What players of this caliber have the Bulls and Sox signed recently? We cannot forget Chicago's best FA signing ever in Marian Hossa, that worked out wonderfully.

Yes they should be, y’know, better at baseball, but the fans are going to take the Machado frustrations out on them and they don’t really deserve that. Yeah the players dont deserve any of the manny scrutiny. I hope us sox fans give all of the players loud ovations on opening day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope us sox fans give all of the players loud ovations on opening day There's no point to boo Alonso and Jay when JR and Hahn should be the ones getting introduced and booed by the crowd...there's nothing that they did wrong to deserve that. In fact, it's more likely to have an even further negative effect on getting free agents to want to ever come to play for the White Sox...I'm assuming the fans are smart enough to distinguish between the responsible and innocent parties. And it's not like either of them ever promised to deliver Machado, because it was never in their hands in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Ozzie’s Cuban Cigar said: The fact is, other than an injury which could happen to anyone, there was no downside to signing Machado. First and foremost, it legitimizes the White Sox as somewhat relevant. More ticket sales, more jersey sales, more TV/ad sales. In short more revenue. It also creates more positive “vibes” in town and nationwide( which there is almost none) More optimism among fans and casual observers you are trying to reach. These things create revenue to more than account for the $50 mill they wouldn’t shell out. Penny wise and dollar stupid. Ok, while missing out on Machado was a clusterfuck, this is fantasy. The dude has his baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'm saying whether, or not, I agree with Smith, but maybe this will help console some of those who seem unable to accept that the Sox didn't sign Machado: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith is a clown whose career is based on yelling his stupid takes on things. His entire screaming argument in that video is that no one is worth a 10 year deal and that the Padres have sucked for a long time. Amazing take in the Machado signing.

Chicago White Sox Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I still can’t believe we lost out to the fucking Padres. Hahn should be flayed alive for saying we have “unprecedented financial flexibility” and then not even offering a market value contract. What a fucking clown show this organization is and I dream for the day accountability becomes an integral part of its culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like they are going to be able to block it out. And obviously, when our top prospect is writing articles in the Players Tribune titled "I'm ready" to try to force management to call him up, we can judge that no one in the organization is going to send these top prospects good messages, so the only people left to do so are the 10 fans in the ballpark, right?
