Predictions on when the opt out kicks in?  

Offer him enough where there isn't one or it's very late in the contract.

4 years. Gives him a chance to opt out and get a new contract and/or bail if our rebuild did not work while he is still 30.

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? 

I was going to guess after three years.  Hoping there isnt one but I doubt that's realistic

You'd have to imagine they would have to give one, just in case the rebuild falls flat he can eject and go elsewhere.

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.

Manny will just be the first big move... many more will take place for us afterward.

Get used to having no life for 8 more weeks.

Who else would they add?

Pollock, Keuchel, Kimbrel, Moustakas, Marwin Gonzalez?

Or Harper?

This is just the beginning, Harper is next ?

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

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.

When life resumes, we will know. First things first.

WSD seems to know from his source that the Yanks are out. He Tweeted that he can confirm in response to that Gomez tweet.

2B-Moncada

CF-Jay

RF-Harper

3B-Machado

DH-Abreu

LF-Jimenez

1B-Alonso

C- Castillo

SS-Anderson

This lineup would be pretty sweet!!

That's good to hear.  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.

If we somehow landed Machado and Harper I would go:

  1. Moncada, 2B
  2. Machado, 3B
  3. Harper, RF
  4. Abreu, DH
  5. Jimenez, LF
  6. Alonso, 1B
  7. Anderson, SS
  8. Jay, CF
  9. Castillo, C

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).

I may very well bat Anderson 9th.

(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

Red Sox won’t do that.  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.
