Am I being too cynical in thinking this could be the Phillies trying to misdirect the Sox?  Leak to the media that the Phillies are focusing now on those other players to make the Sox think that their offer to Machado is good, when the Phillies have actually just made a larger offer to Machado?

With as much work as Sox have done with Lozano...he is coming back and saying give us last offer since Phillies went higher. So, unless it's stupid money...shouldn't matter.

To me that is a better move than Harper and Machado.

I really think this could happen either later tonight or tomorrow. It seems like we're finally getting to the finish line.

-SoxTalk shouts into the void once again, foolishly certain we will see it before the heat death of the universe

So after 300+ pages, I am feeling like I’m a tweet away from either MM being my favorite player, or my most hated player in mlb.

But it seems like there's only one team left

I'd say there's somewhere between 1 and 29 teams left in this thing.  I'm pretty confident The Orioles are out.

I don't think it would be toward sox, I think it would be toward manny, trying to show they aren't gonna just wait for him.

That said, I don't see any clear winners here. I think people in philly may have convinced the owner whose available, the plan, and now people are excited and just blabbing.

Posting links to their site is promoting their brand of bullshit. Don't pay any attention to them.

Totally agree!

I really don't understand how this dogshit publication survived the financial obliteration of its parent company. It makes me sad, though.

You realize when they are counting hits, there is no difference between an anger hit or a happy to read you hit?  People retweeting and posting that stuff is why it continues to survive.  If you don't like, don't give it public play.

Do that and try to grab Moose on a cheap deal and boom. Great off-season.

We've (myself included) have been saying this for the last month. 

I think the most common post in this thread has been "I think this is close" followed by "Why does Bruce Levine still have a job?"

Did we tell you the part where screen names can't be changed anymore without a bribe of an admin?

Anyone can have "visions" of what they want. I want to be a billionaire and have a supermodel girlfriend. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

No one else is really a threat to sign any of those players. If they want to pay them what they want, they can. Back to the stupid money comment.

I dont think rabbits tweet about Kenny liking Wednesday last week, his tweet today about this saga nearing an end, and now these tweets are a coincidence. But then again I've been wrong about this too many times to count

Don't forget they also added Segura, McCutchen, Robertson too.

Sorry man, that doesn't make sense. The Sox aren't going to base their actions on tweets. If the Phillies beat us with an offer, Lozano is going to point that out to the Sox to elicit a bigger offer. This will go back and forth until one side quits.

Signing Keuchel to a long term deal would scare me, I see the comparisons to Buehrle, but Mark was a generational talent to be this effective with his stuff.

Simple psychology. Dis a fan base to make them come running to the site to defend their team. A piece of shit site like that needs all the hits they can get, lol.

Given the FA market right now and Keuchel still being out there, I don't know how long you would have to go with Keuchel...

I'd be shocked if he doesn't get a 4yr deal.

prepare to be shocked. He may go back to astros for 1 year for all we know, stay with what's working.

Ok, ok, I get it. Sharing Deadspin was the worst thing I've done since I pushed a kid into a used urinal on a field trip to the Field Museum in the third grade. Yeesh!

Vibe I'm getting from that AG Sports Network account is that he thinks the Sox get Machado.
