caulfield12 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 That would be ironic. The large market White Sox getting a competitive balance pick in return from the smallest market Indians that have a payroll 200% bigger than ours.

If you see Jon Jay or Adam Jones signed this weekend, all hands on deck. Why would you be upset? They're doing everything they can, they've traded for a member of Machado's family for christ's sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It is pretty obvious what this acquisition is all about. If it works, it was fabulous. If it doesn’t, it will be a laughable move. Almost laughingstockish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really think it is a big deal Because we have a player that could be a long term solution for cheaper, is already as good, and there is no reason to acquire him.

Now, this type of move matters if say, for example, hes weighing a couple offers and the Sox have the highest bid by say $20m over the Yankees, a team he wants to play for supposedly. Only then does this extra stuff matter. Edited December 15, 2018 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 If the move doesn't work, who cares? Our payroll is dirt low and nobody else is worth offering a long term contract aside from Harper and Machado.

turnin' two Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 If Manny signs elsewhere, I wonder if the Sox just send him somewhere else. His OPS was 40 points lower than Palka's last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
