GreenSox Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I think KW is correct. It's not that they are cheap, it's that they are incompetent. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 “He and I clicked in the meeting " ? “Rest assured that no one is feeling what Rick and I are feeling because every single day since June of last year, this is what we had planned for, the pursuit of both Harper and Machado. Harper [was] well out of our range. With Machado we extended ourselves as far as we could without jeopardizing what we’re going to need to do in the future. " I also love the fact that JR wasnt willing to pay players 10 years from now when it is very likely that he won't be around anymore. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically, with those words, you've just vanquished any hopes of this franchise really making a run at it with the same ownership and KW/RH still around...brilliant marketing technique, Brooks Boyer must be sporting the same shell-shocked look Sean Spicer did in early 2017. And admitted that the Padres kicked your butts yet again, this time in a completely different manner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Now this will be fun. It's a shame that Thanos is being portrayed as wanting less life. It's a shame that Chicago winters are being portrayed as cold. Everyone play along, pick the most obvious thing you can and describe how it's a true shame that it's being portrayed as true! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 “Our fans would have been much more disappointed in our inability to keep this next core together,’’ he said. “We would have overextended ourselves had we gone to an uncomfortable level.’’ 9 years from now, Eloy will be in his thirties. And which is it KW? Manny just had to stay healthy, oúr offer was worth more money or We want the financial flexibility for our core 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about SoxTalk per se, as much as some of the comments I'm reading at "national" articles or other internet sites without the diehard fan base.

Sockin Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) This is absurd. They literally think all of these prospects are going to hit good god.

GermanSoxFan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 “I believe we got in the room with Manny Machado and Bryce Harper and if we were able to afford, they absolutely wanted to come here,’’ he said. “That was expressed to us. That’s all I can go by.’’ From the same front office that hyped up their fanbase by saying stuff like "money won't be an issue" and "we won't be outbid" Everything was done in bad faith. Essentially it was a sham, a charade. I am disgusted with them. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
