If he signs with Yanks, Hal can then mention to the media how they had these discussions and he’s comfortable with Manny.

Or so Machado could meet with Hal in person

It’s too early to tell, as maybe he’s meeting them for dinner after the funeral. I think the more intriguing this is if the Sox really did meet twice with Manny.

Just throwing this out there as a very slim reason why he was in town yesterday, but who knows, maybe they did his physical so this can be finalized this weekend?

I think the shorter meeting has more to do with the funeral. With that said, this is definitely not a bad thing. If it was a 90 minute “let’s set up your press conference agenda to sign with the Yankees next week” meeting, then the Sox never had a prayer.

Yep, Cubs signing Harper would be a good way for the Sox to be even more irrelevant in Chicago, which seemingly isn’t possible

what's this from?

He's a big shot in the financial industry, so he could easily know someone/something

BTW, I'm saying this before any decision is made, but I think Machado to the Yankees would be a total disaster. The NY papers are already critical of his hustling issues, and the narrative will surely continue if he signs there.

Reminds me of when Larry King thought Q was going to the Dodgers

He's a Yankees fan I believe, as he lives in New Jersey

Likely to be even more than that after incentives.

Maybe I’m being naive, but I feel like he will make up his mind by the end of the weekend.

The fact it wasn’t exciting or dramatic is a good thing

I bet they fly in ARod also

There’s virtually no way there aren’t reports coming out of his Thurs meeting saying the Phils are going to offer stupid money.

I know a few have said it but I think the certainty of the deal would help in negotiations. I do think it's interesting that Rosenthal kind of broke this news last week, as it was clearly presented to Harper.

You would think they'd have a good idea of incoming revenue instead of any uncertainty.

So we’re trading Rodon, Rutherford and Dunning?

oh it's there, especially with Harper

this guy is very legit

and pull a hamstring the first time he stretches for a ball

who would have tiebreak between Bears and Saints?
