Consistent with what we all speculated. The fact that the braves are out helps...and if the cost is right our team becomes very respectable lineup wise with this and Manny. Unfortunately 1-2 year SP fliers are disappearing leaving us with Gio or Keuchel as the only options now if they want to make 2019 actually "competitive". I wonder what signing Manny, trading for Pederson and signing Dallas would do to the expected win rate...off to look at projections.

Halladay was the most dominant pitcher for a good 5 year run. Mussina surely deserves it...but was never the best pitcher in baseball. Gosh I always wanted Doc on the Sox. At least MVP 05 baseball made it happen...

Interesting article. Don't agree with everything here, but worth a look. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2816619-could-manny-machado-really-lose-in-175-million-free-agency-letdown?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=referral

Wiki says 1/25 signing....so this is some back to the future stuff. Also...I laughed hard...then cried because he is playing 3rd...

Who are you? Why do you post on this site? Is getting a life an option?

Agreed. He turns it around this year and he is close for a promotion and an expedited path.

Nice. Right after they announce the Manny signing....

This week should be the week. MLB needs some news to start hyping up Spring training before next week's Super Bowl Juggernaut takes over everything. Manny signs this week, we make a couple moves/signings after and Bryce's market is set and defined to ramp up leading to the super bowl. At least if I were a PR guy, that is what I would hope for...

I hope Eloy can stick in the field. That is perennial all Star corner potential. Collins or Burger can be DH and trade others for pitching.

Would Rutherford be too much? I tend to think I'd rather keep Basabe over him and eventually end up with Eloy, Robert Basabe as the outfield once pederson would move on in 2021

Within two years he will be top 2 RF in league and top 20 player for sure

Always money in the banana stand.

Last ditch effort to top what sox have. All this is.

He probably doesn't mind it since the rebuild could blow up in their face...and he'll only be 30 and still be able to get his cheddar. Sox will do it because they need to land a whale.

Yankees fans spin on this will be hilarious...arenado always been better den Manny boss! It makes sense though...trade andjular and stuff for him and Colorado gets similar production offensively potentially for much cheaper. I'd just sign Manny personally, but Yankees always do what they please. Leverage on Lozano is even weaker if true...

Woah. Yankees truly are out. Go crazy...https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/yankees-have-discussed-the-possibility-of-trying-to-trade-for-rockies-nolan-arenado-report-says/amp/

Xbox? I got over 100 wins, our squad is boss.

Does the page count final total increase more if we sign him or don't sign him?...

slow day. This is dragging until February unfortunately.

Guys it's obvious. It's a sox hat that Manny is borrowing because he is sitting out the season for a better contract and needs every hand me down he can get.

Agreed, but that was generated by the media and talking heads...this market is different and after JD Martinez should have been more obvious

I asked my wife if she wanted a swellopt last night and she opted out.

Agreed. Relievers on longer 3/4 year deals have shown that at least 1 year is generally a dud or an unlucky one, so basically paying an additional 9mil season hoping that 2/3 are good isn't best use of funds. Also, we have some good talent in minors ready within that time frame
