Superstar Lamar Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Alonso and Jay were Reinsdorf's baseball equivalent of sending Benny the Bull to the airport to seal a deal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I know most will disagree, but I honestly think the Padres could have made the Sox offer, and the Sox could have made the Padres offer...and he still would have been a Padre. The position the Sox are in, they needed to get in early and hit the “Buy it Now” option to get this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a more desirable location, better road destinations. He goes to the White Sox and their rebuild fails- he would absolutely be miserable playing in that park. If the Padres fail, he’s in a great place for five years and then he can leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Hahn and company getting clowned by Machado and the Padres. Hilarious. Talk about a plan backfiring. It still won’t force them to do the right thing and sign Harper though. Edited February 22, 2019 by Harper2Sox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I think we're putting way too much thought into formality talk. SD guaranteed 50 mil more. No matter what happens in the next 10 years, SD promised that money and Sox simply said nah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was more of a "you don't want to play for this team" than San Diego is beautiful. He just worded it differently so the anger at Yonder and Jay is smaller.

I have no problem with his friends discussing with him their experiences, and if they loved it in SD, being honest. But, he has to know the situation.
