This is just not true about venting. When the Sox are in on good players people are happy and excited. The last 7 years and FA letdowns create the negativity and doubt. I'm sure this board would be different had we signed Wheeler and Ozuna/Castellanos.

Offseason 2019-2020 MLB Catch All Thread
SonofaRoache replied to iWiN4PreP's topic in The Diamond Club
Not saying stepping in a hole isn't bad. I'm saying that is probably not what happened. The team wouldn't aggressively reduce his salary if it were a simple honest accident. He did something for them to take adverse action. -

Lol at stepped in a hole. It's like when dude from the Bears broke his hands tripping over his dog. Or the guy who tripped over his luggage. -
I'm just messing with you lol. No need for the great wall of text.
-
But wait a second Ray Ray keeps saying players only go for the most money. My brain does not understand how this could be.
-
Our 6th best prospect got us Nazara, we have nothing to trade for Snell that we should.

I don't think the inversion of a twin is a single child. I think it is a siamese twin.

The Sox keep emailing and calling me about renewing ticket plan, and even offering me side deals. The clown even ensured me that next season was gonna be special.
-
He does know how to run a business, that is the problem.
-
It's Fegan not who? I cannot see the correction, please retype it as it's happened twice.
-
But he doesn't know for sure if we will win the title this year. We won't know for sure until 2023. After that, we still won't know because due to market reasons, we will have to trade Gio and Moncada.
-
He went too far in depth for me to not believe him. We were burned by Wheeler offering the most and probably a few of their other targets preferred not to play here, that were within their price range

So Hahn apparently had this to say as well. "That’s part of what makes this game great,” Hahn said, “and probably a guy the fans see fits with what we’re doing and (say), ‘Hey, they should pursue him,’ maybe we did. Maybe we have extra information where it shows that would’ve been a fruitless pursuit in the end, just based on the player’s preference for where they want to be, league or location." So once and for all, it's not just about the money.
-
That's odd, because all the talk was about how they were trying to contend this year. And had we expected to contend next year, would those pitchers magically turn 26 again? We will contend in 2021, so what is one year early?

It's called Indifferent Fan Syndrome (IFS). When a fan is let down so much by their team they no longer get excited, and accept anything. They no longer care or have reasonable expectations. There is no cure if you support a Jerry Reinsdorf led franchise.
-
So Hahn went from no one will care if we hit on our target December 5th or 20th to no one would care if we hit on them December 13th to January 13th. Keep moving those goal posts.
-
They went to the WS twice this decade and won their division 2 other times. It sucks now, but at least they had a great 7 year run.
-
We would need guys who are established to some degree.
-
Not that can help us this year and next. We need ready players.
-
Bentendo had an OPS+ of 100. So I hope he could pick things back up.
-
Well Slick Rick sat out this free agency anticipating his great conversations would lead to trades. So he better get it done.
-
Best believe part of the reason for extending Abreu was to use him as an excuse. Sign a bunch of low year guys to 50 and 70 million and say that was the money being spent. We are dumb enough to believe that had we signed Machado, they still wouldn't have spent money to improve the team this year.
-
Well that's the only way they are getting Vaughn and Magical AND us to eat Price's salary.
-
Why don't we eat the cash and keep the prospects? If they want Magical and Vaughn then they need to extend Mookie and include him and major cash.
