They have to announce them WWE style though. "That is Bryce Harper's music!"

That's some juicy stuff.

yeah the only thing missing is something like: Other teams are still monitoring the stituation.

Plot twist: All that money came from a Mr. Onazol.

It's also a good way to ensure that he is never going to sign an extension.

How do you think the Machado sweepstakes will end? Will there be a ton of smoke or will a signing just happpen out of the blue?

Gotta admit, even though this episode of the Manny telenovela was pretty short, it ranks up there with my favorites. We had some baby shoes and his estranged cousin.

In these trying times only thing keeping us sane thread title changes

Instagram fooled us Social media confuses me what does this post mean?

Bad news from twitter Don't know who to trust anymore What takes him so long

We are all concerned the Yankees again a threat we been there before

I'm guessing Phillies, Padres, Giants, Nats. I don't think the Sox were ever that serious about signing Harper.

If that is the case They should contract twenty teams They do not matter

Waiting is the worst I don't get work done at all just sign already

While the Sox could certainly afford both for the next 3-4 years, players become more expensive through arb or even become free agents, which means that signing Harper would prevent the Sox from filling holes in the lineup or pitching staff. Pretty much the position the Cubs are in now.

The worst part about this whole ordeal is that the news of Machado signing or being close to signing could break any minute now or we could be waiting another month.

Time is a flat circle.

I am glad that we're not the only fanbase that falls for "this huge FA signing is totally going to be announced at our fan fest".

Striking out on Cespedes and Gordon certainly was a blessing in disguise. Didn't it turn out that the Sox weren't seriously trying to sign Cespedes but went after Gordon instead?

Guys, guys! Manny spoke to me in my dreams. He is going to sign with the Sox and he will become my best friend. Disclaimer: I downed an entire bottle of NyQuil, so take that with a grain of salt.

I think Jim Duquette's credibility is somewhere between Charles the Cat and Paul the Panda. Edit: But thanks for sharing!

$300 million is chump change for an insurance company. The likelyhood for an insurance policy to cover 100 percent of the contract and for them to pay out that money themselves as a lump sum is practically zero.

The Marlins are going to be pretty surprised when they see him throw left-handed. ?

Since nothing has happened for months, I had more than enough time to carefully select an appropriate reaction gif in the event of him signing with the Sox or elsewhere.

I had trouble loading the site the last couple of minutes. I thought something happened and immediately checked twitter and mlbtr. I need help.
