Well this is certainly interesting.

I'm probably wrong but if they're negotiating now I feel like that might be good if the Sox are still in? Could the Cubs/Dodgers negotiate that well if they couldn't promise anything without a few contingent trades?

Looks like Boras is about to hold court.

Also FWIW IB has good sources here.

Garfein is already pushing the "hey you know Adam Jones might be a pretty good option." crap

Levine said on 670 this morning that they’re on the outside looking in on both guys right now.

FWIW Matt Lisle (new White Sox hitting coach) follows this guy.

Yep, a few days before it was announced as well.

Beginning to think we’re being used to drive the price up.

We are boned if this happens.

As much as I would like to believe he's hinting at something, I think its just him re-sharing his article haha.

Can you imagine being an Angels fan? Throw money at top tier FA and ignore everything else.

Harper and Machado are holding everything up and it doesn't sound like either of them are going to sign anytime soon.

Have they wanted Grandal before?

Yep this is the guy I thought they'd be after.

Only way I can see the pay cuts thing (if the poster was serious) is whoever made the call or sent an e-mail was joking because they'd be spending so much money.

3/$50m

Sorta OT but your Cat friend keeps saying the Cubs are the front runners for Harper with the Sox and Dodgers.

50/3 for a little over $16 mil a year for Cutch.

What? I can't believe this would be true considering he has to be at the Meetings. But apparently this guy is a reporter? Merkin and Holmes follow him.
