Dam8610 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 4 minutes ago, fathom said: You're right, Manny or Harper would surely want to sign with the WSox over the Cubs if price is equal. Hell, people on here talked about Castillo being enough to get Manny to want to sign here when both Manny and Bryce literally have their childhood close friend on the Cubs. Who cares? Machado and Harper are both going to sign the biggest money deal they can, and I doubt they care who they play for because they likely believe in their abilities enough to know that any team that gets them will dramatically improve by that alone. They'll go to the highest bidder, so the Sox have to be the highest bidder for Machado if they want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 And, of course, Jose Rondon is the the only option to PH for Engel...making tonight's bench the new benchmark for weakest in modern-day MLB history... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Can we just get one of Timmy/Engel on base? Asking too much, isn't it?  Soria looked good, BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're franchise changers. Harper and Machado both know this, so they're likely to both go where the most money is, period.

fathom Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Anderson just awful at the plate. Has no bat speed currently. Walks are great and all, but he seems so passive in his swing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said don't let Kopech see that, and I missed the rest but believe he was saying Kopech would try to top that Kopech was quoted in the off season that he wanted that record. It was during one of those videos showing his workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think running the ball out is stupid. And I think a few things if you can't run to first without getting injured. - You were probably about to get hurt anyway - You shouldn't be in baseball, unless you're a DH in his late 30's and a borderline future HOF'er (AKA Ortiz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
