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

and he selfishly lost his source....he needs to get his priorities straight

I'm guessing he's waiting for David Robertson to sign. Have a feeling one of them goes to Boston (DRob), the other goes to Yanks.

I think rabbit meant Harper, and not Machado in this instance.

Would love it if Brewers found a way to get Kluber

Just saw something that said it puts mutual followers at the top, so in your case since you and him both follow Anderson, he'd be at the top. This is why Phillies fans are seeing those guys at the top.

Well if he followed them in the last five hours, I’d be concerned. Besides that, not a big deal.

If Yanks offer 8/300, it’s a done deal for Yankees. With that said, always thought Sox should over 10/350 with opt-outs at 4 and 6. They can front load deal with 40 per for first 4 years. Saving money for the slim chance at Bryce wouldn’t be wise IMO.

yes, definitely Alex Gordon. Before that, maybe Tanaka?

He's going to see a lot of lefties in the NL West, so I wonder if they strictly platoon him. If he gets to face mostly righties, he's going to be a beast there.
