Machado signs with Padres 10/300
Yonder, Yolmer, Yoan. Reading all of this I actually had to stop and think "Yonder...wait, who the...oh yeah." This year is going to be a ****ing headache.

2018 Travel Thread
I have been to Providence before and it was nice, but I guarantee you that Turks and Caicos will be even nicer. It's convenient now that Southwest flies into Providenciales. We will be there for 5 nights and 6 days. Every resort that's all inclusive or beach side was $600-$1,200/night, so we are staying a tad inland and just going to walk each day.

Heading to Providenciales in a few weeks. I posted it awhile ago but no one has ever seemed to have been there. It should be pretty awesome.

I saw The Mule yesterday. My god it was underwhelming.

A tweeter's recap of Passan on Waddle & Silvy: RT @kenkiebles13: @barstoolWSD @owemyself14 @MrDelicious13 @Soxsupporter1 @JeffPassan @soxmachine_josh @KenWo4LiFe He pretty much just said that arguing over 7/8 years is pointless right now because it is going to end up between 8 and 10 at a minimum of 30 AAV. All that matters right now is that the Sox definitely have a seat at the table and that can't be debated.

RT @BNightengale: The #Whitesox made their 7-year, $175 million offer about two weeks ago and haven’t felt the need to alter it, and bid against themselves . Just like Martinez last year with #Redsox as @Buster_ESPN points out, whose only other known offer was a one year proposal from #Dbacks Another asshole who can't make up his mind. Didn't he say $200M a week or two ago?

A month ago, he said the Sox have no chance. Two weeks ago, the offer was $200M. Today, it's dwindled to $175M. Yeah I don't think so

This was tweeted 5 hours ago but unless I missed it, no one posted it: RT @michaeljduarte: Source: Bryce Harper’s meeting with #Phillies Saturday went “very, very, very well,” I’m not sure if Philadelphia has pulled their offer to Machado, but they expect to make an offer to Harper.

I prefer an opt out after year 4 but if it's year 3, one of two things happens: 1) they aren't ready to win and it sucks so he leaves but at least it puts the Sox on the map as a viable FA landing spot for big names or 2) Machado can clearly see that Jimenez, Cease, Kopech, Robert and Moncada are the real deal and this is his best chance at a championship so he stays all 8 years or at least through his next opt out opportunity after year 5 or 6 (and it puts the Sox on the map as a viable FA landing spot for big names)

Do they need Bell? Mack seems to be a really good RB. I can see the Jets, Bucs, Raiders, Texans and Lions being fits for Bell, not so much the Colts.

My brother loves FT. He uses it to track professional sports teams' flights. It's pretty neat

How long exactly is "a while?"
-
Machado signs with Padres 10/300
Getting both would have been a miracle so to expect that would have been senseless. Regardless Machado is the better player so I'd rather have him

What guy? He admitted to not having sources and even said it's just his feeling.

RT @ToddZolecki: The meeting between the #Phillies and Bryce Harper yesterday in Las Vegas went so well and they came away so impressed with Harper and his wife that they might be shifting their focus from Manny Machado to him. https://t.co/zy0ChusHcc

He said the $200M thing again today

Is it just the Corbin thing or is it really a lot of others errors aka "etc etc?"

Soxtalk: someone give optimism! Nightengale: looks like Machado will be playing for the White Sox Soxtalk: he says dumb shit like that all the time, who cares what he thinks

"No one knows the outcome for sure, but unless there’s a dramatic twist in these negotiations, their ultimate destinations are becoming clearer. Harper will be in Philadelphia and Machado will be playing for the White Sox."

RT @BNightengale: Philadelphia #Phillies emerge as clear-cut favorite to land Bryce Harper after 5-hour meeting. Optimism is high. https://t.co/0j5B5Pu2Gg

He probably took that photo with him one of these past seasons on one of Baltimore's many trips to the Bronx, not yesterday or anything.
-
Machado signs with Padres 10/300
He's probably congratulating him on a soon to be contract and wishing him luck. Why is this news?

Bosh/James/Wade were never going to come to Chicago and Rose ended up having shit for knees & we're now seeing that Butler is nutcase. I wouldn't put Quintana and Abreu in the same category as the other guys. Quintana is no better than a #3 and Abreu is a good, not great, player. I think GarPax is significantly worse than RickW.
