What did bucket say?

Unless they get a good deal on him which is unlikely, I'd rather save the money to make a run at one of the big guys next offseason.

They wouldn't have traded for Alonso and signed Jay is they didn't want Machado.

lol the entire time we're over here worrying about the Dodgers in that trade and the Reds are the ones that might be going for him.

Seriously. Assuming 30m for Manny and 35-40 for Harper and we would still only be at 145-150 and still with flexibility. Let Abreu walk and offer a TOR a big deal next year.

God dammit just pay the man

I really wonder if we'll ever seen bucket again since Dave brought attention to him in the blog post.

I feel like even the team is trolling me now.

Think it's the "stupid money" quote. But I agree there's a much better shot to continually be in the postseason here vs the NL East. Way way less competition.

For the sake of my mental health this needs to end soon. This and other things has been stressing me out for days now.

Martin due 20M this year so it will definitely be interesting to see how much $$ Toronto is eating.

See: Heyward, Jason.

The worst is when I back out for say a half hour and come back to 100+ messages I always think something happened and nope.

Man, what I would give for bucket to come by with another "relax."

The issue with the market coming to earth a bit on high price FA is that they (or us) could probably afford both. I think its way more likely now than it was 2 weeks ago. I'm of the opinion that the Sox need to move on one of these guys now in case the Phillies "stupid money" comes to play.

Which should never have been Manny. The Yankees lineup is already stacked, Manny wasn't going to push them past the Red Sox. They still need pitching.

Think this is worth mentioning because Dave mentioned this weeks ago when all the Machado/Yankees smoke was out there.

100%. I'm going to SoxFest and I cannot imagine the backlash if they do not get one of these guys. The vitriol spewed at Hahn would be out of control.

The Harper/Philly stuff is legitimately scaring me now. If the Phillies think they have a good shot at Bryce and they hired Manny's mentor yesterday it says to me they want both. I hope waiting this out with a low to mid 200s offer doesn't come back to bite them in the ass.

If they felt they were out of the Machado race they probably wouldn't have hired his mentor yesterday. Honestly this legitimately scares me at this point that they are going for both.

Silence is normally how the Sox operate.
