BackDoorBreach Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 10/330 for Harper and 10/300 for Machado were the starting bids. The fact the Sox got neither is sickening. There is 20 million on the books in 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please. Sox whouod have given manny 300 million - that's inexcusable. Being out on Harper was fine at that price Completely disagree. Both deals were a bargain for what they bring. Anyone who doesn't see that is a moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 13 years 330. Again, the cheat codes were there to sign these guys. Sox live in a bubble where they didn't think it mattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper does so much more for your organization that Machado would ever do just based on marketability alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 There needs to be a boycott of our product this season. I'm hoping for Expos level of fan engagement. This front office is a joke and a total embarrassment. I don't care if they relocate since I don't even live in Chicago anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the rangers with a rod for proof. Or any other big contracts. They dont sell tickets unless the team is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sucks Jesus they even got Boras to go along with no opt outs and a low luxury tax number. They're going to go sign Keuchel or Kimbrel now since they minimized the tax dollar, they'd have been under the 2020 tax line but narrowly if they had allowed an opt out after year 3. They just made it so they can still add another player under the tax line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been doing cartwheels if the Sox got Harper, but would hate to have him at age 39... Bah, those last 3 years are nothing other than spreading out the tax payment. It's like deferred money - anything they get after age 34 or so is just gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
