This whole charade doesn't make any sense. if they weren't willing to top 30mil AAV It's not a charade if they consistently fail.

All Hahn can do is work the best with what he is allowed to spend. This shows that Reinsdorf was never going to sign off on a $300 million contract. He's the cheap ass and the reason this team won't spend money. counterpoint: Hahn has been here nearly 20 years and he and KW have one good season to show for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought they could bring in his friends and have it be a party and the fact that they wouldn't put a fair offer on the table wouldn't matter. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgiggles15 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 What if the Sox did this cause they felt Harper wanted to play here more and found him a better fit financially? Just trying to think positive on this dark day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we wasted an entire off-season to get to that point. And what's the point of having tons of payroll flexibility if we aren't going to spend it? If we won't pay for Machado now, we will never get a big time free agent with the current ownership group. This is what I don't understand. This is exactly what was speculated from the get go. If the Sox were serious, they would have been there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Machado wanted to play along side Tatis Jr for the next 5 years + But what did I expect? It's just business as usual for the White Sox. I'm just glad its over so I can go back to hitting F5 on MiLB box scores and continue to ignore the MLB team. So now WTF do we do with the collection of replacement-level Machado homeboys we've collected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I may become a Padres fan. Going to be awesome watching Manny and Tatis in a lineup soon. But hey... we got Jay, Alonso and Shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCsoxfan Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Left high and dry. Should’ve spent the money along the way on decent players if you weren’t going to pony up. They had every chance to close the deal and didn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
