Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: They went to Harper over Machado. They traded for Segura, and spent $50 million guaranteed on McCutcheon. If he gets the 4th year team option, he's pretty close to the largest contract in White Sox history, and he's totally forgotten. Now they are in on Wheeler. If the Sox signed Harper, do you think they would shopping in the clearance aisle right now. What does any of this have to do with the point I made? My goodness man, you are just arguing at this point to argue. All I said is the Phillies have talked a lot about not being outbid only to be outbid. That was an accurate statement. Again, move the goal posts all you'd like. Edited December 4, 2019 by Look at Ray Ray Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: I remember when Sox fans were so worried because the Phillies were the "new front runner" for Machado. Turned out they didn't beat the Sox or the Padres offer. Phillies are a lot of bluster. They may get this done, but this is typical Philly operations. They said they wouldn't exceed their internal valuations last year, and I don't see that changing. Phillies may sign him but I worry more about the Reds. Where does this say "All bluster" Dick? They were a lot of Bluster. Everything I said in this post is true; outside of my speculation in the final sentence. Said Philly was a lot of bluster - point to two exact cases of this happening just last off-season (Machado and Corbin). Dick says I'm 100% wrong despite those things literally happening. My goodness. Edited December 4, 2019 by Look at Ray Ray Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Dick, this doesn't change what was said and reported and what actually happened; no matter how many times you point to other things, my point was they have been said to be front runners on a lot of guys they did not sign. That is, by definition, being blusterous. Edited December 4, 2019 by Look at Ray Ray Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Strasburg's market may be strange. I really doubt the Sox have any chance, but if someone offered something like 4 / 120, is anyone really going to beat that? Boras gets more money for him, so the opt out worked. But what team is really going 5+ years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Talking about pivoting to Rendon, Strasburg or Cole is a giant waste of time. The White Sox aren't involved on those players. There's really no reason to even ponder it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of interesting options out there that got non-tendered. Wish the last couple off-seasons would have had those kind of guys when we were tanking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
