They focused on Machado because the entire word from every report was that Machado would sign first. That's why it's played out this way. Remember boras and JR talked and mentioned they still have a decent relationship prior to what people think or say from the past. Great point. I will actually be very surprised if the Sox do not now aggressively pursue Harper.

Apparently the Sox aren't willing to go over 300 million or include opt-outs in their offers. If those things are true, they have no chance at Harper. But I'm hoping the backlash from missing on Machado will cause them to change their minds.

February 20, 20197 yr Not in the mood to read after today's events. Can anyone tell me if any reports have linked the Sox back to harper?

Why should we assume that the way they approached the Machado negotiations is exactly how they would negotiate for Harper?
February 20, 20197 yr If Rabbit is to be believed; they need to shift and just throw crazy money at Harper.

He said all along their offer was 8/250, and reports proved him right...where Hector thought he was going and where he eventually ended up differed, but the contract deets seemed spot on.
February 20, 20197 yr Come on front office! You have the chance to Fix this! Prove to us you can learn from mistakes and get Harper done the right way!

What is so crazy about having two different budgets/frameworks for two different players? And how is that crazier than signing Harper to a record-setting deal? Harper SHOULD get a record-setting deal and more than Machado as he will be a brand himself that will make whatever team he goes to a ton of money in ticket and merchandise sales and more. He will earn his contract wherever he goes, on and off the field. Edited February 20, 20197 yr by Machado2Sox

He’s not saying two different frameworks. He’s saying JR had a plan/budget in place for getting both guys to sign with us.

I think he’s saying it’s crazier to think of Jerry having a budget to fit both of them in under more than it is to think of the Sox backing up the trucks to pay Harper a ton of cash

Ah thanks, I missed the key word “both”. if this is truly the case, perhaps they have a shot at Harper. But if they failed at Machado’s eventual price when the Padres paid up, I don’t see things changing when the Phillies inevitably pay up for Harper and it’s a number that is out of the Sox comfort level, just like Machado’s Padres deal.
