he gone. Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I mean, it took what, a week? for the Machado deal to look pretty darn good. Once these MLB redoes their players association deal you better believe they'll get a bigger piece of the pie earlier in their careers. Owners are making more than ever and players aren't going to stand by. We'll look back at Machado for $30mm and laugh at ourselves even harder while we have Mark Teahen or Brent Morel manning the 2025 hot corner. The Sox FO is just terrible & isn't going to change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Oh look JR and Hahn waited around too long and now Machado at $30mm looks like a good deal & the price on Harper just went up to $36mm per year instead of maybe being able to get him at 10/320. Clowns. We're mired in mediocrity. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Why are we mad that Nolan signed the extension? I think it’s pretty cool. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 People are shocked at the price, but a team will be paying Harper a higher AAV for those same aged seasons soon enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) A premium free agent off the market. Maybe the White Sox will realize they need to pay Harper now. Personally, at this point, this may be the best thing that could happen. If the Sox were to put their eggs in the Arenado basket, that would mean Moncada was a bust at 3B, and would be moving to yet another position. And it's one less option for the team moving forward. Maybe Uncle Jerry will open the purse strings a little bit more. Edited February 26, 2019 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 agreed with Fathom, the extension is good for baseball. Sox better hope Yoan is a solid 3B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Opt out after 3 years, that's a great contract for Nolan. Edited February 26, 2019 by TheTruth05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 It's fine that Hahn missed on Machado and Harper. There are some great free agents in the next few years that Hahn can sign! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reinforces how big of a failure it was for the Sox to whiff on Machado, and likely Harper soon. The premium free agents are going to get the guaranteed years and payday, a club either needs to step up or sit out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I would not have been confident that the Sox would have won any bidding war for him either though. I’m sure that there would have probably been even more of a market for him than there was with Manny and Harper this year. The odds would have been greatly against us.

That offer contains more guaranteed money than the White Sox offered Machado and Arenado had a year left before free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
