bjm676 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 file this under "No shit" but if they won't match $300M, then they are not getting Bryce Harper, either. What an embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used Yonder Alonso to make phone calls to season ticket holders? Holy crap this gets more embarrassing by the second Yup, I think the White Sox twitter account tweeted a video of him doing it. That's what I call a bait and switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If the Sox said in December that they didn't think either guy was worth 10/$300 I would have been mad but ok with it. If Harper goes to the Phillies I am fine with it as the NL got much tougher by those guys going there and the cubs have a tougher road which if the Sox are going to suck my next enjoyment in baseball is watching the cubs lose. Here is my issue... THIS FRONT OFFICE THOUGHT THEY WERE IN IT AND TOLD US THEY WERE.......AT 10/$300 THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN IT. They treated us fans like were are idiots, they were clowned into thinking they could get each player at a bargain price. Hahn and Williams suck at their job but here they are leading a rebuild. They are Gar/Pax.... I wish they would have just droped out when they knew they could not spend 10/$300 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what does it matter if the White Sox put their offer on the table and it wasn't close to good enough? If those clowns had sat on a $250 million offer all offseason saying they wouldn't go higher, and you got a $300 million offer, why waste your time with those clowns who said they won't go to that number even to get a deal done? Deal with the professional who put a fair offer on the table, not the clowns who thought they had a sneaky way to make the player take a $50 million discount. If you're Machado's agent, I'd think you'd still go back to the Sox in that scenario to see if we were bluffing. If he didn't, he must have been really, really confident the price was out of our league, which probably means our offer was nowhere close.

Princess Dye Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think it is right to dislike Kenny for various things he has done in the past, but as far as today, I'm basically seeing someone who looks legitimately blindsided. If he found out from a tweet while Hahn was being notified by the agent, then really what was KW even a part to, here? At all? Hahn runs things. Ownership sets financial limits.

hogan873 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Yeah, KW needs to stop talking. He's just confirming what we already knew, and he's pissing everyone off even more. Just shut up and start thinking of excuses for missing out on Harper...and every other big FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 1) Kenny needs to shut the fuck up for the love of God this is like pouring gasoline on a dumpster fire on loan from GarPax 2) Trade Alonso and Jay. They don't deserve the hate they'll get. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're surprised, thought they had a sneaky way to talk him into a discount, and they're repeating how $300 million was a price they just couldn't go to. So even if Lozano didn't call them, it didn't matter. They're just not a professionally run business or organization, and that's the entire story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
