Oh, I agree. That's why they will have to overpay to get a top tier free agent to chose them over a more desirable team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love an Alex Wood signing but he should be the SECOND free agent pitcher they sign, after the ace (Cole/Strasburg/Bumgarner). But I have a feeling it will be Wood and some much cheaper flier as the two starters they sign. Edited July 27, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 It’s a sad day when they’re looking for Ryan Goins to protect our cleanup hitter. All we had to do was sign Cruz to DH and we’d at least have a quite respectable transition year offense that would have been a blast to watch. Scouting.

The Sox got overbid on their ridiculous incentive-based contract. It was known in the media that Machado was waiting for an offer of $300 million guaranteed. The Sox wouldn't do it. Hence, he signed with the Padres. They offered $300 million guaranteed. This isn't fucking rocket science.

Fans on this board were totally against signing Cruz. I wanted to sign him and got put in my place. I had seen he's remained productive from the back of his baseball card. But it's the age thing. People would have bombarded Hahn with insults had he signed an older hitter. Also the steroid thing angers many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling we would all hate Vizquel because the word is he likes bunting as much as Ricky. I would definitely be cool with Girardi.

They are not paying big bucks for a manager. Its either Vizquel or some other first time manager. The only other option are re-treads like Renteria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season is over. He was productive enough when we still had a "chance." He could go ohfer 30 and I'd still like him. It's not my fault Hahn and the scouts don't normally sign good position players.

I truly believe Fathom coulda done as good a job or better than Hahn. I support his statement here. And no offense to McCann. I like him enough as a poor man's Fisk.

You defend Abreu for tanking it now that the Sox don't have any shot at the playoffs. Well, if what you say is true, fuck Abreu for not trying when he is earning $16 million this year. I hope they don't bring him back next year if he is really not trying while earning $16 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you need to reserve all your power and ridiculous posts to defend Abreu and his .791 OPS and shoddy defense. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
