As long as they are willing to spend the most, we have a shot. If they have a number in mind they won't go past but the Phillies or Yankees offer more than that, there is no shot.

Caulfield, when did you become so doom and gloom? Did this deal really push you over the ledge?

"Hustle to the car, Manny!"

You forgot Drake LaRoche.

I'm going to predict Harper by Christmas (so by the end of this weekend) and Machado by New Year's Eve.

I was born in 1991 so this is very similar to mine. 1. Paul Konerko 2. Mark Buehrle 3. Frank Thomas (though, I didn't get to see much of him in his prime) 4. AJ Pierzynski 5. Jim Thome Honorable Mentions: Jose Abreu, Scott Podsednik, Jermaine Dye, Joe Crede, and Magglio Ordonez.

He has literally now said not to believe the idiot who says a deal with Dodgers is close and to not believe the idiot who says a deal with the Dodgers isn't close lol

What if he ends up signing for as little as Maeda did? I would definitely have interest for sure.

Could always wait and trade him mid-season.

You're forgetting Eloy.

100% agreed.

Yeah which is it? I've seen comments saying both good and bad over last day.

Most of us are only going to like it if it leads to us landing Machado. If he signs somewhere else, I wouldn't be shocked to see him moved again.

If it's true and they sign somewhere else, I'm not giving them any sort of credit for their efforts. Sorry. All this other feel good shit like trading for his brother in law only matters if you're still offering the most. You can't really blame the front office for offering the highest contract only for him to sign somewhere else. Nothing you can do about that.

Mark my words, if we land both (hell even just one) I will buy each of their jerseys.

I bet they bring in a right-handed bat to platoon with him (Davidson back cheaper?) and he doesn't reach it.

Really don't think it happens but cool that they're trying. I'll gladly take one.

Gives us a better option at 1B if we keep Abreu if he is better defensively.

(Its not letting me post the gif)

They must not think they have a great chance. As I've said multiple times in this thread, this move doesn't move the needle that much.

Lol what? Not once in that sentence did he say DH. For the love of God, take a break from soxtalk for a few hours. Now you're the one giving us all brain aneurysms.

The Indians are desperate to shed payroll.

Hard to say as of now.

He's a free agent. No trade.

Eh. Didn't cost anything. Can always trade him somewhere else too.
