I hear Ozzie Guillen is looking for work. ?

Ha ha so you're saying its gonna be a while.

Ha ha Same here. Id rather see the sox learn from the mistakes other teams have made in the past. Just look at the wasted money in the link below. They easily could have had Harper had they spent their money more wisely in the past. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHC/chicago-cubs-salaries-and-contracts.shtml

This is very short sighted. If the Sox are going to have money in the future to lock up players as well as sign future free agents then spending 70-80M annually for two players makes little sense.

I don't think spending 70-80M annually for two players on a team thats payroll has never gone above 128M is the wisest idea. I'm happy the Sox aren't getting both.

Good point kyyle, at Hawks age the decision was probably easier than I thought. I don't know how anyone could forget that. I think some prefer to ignore it like it never happened. I swear Deadpool's phrase "shit show" was inspired by The Show 2010.

With Leury, Sanchez and Rondon already backups to TA/Moncada, where does Rivera fit into the picture? Then there's Madrigal coming up behind Rivera. Nothing against Laz but he's very expendable.

What's the problem? Just because SD officially throws their hat into the mix doesn't mean they will sign him. They even said they jumped in because the bids were lower than expected, which they should. During winter we've seen the Sox, Yanks and Phillies favored to sign or were about to sign Machado. It's the end of January and he hasn't signed yet. Don't freak over ever rumor, they are just rumors.

Yes, because Ozzie is such a great manager and good person that no teams are interested in hiring him to manage their club. He quit on his team, fuck Ozzie.

Yeah I miss hawk too. I still get sad when I think about him saying goodbye in his last game. Can't imagine how difficult it was for him to decide to retire after all these years.

Yeah I had 502 so I still cling to hope.

Past tense.

He needed visine after a "sesh".

This thread has been a blast to read. Some of the reactions to rumors have been priceless.

Sure,why shouldn't they be interested as long as the 40% off sale continues.

Nah, the Padres aren't in. They just haven't read that tweet stating Machado will be announced today at Sox fest. Clearly the Padres are in denial.

That would be fucking epic for White Sox fans! I would be sporting a Louisville slugger in my trousers for a long time.

I'm sorry but I just could not resist.

I wouldn't object as long as it's no more than a two year contract.

JAMES SHIELDS!

Wait, can't where a Royals jersey either? Man, that's fucked!

Guess this confirms the Sox being out on Machado. Bummer dude.

Chris Davis and Matt Davidson in the same lineup is scary...for Baltimore. Boston pitching will like it.

Will Cakey the monster be at the ice cream social?

Yep, could of looked that one up. Got lazy. He isn't going to LF so CF it is.
