South Side Fireworks Man

I'm sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.

Well, I'll be upset if the Sox don't sign both.

Hahn should sign Machado then go hard after Harper, allowing no one to outbid the Sox.

Man, I hope the Sox and Machado agree tonight.

Harper will keep him in line.

Now sign Ottavino. If they do manage to get Machado and or Harper, they will need a strong bullpen to compete. If they strike out on the "whales" they'll have some nice flippable pieces to continue the rebuild.

I still want Harper too.

Yes, but if the Yankees offer 275 and the Sox counter with, say 300, I'd bet Machado would go with the Yanks.

Then Hahn better be putting on his running shoes because I doubt Machado would sign with the Sox for much less than that if the Yankees offer 275M.

Just as I thought. Sox need to go 7/325M.

So do I. Someone will offer him that much and he'll take it -- unless the Sox blow that offer away and offer him $325M. He's not signing with the White Sox if the offers are close. Just my humble opinion, of course. Bottom line for me is this: The White Sox must do whatever it takes to land both Harper and Machado.

I doubt they can entice him to sign with the White Sox for that amount.

Offer him 7/325M and wrap this up already. Then offer Harper at least 7/350M.

What about Harper??

Whatever it takes.
