Black_Jack29 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: The problem with the quote was it was well known Machado was going where they were offering the most money. Maybe someday the White Sox will learn that, and get off their thought that the White Sox have secretly been the dream destination for every player they want to acquire. It probably didn't help that San Diego County is arguably the nicest place in the country to live if you're wealthy.

Dude, is Hahn really this dumb? This is absurd! Just stop talking holy fuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thunk that after they acted like Machado was as good as signed. You know like making Yonder call ST holders and all that jazz. And they wonder why they are losing fans every year.

chitownsportsfan Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Jim's post on Manny is pretty much exactly why he's so damn boring as a writer. Dude, you can inject some emotion and speculation into your writing. It's 2019. Its your domain. You're not a beat writer covering crime in Rochester. Any single person in the world could have written that piece, but what do YOU FEEL? Edited February 20, 2019 by chitownsportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fucking asshole Hahn is always using these lines like" we are always looking for premium talent" along with a few others that seem like standard lines he rehearsed for awhile. And if you want to be more nauseated look a overthecap.com and look at next years projected payroll. its gone up a little since the Alonso and Hererra signings but still going to be ridiculously low. Adding Machado salary would still make it probably in bottom 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if we signed Bryce harper to 10 years 1 billion dollars our payroll would rank at 6th this year and just above league average next year.
