Jack Parkman Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Just now, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: Wait weren't you making contingency plans to root for another team ? To rehash: 1. I never really bought the Bob from Niles/Olney tweets, BUT: 2. I said because the Bulls are a shitshow, and they have common ownership, you can't rule it out as factual. 3. I said all you can ask is that they make a competitive offer. At that point, it is out of their control. 4. I said if reports came out after the whole bullshit is over and done with, that they never made a competitive offer, at that point I'd go root for another team temporarily because JR had Bill Wirtzed himself and has proven that he thinks championships are too expensive. If that happened, then, I'd come back when JR is dead and gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I don’t think that theSox were leaking. The reports that came out makes them look horribly cheap. The Sox wouldn’t have made it this far in the Machado sweepstakes if their offer was south of $200M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statement states that the White Sox level of interest in Manny is completely wrong. Maybe they are at 7/175 and others are moving forward. You wouldn't take the sox publically off the radar as the Phillies would be bidding against themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown87 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Lozano has a fiduciary duty to Machado to get the best offer possible. He can't just drop the Sox because he's personally pissed unless Machado tells him to. But this definitely doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 People have to stop linking the Sox and the Bulls operations. While Jerry signs the checks for both orgs, his son Michael is running that ship and has been for a few years on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Too many big egos at play here for the Sox to get a deal of this magnitude done. Edited January 16, 2019 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more of a big F you to the media needing to fill their 24 hour news cycle with anything. It is absurd what Twitter has become this offseason.

Marky Mark Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 This is the same as when Hahn expressed frustration publicly about a week ago with false rumors. Now they're doing it on Lozano's end, that's all. We're even now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
