There is no magic bullet for the Sox to close this deal. Sometimes you have to be patient. They must know what Lozano's number is and it is likely way over market. Lozano expects everyone to be chasing after him with money. That is not the case.
Palka is a lefty who earned another year to develop his hit tool. Matt pretty much bottomed out although he cut down on his K's. We don't have to pay much for Palka and he is ours.
We pretty much know throwing your top velocity on every pitch causes casualties. There has to be a better approach and making fun of Coop like some have is not the answer.
Strange way to introduce yourself in a public professional setting along with being a Cub fan. I am not opposed to his beliefs. Wish him well but won't expect a lot. Still looking for a mental gymnastics coach.
And it all comes down to one thing. When the rubber meets the road who blinks first. This is all part of a complex ritual. If the Sox know they have a chunk of dough to play with they can act coy.
If the Sox are offering 175 then they could likely reel MM in for 250. Of course it is all crazy money. I hope they will take it further if this offer is accurate.

Looks like the Reddit Harpo signing Saturday rumors were based upon hot air. No doubt there could be a meeting. I bet Scotties sees forums like this and gets all tingly. Certainly they are monitoring social media if not inventing it .
