Not landing machado sucks but shit happens. What bothers me is the pr stunt the Sox pulled all offseason. Every chance Hahn or Kenny had they let the world know how in they were on him. Another professional organization keeps a low profile and ends up signing him. It just looks like such a joke to me

doesn't bother me that much. i'd rather have fewer assholes on the team anyway. but there's still some good talent out there and i expect to see some decent pickups before game #1.

That’s what worries me. I can see them going out and overspending on guys like keuchel

Yeah, who wants to pay a 25 year old two way superstar, generational player and probable future hall of famer? To have until he's 35, with the option of releasing him at 30. Only "good" guys ever win titles, after all. No assholes ever come out on top in a world series.

Especially when we have Yolmer Sanchez and Tim Anderson. At least they're "likable"... Hip-hip hooray... Golly gee, guys. It's not about wins and losses. We just want to have fun and share some laughs about the diamond!

This sucks...

Sorry, whatever, shit... just pissed

In fairness their offer was a good offer. We have to appreciate that he CHOSE the Padres. I do agree that it is disappointing but I dont think they flubbed it.

Chose? There was a 50 million dollar difference in their offer. Their offer was bullshit. If you want him go get him. Kenny and Hahn sounded like assholes. In no way was their offer better

They let Marwin go to a division rival. Who the hell are they going to sign? Adam Jones? Good player but not a fit at his age now.

In guaranteed money yes, but with incentives their offer was worth more. Seems to me he took the easier contract because he’s lazy

You have to be joking. Are you taking 300 million guaranteed with an opt out after 5 yrs or 250 guaranteed with at bats when your 35 and 36 deciding if you make 320 and no opt outs. It’s a no brainer.

I didn’t say their offer wasn’t better. I said they made a decent offer. I find no fault in the franchise wanting to protect itself from a guy with his lazy reputation

He doesn’t have a lazy reputation. He made a stupid comment that was blown way out of context by the media. The dude rarely if ever sits in an age where guys sit once a week

He made comment. Lazy players don’t play all 162 games in a season

No lazy players loaf down the line and that is where I got that opinion of him. He is extremely talented but also lazy

no. he's ALWAYS been a lazy non-hustling player.

for instance:
""Yes, he has a world of talent — at least 33 homers each of the last four seasons with a slugging percentage above .500 in that span — but he has a recurring issue regarding hustle.

Earlier in the NLCS, on another shot to short, Machado flat didn’t run out of the box.

It was noticed back in Baltimore, where Machado used to play and apparently made a habit of it, if this tweet from former Orioles great and current broadcaster Jim Palmer is any indication: Once again Manny doesn’t run hard""

what is this if not being lazy? and you can find these kinds of reports all over the internet. why defend the indefensible?

Maybe it is blinders because some want to be competitive so badly. Even with his reputation I would have gladly taken him on the team. However, as I said before, I dont blame them for wanting to protect themselves

I'm assuming you mean the Rockies are reaching an extension with him. Doesn't shock me with the way things have been going for the big names in free agency, but I'm a bit surprised that he is not at least waiting to see what would be in store for him if he played out his contract. My guess is the Yankees were ready to throw Manhattan at him from what has been written. It's supposedly why they opted not to get in on the Machado sweepstakes.
