I know that, but that would be the reason. Offer him the most money. After all, poor little ricky couldn't have been lying yesterday when he said the money would be spent, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His comments today were infuriating for me. Not his fault he was hung out to dry by the FO, but he provides absolutely zero benefit to being here right now.

ChiSox59 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I would be excited if we signed Harper, but the disappointment when he signs elsewhere for me personally won't even come close to what I felt yesterday. Harper is going to be a bad contract. We have a slew of OF prospects. The fit isn't that great. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hahn was going on and on yesterday about being proud of their creativity. Yet they lost to pretty much a straight 10 year $30 million a year contract with limited no trade and an opt out after 5 years. Why is he proud? He lost. I thought this was binary.

I suspect he'll be shipped out as soon as Hahn finds someone who will absorb his salary. That could be this week, it could be in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time believing that the Sox aren't/wouldn't be offering Harper anything other than 7/150 with 250m in "incentives" and "escalators" Our FO is the junior league champions!

What is there to be proud of? They lost to a standard contract! No one wants to hear how you built a losing deal that completely misestimated what it would take to get it done. Unbelievable.

Yes, it will... on a collection of mediocre veteran retreads over the next ten years that the front office will think can turn it around and have career years upon signing for more than they are worth.

Perfect Vision Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Okay, reasons for us to still be optimistic about Harper: 1. The Sox non-tendered Avi. They didn't do that to sign Adam Jones, and it's highly doubtful they did it to give Palka 150 starts there. 2. The Sox met with and recruited Harper at a time when it was already known that Harper had turned down a $300 million offer. Kenny's comment yesterday doesn't make any sense in regards to Harper. 3. The Sox sent Jim Thome to court Harper. IMO they don't do that to not be involved now, when Harper's market really hasn't changed much since that meeting. 4. Bucket said in early January that the Sox felt good about where they were with Harper. Rabbit tweeted yesterday that Reinsdorf had budgets in place for signing both Harper and Machado. 5. The Phillies have their limits. We saw it with Corbin, we saw it with Machado, and Klentak said as much yesterday. They are not unbeatable. 6. After the fall out from yesterday, I fully expect that Boras will reach out to Hahn and/or Jerry. Boras is our best friend right now. His specialty is generating interest when the current interest might be low. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacock Wrestler Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 CarGo will be the Sox right fielder next season. He's the perfect level of washed up/ injury prone this team is used to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Phillies not going to a huge number for Manny or Corbin is overrated. It's very likely they were reserved with those two because Bryce is their main target and they need to make sure to have enough to get him.
