Neither are on the West coast Cubs are a bigger market when he wants small market He didn't want a team that was already established He could get DH at bats with the Sox but would have to play the field with the Cubs We have Don freaking Cooper I knew we were a long shot, but seeing the Cubs still in it gets me mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the West Coast thing is so important to him, anyone outside of the Pacific TZ has no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm glad people decided to debate the "potential" of him signing with us when many of us constantly stated we had no chance. My odds did go from 1:1,000,000 to 1:1,000 - so I'll give you guys that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 So, the Yankees are out and they have one of the top international signing pools remaining right? Those Braves kids, some of them are going to NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Braves kids, some of them are going to NY. Don't get me wrong, this rebuild is the most exciting thing to happen to this franchise since 2005, but the Sox definitely have a lot of big obstacles to jump over if they are going to a world series sometime in the beginning of next decade. Those Astros are only going to get better, the Red Sox are young...but I think the Yankees are going to be the team to beat for years to come with that team they are building over there. They are going to be very hard to beat in the future when their kids develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to be very hard to beat in the future when their kids develop. Cashman has done a great job of leveraging talent and fiscal power. I can’t think of a recent example better than Chapman for any team. Acquired for relative peanuts, traded for a mint, re-acquired months later for only money and no draft picks surrendered. Quite the trick. I believe Hahn has done an excellent job, and is as competent as any GM in the game. We were lucky to have not had him poached before his promotion. I think we have the clearest path to success in a couple years within our division, but the Yankees will be a force as well. The key is to make the playoffs and hope that you come in hot.

LittleHurt05 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 With the Yankees out, I'd bet Greg's entire real estate portfolio on the Mariners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Yeah, seems like Seattle might be the favorite, which I’m totally ok with. Payroll wise they’re definitely not a small market team, but it doesn’t seem like their system is overflowing with talent and they aren’t exactly a powerhouse at the moment. San Diego is probably the next biggest favorite and perhaps an even better landing spot from the Sox’s perspective. Honestly, at this point, as long as the Dodgers or Cubs don’t land him I’ll be pretty happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to lie, the Cubs being one of his finalists either makes him A. full of crap on his so called "requirements" or B. Alot of BS came out of those "sourced" preferences about his wants in a team. Kind of annoyed the Sox didn't even make the finals when we checked of most if not all his preferences yet the established,non west coast Cubs did.
