This is extremely dangerous for baseball.

Each autograph comes with a free, uh, 'rosin' bag

It was a five year old looking kid

It's a fake account

I'll usually only hate dudes for who they were so, less their performance so... 1) Brett Myers 2) Adam LaRoche 3) Nick Swisher 4) Bartolo Colon 5) Magglio Ordonez* *Maggs was my favorite player growing up, but when he was a Tiger I once saw him fake throw a ball to a fan at a game I was at and it just about ruined him forever in my eyes.

Yes, AJ, he of the high character

Portillo's chocolate cake shake did it's job.

My unrealistic feeling is that if the Sox sign Machado, it increases odds of Harper

That would move serious contenders to Sox and Dodgers, with Dodgers needing to make moves.

Yonder the real MVP right now

Yes, but with climate change it's hit or miss. The MTA breaking down with bad weather now means traffic gets all the worse when it snows. It also gets super windy anywhere near the water.

For the sake of arguments, the Sox taking Alonso is less crucial because they cut all that other cash.

Updated thread title since this is now the default Machado thread

That's...awful logic.

One day hanging with Alonso.

Not with Ohtani's TJS

Adding to this: It's in ESPN's interest to drum up Cubs, Yankees, Dodgers because half the teams in MLB aren't as marketable for ESPN. Ex. They make the Sox stop existing to boost the Cubs.

Counter point: ESPN's baseball coverage is trash since they let so many go

Likewise, I think any of us that are happy about the deal will immediately sour if he doesn't decide to sign here.

See: Alonso, Yonder

Great stuff outside of the Sox not being a brand. Eazy-E guaranteed they would be.

Or trade with Cubs. Or sign Luis Robert.
