almagest Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Just now, MyNamesRod said: At this point, we just gotta hope Eloy, Moncada, and Robert turn into 5+ WAR players, and cease/kopech turn into 5+ WAR pitchers. This is the only way the sox will become WS contenders. It's possible but way less likely than paying an established player in the prime of his career what he wants so he comes onboard to anchor your team against the prospects that don't pan out. Other people have said it already but this is the biggest failure by this franchise that I can remember and I've been around for almost 37 years. It's almost unbelievable and it's all their fault. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to be Harper was just waiting for MAchado so he can tell the Phillies beat that and i'm yours. They have been receiving backlash all day, they (hopefully) aren't going to come out and say that Harper is an option just to "fail" for a second time.

chitownsportsfan Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Having a shit week at work too, the weather is shit, everything is shit. It's days like this you honestly wonder why you even care about sports. Was 2005 worth it? I'm honestly starting to think maybe it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure the Pads are "smarter". It might be they just have bigger balls and ponied up 300 guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, a three month long tease. Didn’t management have any idea through Soxfest, online, or any other avenue how badly fans wanted Machado? We’ve spent MONTHS fantasizing about it. If the Padres lost it, would they even be upset? How long were they in the discussion, a few weeks? I’d like to think JR has learned a lesson, but I doubt it. This one move completely soured everyone to the team. Bring Machado on board, maybe make a few moves, theyre definitely winning more games. Fans would be excited for the future, revenue increases, everyones happy. Well except JR because he’s worried about years 7-10 for a 26 year old elite talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can take solace in the fact that the Machado killed his previous HOF career. SD is where flyballs go to die. His HR total will plummet.

I think you missed my point, bud. I am wondering if he plans to dog it now that he has the "guaranteed" money. He has stated he is not "Charlie hustle". He still would have had the "guaranteed" $280 million(injuries or not) if what the Sox are saying is true about their offer. My thought is Machado maybe has no plans of going all out to make All Star Games or get any awards to earn more than $280 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
