Without Harper, sure. But I don't see them committing somewhere between $600 and $700 million to two players.

Sure, but Harper is already up over $300 million from his old team if you believe the latest reports. We are probably talking $350 to $400 million to get him away from Washington.

Their GM was out trolling their own teams players on twitter under anonymous accounts. THAT is embarrassing.

What exactly is the market for a back up catcher?

He screenshots were broken.

If you had told me in October that a thread about John Jay would have made 22 pages, I would have laughed at you

Get your back up off the the wall.

I am more embarrassed that somehow we should be doing less to attract top free agent talent.

The growth of FS has been insane, and a good chunk of that is directly because of your vision, hardwork, and effort Matt.

If you think you are getting a 3-0 fastball you swing for the fences if you swing. That doesn't mean you are going to get it.

If you don't think you can get Machado, I run out Engel and see what happens. I am OK with punting on 2019 if we don't get a whale. But if the Sox really think this could help them standout from the crowd for Machado, you do it. Why wouldn't you do literally everything you think you can do to win this? I mean it shows the White Sox have done their research on the guy and seem to understand who and what he likes. It is worth taking a chance on impressing Manny.

Yep, if he sucks, over the side he goes into the ocean and into Caulfield "remember when" lore.

Especially since if the Phillies or Yankees had done this, all we would hear are the Is Rick Hahn Sleeping jokes.

What CF do we have that could do that and play most of the season?

I am ashamed I missed this one.

Sticking with the theme tonight...

No, no, that is the Crocodile Rock made famous by Elton John.

Stop me if you've heard this one before...

Like I said one year, maybe an option. If it all falls apart, no big worry.
