When it isn't announced in an hour we'll hear Bryce took his wife out for some pizza and wasn't able to agree to the contract over the phone, maybe when he reaches an area with better cell service they'll announce!

Dick Allen Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Just now, Mr. Showtime said: Of course. When it isn't announced in an hour we'll hear Bryce took his wife out for some pizza and wasn't able to agree to the contract over the phone, maybe when he reaches an area with better cell service they'll announce! The text is 3 hours old. He already said his 90% accurate guy missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I am glad that we're not the only fanbase that falls for "this huge FA signing is totally going to be announced at our fan fest". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 If the market is indeed terrible, I really wish the White Sox would zig when everyone else was zagging and sign both machado and harper to big time contracts around the $300 million mark. Coming into the offseason we were thinking Harper was looking at half-a-billion, and Machado would be over $325. Getting both for around the $300 mark would be an absolute steal. Obviously, the other teams would likely match it if that were the case and try to compete -- but it would be something if the front office decided to try to attack here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful, you're playing into the victims hand. Cast the first stone and then claim the roll of the victim when the stone comes flying back at ya. I get it though, it's hard to resist such temptation.

iWiN4PreP Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The latest 'news' is that the San Francisco Giants will be offering Harper a 'lucrative' short-term deal. Loool. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2019/02/10/bryce-harper-free-agency-san-francisco-giants-serious-late-entry/2829955002/ For anyone in the know -- we know the SFG will NOT be getting Harper. Just another one of Boras's tactics to try to drive up the market. SFG have a pretty bad financial situation and an even gloomier outlook for winning due to a terrible prospect system and horrid mlb club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of what that ballpark could do to his stats... he'd seriously be taking a big risk to play there. Small sample size, but he has a .164/.305/.284 slash line in that park.

Last I read, even though their payroll was high they owned a ton of the real estate around the ballpark and were one of the most lucrative franchises because of it.

They have a lot of overpaid old vets is probably what he meant. Belt, Cueto, Shark, Longoria, Melancon, etc. I would assume they have enough income to spend like drunken sailors if they want though.

Looking at those contracts will lead you to the conclusion that their in a disastrous financial situation for the next 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'm sure they could hypothetically go get Harper, but at what further cost? Limiting their moves for a team that isn't going anywhere fast. It just isn't happening there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they lease the land around the ballpark, but regardless a costly real estate development is extremely unlikely to provide a quick payback.
