Make the opt out after four years only if we haven’t made the playoffs at all in the first four years. Has anything like that been done before?
January 10, 20197 yr I was going to guess after three years. Hoping there isnt one but I doubt that's realistic
January 10, 20197 yr You'd have to imagine they would have to give one, just in case the rebuild falls flat he can eject and go elsewhere.
January 10, 20197 yr 3 minutes ago, joesaiditstrue said: I was going to guess after three years. Hoping there isnt one but I doubt that's realistic Yeah i would say probably after year 3 or 4. It would probably have to be at least a 10-year deal to not have one I would imagine. Edited January 10, 20197 yr by soxfan2014

I don’t want to get ahead of myself before we sign Manny but I think someone like Marwin makes sense. Keuchel at the right price (steal Territory) would make sense. Ottavino, to create a super bullpen would be my next move Edited January 10, 20197 yr by Orlando
January 10, 20197 yr Lots of smoke toward the end of the day yesterday. Who knows how much of it is true. The "Yankees are still in it" talk seems a little weak. I'm thinking they truly are out of it. Sox need to offer the most money, that's it. Get him signed and then make a couple more moves. Then this team is a lot better going into 2019.

WSD seems to know from his source that the Yanks are out. He Tweeted that he can confirm in response to that Gomez tweet.
January 10, 20197 yr 2B-Moncada CF-Jay RF-Harper 3B-Machado DH-Abreu LF-Jimenez 1B-Alonso C- Castillo SS-Anderson This lineup would be pretty sweet!! Edited January 10, 20197 yr by beckham15

I'm wondering if Machado's camp told the Yankees that if they can't offer X amount that they're out of the running or if the Yankees decided the cost was too high to pursue him? Either way, things are looking better today.
January 10, 20197 yr If we somehow landed Machado and Harper I would go: Moncada, 2B Machado, 3B Harper, RF Abreu, DH Jimenez, LF Alonso, 1B Anderson, SS Jay, CF Castillo, C
January 10, 20197 yr I'd go Harper 2-hole for sure with that OBP. Possibly swap Jay and Moncada depending on how Moncada is doing (and Jay for that matter).

(also soak in porcellos salary to get Jackie Bradley jr for 2 years by giving up like ... i haven’t thought about that yet then also the Red Sox stick chavis in the corner.) Lol oh wait that has Harper in it no salary acquisitions then

They believe Bradley really turned a corner offensively at the end of last year...and love pairing him with Betts defensively in CF and RF.
