Boston fans seem to think this means either David Robertson to Boston or Manny to Yanks. Followed up by the White Sox signing Sale and his labrum or elbow falling off.

Yep, need to blow him away with an offer. He was never choosing the Sox if their offer was even in the same vicinity as the Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Tanks willing to trade andujar. Yup Manny to yanks. Just build up the system. Use that money into scouting and what not. Untill the sox make a name for themselves they ain't gonna attract any big name f.a. which is fine if they do what they gotta do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Gload Fan Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Everybody is getting so down right now. The Yankee media is talking the morale up because they had to sit through what we had to the last 2 days. Spinning positivity as actual facts to get people off the ledge. We are still in this thing. I truly believe that. We may not have the prestige, but money talks and we will be there in the end. Cheer up, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Are Sox fans better off (if we somehow don't sign either guy) for having once again gotten our hopes up and actually conceptualized a world in which we could believe these signings might take place....or the front office having said nothing publicly and kept it all a secret, for fear of the backlash if everything went to hell? The problem we're likely to have NEXT off-season is the fact we're almost going to have to add at least a #2 starter on the free agent or trade market...which means they would have to focus like a laser-beam on Arenado or Rendon, with the likelihood that at least one of them won't even be available at this time next year. As much as we say we should avoid an overpay here for a guy who might be a #5-10 talent in MLB (as opposed to A-Rod when he went to the Rangers)...isn't it going to be even more difficult not to overpay next year when there's only one really legit 3B on the market? I guess Sox fans will survive this, we've already survived a century, after all...but Harper to the Cubs would be the ultimate gut-punch.

fathom Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If they don't land Manny, I truly believe they move Yoan to 3rd and sign someone like Dozier. Adding no core pieces this offseason would be pathetic by Hahn though. As for getting the hopes up for the fans, they deserve every criticism they'll receive if they miss out on both.
