I hope Lozano sent a screenshot of the money the Sox spent on bringing in Manny's buds with a laughing crying emoji. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the Padres are living the good life the Sox were supposed to have. Wait... what? Sox were supposed to get Urias? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox were offering more money but less percentage to family, and Padres offered more to the family for less overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 If the Sox felt their offer was superior, why didn’t they downgrade it like Lozano wanted and signed the player? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) From what I remembered, the Padres weren’t one of the teams interested in Machado until more recently. Who knows... maybe if the Sox budge and raise their offer a bit from $250 million a few weeks ago they get Machado to sign before the Padres jumped in with their late to the party interest.

Machado didn't tour and meet with them but it does sound like the Padres were at least in contact all offseason. This is probably the first time that Machado's side dropped their ask down to $300 million all offseason. The Padres professional general manager just got his ownership to act on a good contract offer when the real proposal came, unlike our clowns.

The spin on this is as bad as losing this deal. They couldn't have handled this worse from start to finish. Just an embarrassment of an organization at this point. They deserve every bit of ridicule they receive. I've never had less faith in this team than I do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi Town Sox Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) I am definitely sickened by missing out on Machado but it's interesting to imagine that maybe his interviews didn't go over that great, whether it be the hustle comment or the "dirty plays" over his career and it caused multiple teams to not want to go to $300M and try to get him for a "discount". Phillies wouldn't go $300M? Padres outbid everyone...crazy. Edited February 20, 2019 by Chi Town Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillies wouldn't go $300M? Padres outbid everyone...think about it. And yet, his final contract came in pretty much right in the range people would have guessed at the start of the offseason. Maybe at the lower end, but the Yankees also weren't involved. No need to take anything from the fact that the White Sox wouldn't go that high. They're clowns.

Vote4Pedro Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 To me this goes back to what I was saying earlier. The Whitesox were not in a position to call anyone’s bluff on a take it or leave it scenario whether be setting a deadline or being cautious with the money. This is essentially what happened. The agent said we got someone at 300 mil, the Sox called their bluff and said no and we lost out on what we really thought we had in the bag. They will continue to lose out on big named free agents with having the worries of saving a buck mentality JR has. It’s sad, but true you can’t have nice things thinking that way especially when going into this offseason it was well known both Harper and Machado were looking for around 300 mil...
