    As I think about it more, the acquisitions of Jay and Alonso may not have been as counter productive, as we all assume, providing that the Sox intended to sign Harper, all along. Aside from the potential to help bring Machado as well, which failed, they could fit, if Harper is signed and the Sox intended to make a run for the Division, this year. We understand that they are both only going to be on the roster for one year, and they aren't really holding anyone back, except Palka, who would be replaced by Harper, anyway. They would have a decent lineup, with good balance, from both sides of the plate:

    3B Moncada. SW

    CF Jay. LH

    LF Eloy RH

    RF Harper LH

    DH Abreu RH

    1B Alonso LH

    C  Castillo RH

    2B Sanchez SW

    SS Anderson RH

    If Santana is really healthy, he is fine as a middle, or back end of the rotation starter. for one year, until Kopech and Cease going the rotation, next year.

    The Bullpen has been fixed.

    The point is that Jay and Alonso could be useful, if they sign Harper. Without him, their presence is indeed counter productive. So, yet one more argument for a scenario, in which they have always intended to pursue Harper, even though they brought in Manny's 305 Club, which did at least serve to conceal, or confuse their true intentions. It's the kind of stealth and 4 D chess, which is probably beyond our front office, but we won't know, until Harper is finally signed, if ever.

     

     

    That sounds gravy, I just can't put that much faith into Rick Hahn at this point.

    Arrow is def not pointing up Rick, guaranteed rate bro.

    He said he's the last person to tell fans how they should feel about this rebuild given the circumstances but folks around the league think Sox have a great thing going.

    Has ChicagoWhiteSox ( the poster who was the most positive about signing Manny) said anything yet since the announcement of the Padres getting Manny ? I've read through a lot of posts and haven't seen anything from him. I'm seriously worried about him.

    He's moving to Nashville.
