We can, Jerry just won't!

And nothing that was said by KW or HAhn gives me any reason to believe Harper is even an option right now. If I had to be Harper was just waiting for MAchado so he can tell the Phillies beat that and i'm yours.

The thing I just can't get my head around is they offered 250/8 thats what 31.25/yr? If you make such an offer with an opt out after year 5 wouldn't that say you you're ultra supreme optimistic that he is gonna be a top 5-10 in the league over the next 5 and almost assuredly opt out? So if you match SD's offer you would be saving 1.25/yr the next 5 years by adding the 2 addition years and 50 million that has maybe a 2-5% chance of actually being paid out?

I know its not exactly apples to apples but the Bulls were willing to give the sack of shit Jabari Parker 20 million/year but the Sox not give MAnny Machado 30

Its incredibly hard to continue to support a team when there is no indication they give a shit

Honestly my ask to Sox fans do not take it out on Alonso and Jay. Hell maybe not even on HAhn and KW. It's ownership. Don't go to the games. Don't spend money on clothing. They don't want to spend the money then maybe we shouldn't give them anymore.

Embarrassing day for the organization

Today... is not the day

My biggest thing is the Sox could've cooled all the expectations down all winter by down playing our interest and if we got one or the other or both it could be a holy shit moment. Instead they embraced it and promoted their interest to us the fans. Barring an insane offer of like 375 million they better get this done. And considering the Tatis deal they better not lose out again to SD

The Patriots guy said tuesday...

This is amazing! Lol

Completely random and off topic but I think i've fallen in love with Allie LaForce tonight during NBA All Star Weekend...

But he hasn't tweeted anything in year. I would've thought the regular season ass whooping the Saints gave Philly or the Saints playoff comeback would've been strong chances to troll them if thats the case lol

Its just so odd and weird, he has 2 tweets in the last 11 months and their both about the Sox signing both...?

Everyone has that 1 person that gets to them could Preller be that guy for the Sox after how the deal with SD went and turned out so maybe the Sox are willing to get out of their comfort zone to make sure they don't lose again to SD?

A dangerous game of chicken being played by the Sox to stand their ground?

So it appears to be known MAchado's preffered place in Chicago and really doesn't want to go west. Now this guy is saying the PAdres are willing to go where MAnny wants in years but doesn't mention money. Doesn't this just scream an agent leak to get the Sox to go from 8/240-260 up to 9/270-290?

What's the twitter account that is supposedly Theo fucking with Jed?

In all seriousness i have no doubt Theo Epstein was either wetbutt or katyperry

Oh my god is that new bullpen coach Kerry Wood...! lol

I bet we are all just crazy over reacting and panicking. MAnny probably already decided and told the Sox he's signing but just stalling because once he signs he has to report to camp. I feel not neccesarily the locker but the locker location is proof of this.Get a couple extra weeks of vacation in and then sign. My guess a week from Sunday or Monday

This is before ARb numbers of course. However Abreu and possibly Jones and Castillo will be off the books. Thats The 13 million for Jones and Castillo are options that are included in that 26...

Well ya obviously lol. Thats why i want to be greedy and get both. We still wouldn't be 100 million

Their payroll is at 26 million for 2020.
