Wonder if Harper signing with the Phils being close helps or hurts us? The Sox will be Mannys only suitor but Harper is gonna make a ton of money and Manny might want to top that.

Maybe another team involved will speed up the process for the Sox.

Lmao

Anything new? I don’t feel like reading back from last night.

I'm a genuinely negative person when it comes to sports, but I just feel like he's not gonna be a Sox player. Its just gonna drag on forever and someone is gonna swoop in and offer more.

Agreed.

I never buy player's uniforms/shirts (I have my name on here), but if we nab him I'm buying a Machado shirt.

Well, I think the longest lasting ones anyway. Remember in 2012 Orlando Hudson and Kevin Youkilis played third as well. Omar Vizquel in 2011. I'm sure I'm missing more.

Now that I think about it, that does sound familiar.

Morel. In the minors he was this high OBP with good defence and potential power bat and he came to Chicago and just, bleh. I know Sox prospects tend to do that, but man even his glove wasn't anything to write about (mostly 0 DRS seasons, with one being +3 in 2011). You could say the same for Fields (27HR/100wRC+ in 07) then flopped. Keppinger was a let down too. Probably should have kept Uribe and put him at third.

I think the Colts win. Luck is the more experienced QB and has a great line. The Chiefs and Maholmes are great, but I'd put twenty pounds on Indy.

skyline is the best

Thanks, Douglas.

Bucket, if you are allowed to share, could you divulge if/when you expect this to wrap up with Machado and the Sox?
