I know 3 days seems like forever in the social media give me tweets now age (I joined twitter just for Machado/Harper news).
January 10, 20197 yr Machado's final offer from the Sox will be whatever this thread's final page count is x2.5 Right now, he stands to make $292.5M
January 10, 20197 yr Who's going to be the first one to deluge Roeper's social media account or try to set up an interview with him to "clarify" his leak about Sox Fest being off the chain and breaking the internet (no clapping back, though)?
January 10, 20197 yr Mods, you know those “guess the pieces of candy in the jar and win the jar” games? Can we do a “Guess the total Harpchado posts since the offseason started” thread when this is all done? Winner gets 3 hours as #1 Mod with full ban & banner controls.
January 10, 20197 yr I just don't see Philadelphia making sense if Harper's likely (or possibly, who knows) going back to Washington (and maybe keeping Rendon in that case as well)...and Atlanta being on the cusp of having a mini-dynasty in terms of their talent level coming up, especially on the pitching side. Philadelphia just doesn't have enough pieces in place offensively to be the type of team that's set up to dominate for 3-4 years, and Arrieta's getting long in the tooth as well. Sure, they have Nola, but how much better can he realistically be than over the last couple of seasons? Other than stupid money, what's the argument for Philly? Plus, he's already comfortable in the AL and familiar with all the pitchers. Simply the fact that they were in first place or hovering near the top of the division for most of 2018? His desire to pass Donovan McNabb, Joel Embiid, Rocky or Dr. J in Philly Lore? Edited January 10, 20197 yr by caulfield12

January 10, 20197 yr Coincidence that Machado is going to the White Sox the same weekend the Kansas City Chiefs win their first playoff game at home since 1993? I think not! ?
January 10, 20197 yr 4 minutes ago, Buehrle>Wood said: 5th longest thread in board history. Only halfway to Cespedes-mania. Thank god we didn't end up with Cespedes or Gordon. That's the scary part with these big contracts, and those were not even close to the financial commitment this one's going to end up as. At a certain point, you just have to take a leap of faith and "go for it!" on a player at that age and talent level, whether it's Harper or Machado, that's a decision that most GM's would make 98 times out of 100 if it made so much sense to the franchise from a financial and marketing perspective. Philly and Chicago are the two teams that failing to strike with either player will be incredibly demoralizing...especially Philly, because they're even closer to contention but they've also got a number of teams blocking their future path.

They're getting to be like the Atlanta Braves or Browns/Bills when it comes to the post-season.
