". Maybe try reading the whole thing next time. We all understand this and no we don't have to like it. But this is why there's probably going to be a lockout.
