caulfield12 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Rick Hahn gets brownie points for giving it the ‘ol college try. Funny I got hammered for that when we were sort of in on him and not Soto. Scary to be thinking along with Rick Hahn. That’s not a good thing usually. Compare the number of pages in the respective threads. Granted, the national story broke first with the Soto extension rejected whereas the possibility of Ohtani going is relatively recent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want credit for the Sox having a seat at the table? Ok Rick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hahn going after Ohtani sells a single extra ticket this year, sure! They did the exact same thing with all the hype around acquiring Josh Peavy before it fell apart the first time.

Tony Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Who cares. There is no credit given for simply making an effort. (not a knock on the story itself or @southsider2k5) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not a knock on the story itself or @southsider2k5) Why do the White Sox want to make sure it’s out there…with some extra supplemental details even?

chw42 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Would Ohtani even sign an extension here? Seems like he wants to be on the west coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The offer was probably to sign Jon Jay and Yonder Alonso to minor league deals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee if you asked before this snippet came out, there'd be a few people here saying the White Sox based on the fact that they'd have to extend Ohtani. But also, in lieu of that, the Rays.

CentralChamps21 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The Sox tried to trade for Ohtani much in the same way I tried to get a date with a supermodel. There was never really any chance to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
