Wow. Not really what you want to hear after thinking the stars are aligning for this. Seriously, if they're not willing to spend the money it would take, when will they ever? Sell the team, Jerry.

Sounds like it's his way of saying it a fake team, correct? Haha

And only one of those guys (Hader) is great.

At a certain point, you just stop giving guys chances due to having other talent coming up. Hes a late bloomer for sure.

Keuchel was such a disappointing fantasy keeper last year. Don't think I'm keeping him this year.

Yeah a 12 year deal for either of these players just doesn't seem so crazy to me. They would be done at the age of 38. Guys like Pujols, Cano, and Miggy are getting paid until they're what, 40, 41? It does seem like a long time to be paying someone, but compared to those 10 years deals at 30/31, it doesn't seem as bad.

Yep.

Yeah not signing Aiken actually worked out for the Astros.

Lmao we just need a little taste.

Hopefully Chili meets tomorrow afternoon just to kind of space it out a bit.

Yeah. And with the Phillies expected to be good, trading for one year of him makes more sense than when the Sox had interest in trading for Machado.

I'm just surprised there wasn't about 4 more names in his comment.

Thanks for clarifying that non-yes/no question lol

You make more money in football sooner. If he sticks with baseball, you're talking minor league salary for a couple years, 3-4 years of near MLB minimum salary, and then arbitration. And that's only if everything works out for him.

Martin deal was 5 years, $82m.

I feel like if you are a star player's preferred destination, you at least have to talk to the guy.

Ha, I do know someone who works there as a buyer of merchandise for the shops but she works for another company technically so she can't get me a job with the team. I try to get her to give me a scoop but she doesn't really know that stuff unless it's very close.

No problem. I wouldn't really expect you to. Hopefully you can give us a juicy rumor.

I feel its impossible unless you know someone who somehow already works there. I just want like a financial analyst job lol it can be entry level, I'll take a pay cut lol

Since you told us to provide a list of questions for him, this is totally going to be non-Manny Machado related question, but how does one get a job with the Sox? I have background in finance and accounting and never see job postings on any site in the 3-4 years I've looked (I'm 27). This is assuming he works for the Sox in some role. I feel like you need to know Jerry personally to get a job with the team (which the way the team has been, not totally far-fetched of a thought lol). Edit: I should have just dm'd you this one lol

Now I'm not sure. Someone clarify haha

Hes seeing the source tomorrow.

Yeah San Diego, to Oakland, to Seattle (very brief). Not good at all.

That's true. I think they'll extend Goldy.

Yep. Plus, Nova is at what, $8-9m? And then Welington at $5.5?
