I get it, Machado wanted to play for the Yankees. But until the Sox sign someone of significance there will always be the stigma that players just don't want to come here. The culture or stigma around this team needs to change and it needs to change in a hurry.

Because he's an actual baseball reporter that has connections to Machado from when he was with Baltimore.

He's a former Orioles reporter.

Yonder and Machado golfing.

Wonder if the rumor has anything to do with Realmuto. No one seems to want to budge on the Marlins price but the Sox could do a quantity package and beat out lower offers.

Competitive Balance Tax

He had the Goldschmidt trade about a week before the national guys, not sure what else.

I really really hate delusional teams. The Giants have no shot at competing this year. The Rockies and Dodgers are leagues better than them. And the Cubs don’t have any high profile arms that would make acquiring Heyward worth it. They should be trading Bumgarner to salvage something.

Oh for sure but there might be merit to the Dodgers not wanting to spend on a long Harper contract.

Dodgers in talks for Kluber and want Castellanos. They want a right handed OF. Could be posturing to get Bryce to bring his ask down.

OT but dig the pic, love The Man.

It's pretty clear here that Bryce was wearing the Sox hat because he's already signed with us but since its not announced yet he had to switch hats with his friend for the picture.

Have the Sox sending him talking points /s

I think worst case scenario is the Cubs getting Harper.

Harper to LA and Manny to NYY is the reasons teams tank, whats the purpose of trying to compete when the rich get richer. The league has to do something about parity.

Because Nick Krall is a moron.

lol the Reds are worthless.

An infatuation with the Dodgers outfielders in an effort to falsely compete in a very tough division.

Good. Let Yonder keep selling the Sox on Christmas and New Years.

Obviously agree with this but their reputation is such shit right now that money is only a part of the deal. Once they do land one big one though it will be easier to land other guys.

If we’re relying on old sources, where’s bucket?!

On Monday he claimed to have inside info and said the Sox are Manny's first choice and that he'd be staying in Chicago until he had to go to NYC for his meeting. Said that MM was ready to sign with the Sox on Monday.

It was similar. They took him to lunch, then the park, then dinner. 10 hours total. There was a poster on here who works with the radio team who was told that.

Yeah my bad, should have made it green.
