I hope some clear contract offer amounts are provided by reporters so that we know how things actually went. And I would hope Hahn gives more insight on what the plan is next if they miss out on the whales. Yeah because if he isn't signed by SoxFest what was all this even for.....................

LittleHurt05 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Jeez, Buster Olney is nothing but a mouthpiece anymore, zero reporting or insight. And I bet they could hire 3-5 actual good reporters for whatever salary hed getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny the Bull and Southpaw come out dancing on the stage, Hahn announces the deal, Manny comes out of a huge box, JR is wheeled out making money rain and the Loveabulls and Chevy Pride Crew throw out tickets to the crowd? Sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Soxfest is really not that big of a deal and certainly not as important to the FO as many probably hope. I’ve always seen it as a nice time for Sox fans just to be around other Sox fans in the middle of our winter wasteland but it doesn’t have much more meaning in the grand scheme of things.

GreatScott82 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Rick Hahn’s kids are big WWE fans. It would be pretty awesome if Rick announced the signing during the first town hall meeting at Soxfest and Machado came out from behind the curtain in a Sox hat. It would be similar to an nWo recruitment right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or when NWO came back in the late 90's/early 00's and Vince was giving quick, creepy promos all show and then he finally spun around in the chair and the chair had NWO written on it? Hahn gives a townhall, lights dim, he spins around eerily chuckling, chair says MM on the back, Machado comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox fans are going crazy. Welcome to the sWo the Sox World Order. Who will be the next signing, Bryce? Markakis? Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I don't think SoxFest is any kind of deadline as the Sox can afford to wait as long as they have to, I just thought they would want to have Machado there if at all possible.

I keep coming back to that... what if Machado and the Sox agreed to terms around the time they traded for Alonso, and the Sox are waiting to make a splash? Or they promised him they'd match Harper's deal? But then I keep coming back to that 300mm is sooooo much money that the Sox couldn't risk something getting messed up or falling apart.

Sure, how much more money are you willing to spend to get it done prior to SoxFest? Like is him being there worth a million bucks even? Probably not.

Oh yeah, it's totally ridiculous to think we'd spend more with Soxfest looming. Just the fact that they'd be holding off announcing or in any way augment a quarter of a billion dollar deal just so a few thousand fans can get happy at a convention they already paid to go to seems beyond silly.

shipps Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The Sox happen to get a deal done with someone once before Sox fest to get a nice buzz going and make for a feel good weekend so now every year around this time fans think they have to do that. And the funniest part of it is it was probably just a coincidence that they got one done at that time too. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but Hahn should expect questions from fans as opposed to the same garbage that the media asks him. Hopefully there are some good targeted questions and follow up questions asked so he answers with something instead of giving a politician’s response.
