Why would he be on a plane with the common folk, especially right now? Don't buy it.

They are small, but it's higher than 1%. There just aren't that many suitors for either of these guys which works to the Sox advantage. That being said, I'd be more than happy if they just got one of them and I hope they try to grab Machado first because his market seems to be moving more quickly right now.

This isn't true. At all.

It's not hard to envision a scenario in which the Sox get both Harper and Machado. This is so exciting.

"Could have"? I thought it was a done deal. This guy is such a fraud.

I 100% HATE DAN CLARK

I can't handle all these twists and turns!

He's seeking attention as always.

Could this happen tonight?

There might be "mystery teams" though.

Getting both Harper and Machado is obviously the dream scenario, but there's probably like a 1% chance of that happening. Give me one and I'll be absolutely ecstatic.

Jesus Christ. This is beautiful.

Man...I just hope we aren't all left massively disappointed.

I'm really starting to think the Sox will get one of them.

Imagine how insane this forum would be if they somehow got both...

GET IT DONE RICK!

Not going to get my hopes up, but man, that would be amazing if he was right.

I personally don't believe a word that comes out of Bruce Levine's mouth.

At this point, I think Harper's best option is to sign a front loaded deal with the Sox and then opt out and sign elsewhere in 4-5 years. This way, he would have one of the highest AAV's during his "prime years" and still be able to cash in on the free agent market again at age 30 or 31.

Lol how could one guy possibly be so obnoxious?

I'm slightly more optimistic than I was earlier today. The odds are still stacked against us in all likelihood but you never know.

It's not like the Sox will compete next season anyway if they were to acquire Andujar, what's the harm in giving him more time to learn the intricacies of playing 3B defensively. Moncada wasn't all that good at 2B in 2017 and the beginning of last year and he improved significantly with the glove, no reason why Andujar couldn't do the same.

How is he not a fit? He'd easily be the best 3rd baseman the Sox have had from an offensive standpoint since Joe Crede, and his defense can improve with time. It would also keep Moncada at 2B which is ideal.

Where does Harper fit on that team? 1B? Not sure he wants to play there.

3B. He's rough defensively at that spot right now but there's no reason why he couldn't improve. I wonder if Rodon + Alonso + one or two other pieces would get it done.
