SoxAce Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Boras really has done a 180 from last season's winter meetings. Amazing what a stud, young player does to your psyche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 2 minutes ago, Orlando said: Does anyone else feel like Boras is basically telegraphing to other teams that the Sox are in the lead and it's time for them to beef up their offers? I mean he addressed a bunch of the concerns we have had about the Sox chances. I think he meticulously crafted his comments so that fans of every team that's in the running believe that they're the frontrunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he addressed a bunch of the concerns we have had about the Sox chances. He's not telegraphing anything. He is just mentioning that he won't rule out a team that lost 100 games even if he actually would. He could be using the White Sox to get more from somewhere else, he might love what they are doing, and signing with the White Sox gets what he wanted. He and Harper are the ones in the know. We can speculate but you could make a legitimate case either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like we have to hope they aren't able to clear enough space to offer enough Precisely. The Cubs and Dodgers might be able to match our offer if they had more payroll flexibility and didn’t have a bunch of positional conflicts. And if my aunt had a **** she’d be my uncle. Talk to me when either team has actually done the things necessary for them to make a competitive offer for Harper.

Lillian Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 9 minutes ago, The Sir said: Hopefully Bryce hates LA as much as I do. Seriously, I don't know why it's some sort of trope in our country that people get rich and move to LA, or move to LA so they can get rich. I flew through there the other day and it's easily the shittiest place I've ever been, and I'm in the Army (i.e. going to shitty places is sort of the point, for us). Ditto. You'd have to pay me about as much as this guy is going to get, just to live there. It's a little heart breaking for someone who remembers what a great place Southern California used to be. The fires are just the last piece of the total disaster, that is Southern California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's doing great, let him come up and face big league hitters. By September if all goes well he could already very close to his innings limit so an earlier call up if he's kicking ass is very possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. He's on the same path as Kopech but has fewer innings each year, so he will hit his innings limit earlier than September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, anything I've heard that's bad about their relationship has been purely speculative and based off the fact we don't employ many of his clients. So it could be a good relationship.
