I get wanting him but it's not an "at any cost" situation. Then you are accepting that they’ll never land a FA onpar with Harper or Machado. It will never be more perfect for us than what is happening with limited interest among teams and two premiere players being available to split interest I am on board with at any costs for either one of those two. If we miss out, then what? Wait for Arenado or Trout? Continue doing what we’re doing and scrape up the 2nd/3rd tier FAs?

The Sox don’t need to become the place that no free agents want to go like the Bulls. Rick Hahn has been telling us, the fans, that they have been planning for this offseason for awhile. Now it’s time to put up and land a whale or shut up. Edited February 19, 2019 by Machado2Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I find it interesting how Rosenthal mentions nothing about the Sox ownership in that tweet. Maybe Jerry really is prepared to pay what it will take to get him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 When Rosenthal tweets please listen......he was spot on with the Alonso move. He’s not the guy to throw shit at the wall to see if it sticks.....hopefully with his comments this comes to a close within the next few days.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we miss out, then what? Wait for Arenado or Trout? Continue doing what we’re doing and scrape up the 2nd/3rd tier FAs? Exactly. There are two 26 year old Hall of Famers available for nothing but money. Let’s be honest. The Sox have no prayer at landing Trout. Arenado will be older than both Harper and Machado when he hits free agency. He will be 29 at the beginning of the 2020 season after he signs. People act like the Sox will have another shot at two young future Hall of Famers. I’m not seeing it... the fact is that there will never be a better time than now to spend big money on one of these two top free agents.

They’ve put themselves in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Let's go. Front load 2019-2021...let him be sold on the White Sox rebuild before the possible strike in 2022. This thing is almost over. Once they're playing games next week, players will know it's go time. Agents can only do so much...players will start forcing the issue next week.
