I'm 99.9% sure the Cubs aren't getting either of them, which is fantastic.

  • Because I personally don't believe either Harper or Machado has even the slightest interest in the White Sox unless...unless the Sox offer is significantly and highly over the top compared to other cl

    It would allow the player to maximize the most of their peak years from a financial standpoint and allows them to cash in on a new contract around the age of 30 in Machado's case when he should still

  • Harper is likely signing with the Nationals/Phillies/Yankees/Cubs, but I soooooo badly want him on the White Sox.   Machado we might have more of a chance at, but I sooooo badly do NOT want

Get back to me if we draft Adley and not the next Darwin Barney :)

I don’t buy it at all

Why is that?

The biggest clue of all IMO is the picture of Harper wearing the Bulls hat he posted the other day. I do not think that was coincidental at all.

Well, it depends on which team. I don't know if there is any truth to the Cubs being strapped for cash, and if I'm another team I don't help them get Harper at all. Make them suffer for their bad contracts.

That would make more sense if the Cubz colors were black and white.

Word is the Giants have been long-focussed on Harper and will be serious bidders. I expect the Sox will put out a modest initial bid at maybe 5 x 30 before things get real.

Ha. Thanks for the Kapman link. A few minutes over there made my day. They’re still talking about Heyward’s World Series speech. That’s the biggest yarn ever perpetrated on the baseball public. Why didn’t he pull that speech out for game 163?

Everybody wears damn Bulls hats.  I live in Texas and Bulls hats and Sox hats are everywhere

Harper and Bryant have the same agent, Boras. Bryant will be a free agent in 3 years, so the Cubs would have to give Harper a 3 year opt out so that he can follow his buddy somewhere. 

That 3 year opt out would make a ton of sense for the Cubs, actually.

They're going to have to do a complete rebuild/tear-down at exactly that point.

Maybe?  I mean, it depends who they are willing to pay.  It's definitely going to get serious consideration and is clearly expected by Theo and company as their moves have depleted their farm system for the here and now.

Interested to see if they wind up surviving the lack of pitching development.
