Who would you have signed?

For the billionth time: who?

Minimum salary.

Well they have to go with their plan as if Manny isn't going to be here since he isn't yet. And it seems like that may be Yoan at 3.

I think he's taking them at 2nd and 3rd.

I would think getting paid the most money is more important to both of them.

I tend to agree with this thought.

All of us if true:

$13 million would be a pricey misdirection. Especially no one really wants either Jay nor Alonso with Machado.

10/$300 mill. Get this over with. Lower AAV then the rumored 8/250,260 deals.

No one can say the Sox don't operate like a big market team if they're consistently top 5 in payroll (when they're actually good and willing to spend a bit).

I was going to say, April is bad, night games in May are still rough, along with September. June, July and August are great though. Playing on the road in the rest of the midwest or out East is similar.

Just take everything (posivite or negative) with a huge grain of salt.

Going to be nice taking a break from this while being in Nashville the next 3 days.

Harper and that .388 career OBP in the 2-hole 100%.

Not if the Padres offer closer to what he wants.

Lol her response was to him asking about the Rawlings mits.

So my friend's cousin who works for the Sox as a buyer (she's in charge of buying merchandise for the shops so obviously, she would know if something was about to happen) texted him: "Get ready for an announcement on Friday" only to be told just kidding 5 minutes later. That killed me lol no one with that much power should ever abuse it like that.

That Polanco one is really cheap.

I'm almost certain the Phils would prefer Machado over Harper. If they did beat the Sox offer and got him, then oh well. Sucks for Bryce then. Phillies would be getting the better player.

So they would stop negotiating with Machado because they don't want to out-spend the Sox offer, but they're going to negotiate and try to get Bryce Harper for likely more? Don't buy it.

Right...why would they stop negotiating with him?

Nice thread name...this thread is giving me a VD.

Random Tweet.

This guy again....ugh.
