At least the Southside fans have not been given false hope, that might have led to them wasting money on tickets.

Crying about losing the guy who doesn't hustle in the world series? In a couple years he will be an overweight fat lazy slob.

That is possible. But like Miggy, he may gain weight and keep on raking. Though he is not ever going to be Miggy in his prime.

Who would pay $300 million for a baseball player? That's just stupid, if the Sox were anywhere near that offer.

It's a blessing in disguise. Spend money to build a damn team--don't just play the fucking Lotto.

It would be cool to see what some of these teams value these guys at with their REALLY.BIG.COMPUTERS. It's hard to imagine that any of them are worth these mega contracts. There are no more Barry-Bonds-on-juice in the league anymore.

Machado wasn't just a the lotto. He was a very logical piece of the bigger rebuild. He was that one star to go along with all the younger players.

I agree totally. In addition to being one of dirtiest players in baseball. The guy is a legit star but a bad guy. I don't regret them not signing him to a very young team.
