I want the Sox not helping the Dodgers in anyway if it means helping them get Harper. Let the Dodgers figure out their mess on their own.

I wouldn't say that. Call has a shot to be a 4th OF'er. He's not a top prospect, but the exact type that usually get a cup of coffee at the MLB level (nothing to cry over either).

I doubt that was the main reason, but there was a story around SoxFest where someone asked him if he would recruit Machado.

With this move, I believe the 40-Man is now 100% full.

Same. It's gotta be the Yankees, Phillies, and Sox.

Reading that definitely makes me feel better. I hope it becomes reality...

This is really odd if you ask me. Sox now have Castillo and Alonso almost specifically just for recruiting Manny. If the Sox don't land one of Harper/Manny they are absolutely going to look foolish to the rest of MLB.

McCann wears #34...

They would. Plus they have Puig, Kemp, Bellinger, Verdugo, Pederson, Hernandez, and Toles in the OF. They need to make a few moves. Didn't they say no figures were exchanged between Boras and all the Harper suitors? Seems like an incredible turn of events to all of a sudden put together the biggest FA contract overnight after traveling back from Vegas the day before. Calling BS on this.

But he said something I want to believe.... hahahaha

Agreed. This move should be a non-issue.

For all we know, he could be off the team by June 1 if Zavala bounces back at Charlotte. Nothing to get upset over when it’ll probably be a short lived deal.

First mistake is going to ESPN for any type of analysis. Honestly, I’m surprised anyone would bother watching their crap for sports news.

But they went out and traded for Colome? I don’t know if I buy it. Although I really want Ottavino too, hahahaha

So that's two big media guys that each think the Sox end up with a either of the big two? I'll take it.

Hahahahaha, I would agree!

Just put on a Creed cd in the background while you read - should suffice.

It’s possible, but I think it’s far more likely that was a part of a video.

I don't think you put Sox jerseys on the Jordan statue and UC banner unless you are serious.

All it takes is for one reliever to set the market and they should start a chain reaction.

They're one of the 4 teams Manny is meeting with personally.

The longer this drags out, I start leaning to thinking the Sox are trying to get both of these guys.

Same here. I thought they were trying to build their own pen with some of the arms in the minors. Guess they might not be as high on Hamilton, Burdi, Burr, etc. as we thought?

All the relievers!
