He understood that given the current economic landscape, the importance of doing this early and being aggressive when we did do that.” JR: Rick, my accountant guy told me that according to something he read on Fangraphs this morning called "ZIPS" Eloy is probably going to cost us a lot of money in arb and you know I CAN'T STAND that! Rick: Don't worry JR, if it's one thing my ass has done for you it's save money. We'll get this one done before the season and get this -- I got a killer plan -- we'll wait until after Machado and Harper sign elsewhere so it makes the optics better. JR: You're gold Rick, you're really something. I keep you around for a reason. Edited March 25, 2019 by chitownsportsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Those quotes make it seem pretty obvious that the Sox signing Machado or Harper was likely a pipe dream the entire time. Jerry is fine with locking guys up if he thinks he is getting a discount but he isn’t willing to pay market value.

They misread the market, the entire organization sucks ass, things are terrible and the rebuild is faltering bordering on failing. Reading the same inane shit over and over is just nails on a chalkboard, you're not making a difference or bringing a new take, you're just stuck in a time loop. Congrats, you're angry, the other morons like myself that frequent this board already know the talking points, you're just screaming into the void. You're gaining absolutely nothing from this shit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 You’re right. I’m going to accept the obvious that the Sox won’t be legitimate players in free agency. Hopefully, Hahn can trade Rodon for another Eloy type prospect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just think it out for a bit and come back with an original thought. Posting for the sake of posting is largely bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that's bullshit. Until this ownership and front office is gone, it cant be talked about enough. The whole fanbase is being treated like a bunch of idiots. The only reason Eloy and Moncada are here is because this same front office couldn't compete for a playoff spot with two Cy Young candidates in the same rotation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassroots organization and uprising are great but at a certain point you're just repeating the same shit to the same people who already agree with you and those people get tired of hearing the same message. This isn't a political campaign where you can knock on doors and gain voters, you can't oust Reinsdorf, Hahn and Williams by posting, that shit is locked in. NO ONE IS LISTENING TO YOU. Complacency is obviously bad but this is a fucking message board, not a polling place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I know its Spring training but the way Leury, Yoan and Abreu looked, as well as improvements by Timmy and big plus having Eloy start the season in LF...there might be reason to be optimistic. Pitching is clearly suspect but I can see this team getting out of the gate rather nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not JR but I believe Hahn in the past stated that he follows social media and message boards. And no, I don’t believe they make decisions based on message boards posts but that couldn’t be any worse than the offseason Hahn had.
