That 07 team was awful. Especially the bullpen.

Remember Jerry Owens? Lol.

Why are the Sox trying so hard to dispel the rumor that they are willing to go 8 years? What do they gain from that?

I really thought today would be the day. Sigh.

It's because we've been conditioned as Sox fans to expect the worst.

$1 million per page. We're at 270 right now. 30 more pages or so and we should be good to go.

The "heavily leaning" part is encouraging, but that tweet doesn't really say anything we didn't already know.

I'm sorry but I'd rather deal with longer lines and pay more for tickets if it meant that the team was actually good.

If they don't land him, good luck getting more than 10,000 people to show up per game next year. It would make the fans even more pissed off than they already are, and deservedly so. They can't fuck this up.

This is so mentally exhausting.

Thank god!

It's only 2:32 PM right now. Lots of time left for them to announce it today. #PositiveThoughts

I love the idea of adding performance based incentives like SonofaRoache said. It gives him a lot more motivation to not "mail it in" after securing a long term deal

Used? By who? Machado's camp to try to get more years/money out of the Sox?

This past weekend, he said "Monday is D-Day" or something along those lines.

That new member on this forum (forgot what his username is) whose info seems pretty legitimate said in so many words a couple days ago that this would conclude today. Hope he's right.

I won't take any of those Cubs rumors seriously until they unload Heyward's contract, which will never happen.

Jon Gray and Dylan Bundy could be interesting "buy low" candidates for the Sox. The Sox need to address the #5 starter's spot regardless if they get Machado. No way do I want them to start the season with Manny Banuelos in the rotation.

What SP's would you guys even target? Luis Castillo of the Reds possibly?

Lmao

I don't think it will happen right now either. A lot of people have already gone to sleep and I'm sure the Sox want as much attention on this as possible. Tomorrow night makes the most sense for an announcement.

I trust Passan over Boob anyday.

It would be even more heartbreaking than when the Sox blew that 7-1 lead in the 9th inning in Kansas City a few years back.

I AM SO EXCITED!!!
