"I would be a lot less annoyed about missing on Alonso if it wasn't for them lowballing him. Shit happens. You can't force a guy to play somewhere they don't want to but just hearing the half-assed nature of the offer after the whole "aggressive and decisive' thing makes for a real shit sandwich. Like just stop talking until you make a move Craig. We liked it with Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo. You're not charismatic enough to get away with the word salad non-answers and when you say something more certain and then it doesn't turn out it just pisses people off even more.

"@CEDDANNEGANG Normally agree with you just think Alonso would be the right fit for the next half decade"

"Not even just as a fan of any one particular team this Winter Meetings ended up being very underwhelming. Alonso Schwarber and Diaz the only particularly notable names signed. No trades of particular note. Nothing disappoints quite like a hyped event falling flat on its face"

"Alonso isn't particularly disciplined given how much he strikes out. I think its power with enough of a hit tool that every at-bat isn't boom or bust. I'd contend that Yandy Diaz would be an even better fit than Alonso since he doesn't strike out that much but sadly he isn't a free agent"

"If they didn't want to go five they shouldn't go five just don't say you're going to be "aggressive and decisive" if what you mean is "assertive within reason". In the grand scheme of things the communication between the team and the fans doesn't matter that much but as it's happening in real time this sort of disconnect is very annoying"

"@EricCrossMLB He's also younger than Bregman and Schwarber. Starting to think the Red Sox might be a little bit ageist"
