Not for what he wants and QO attached

That’s what I’m saying, these teams are being patient because they know who they’re targeting and who they have to get rid of to make it happen. You’re not seeing frivolous spending by either right now.

I’d be willing to suggest the lack of rumors is illustrating that Boras isn’t panicking yet. Now if you see the Dodgers or Cubs sign Pollock, that all changes.

Would love to see them get Kluber

Do you think Lester signs with the Cubs though if he didn’t have the Theo connection.

Taylor is an option I love for the Sox. Lots of versatility and still control on his contract

My thought process all along was why go to a place that’s doing a rebuild with the possibility of the rebuild not working when you’re there for four years? That’s a good way to hurt your legacy, which Harper seems to care about a lot more than Manny. This is also where last seasons debacle at the major league level for the rebuild core hurts.

I just think they’re waiting on Kluber and/or Realmuto before seeing which path to go. I have a hard time imaging them holding on to Puig.

Dodgers are going to make trades sooner rather than later.

Plan b is something I’ve thought of a lot and there are no easy answers. I just hope the Sox don’t get caught off guard if they miss on these guys.

Correct, it’s why the Cubs added a year to Yu’s deal last year.

Dodgers/Cubs, and yes the 10 years is just to lower the AAV for luxury tax reasons. I also wonder if Yanks get involved again if they miss on Manny.

I think Harper’s going to take some type of 10 year deal that’s incredibly front loaded with the anticipation that he opts-out in 3 years.

Dodgers and Cubs all along were the 2 I thought were the only contenders. What better way to try to motivate the Cubs to offer Harper than to say the Sox are the front runners?

I could easily be wrong, but I’ve never thought Harper was considering the WSox. Always felt they were being used to set a market for him.

They need to do something. Sitting on your ass two straight offseasons doing nothing to advance the rebuild would be so disappointing.

Use that payroll to take on a one year bad contract like Kemp, as well as a good prospect.

Both the Dodger and Cubs have been too quiet. Especially Dodgers, they still have plenty of moves to make. I think the Kluber and Realmuto deals have slowed down everything.

Did Bowden predict anyone to Sox? Where he have Bryce going?

Would love to see him on Braves if he doesn’t sign with Sox

If the Yankees were offering 400 million, then he should have signed there on the spot before they could change their mind.

if Manny gets that number from the Yankees, then I don't blame the Sox for not crushing it

this is correct....great poster though
