They'd want to dominate the news and take full advantage of this. Obviously the primary concern is signing him, but once/if they know that they him, they are going to make sure the media is empowered and enabled to tell the world it is putting the Sox back on the map. Absolutely. That's the smartest way to go about something of this magnitude too

What my source said last Sunday was that this last week was the week they were very hopeful for. So that didn't happen. I can understand the frustration. The FO thought they were going to be signed by Christmas originally.

I’m sure the other teams involved are also frustrated and exhausted. Thanks for the input.

Regardless of what he said, someone posting on the board for the very first time and the whole board collectively freaks out? Past that, 2 things on it: I’ll apologize on behalf of the collective for believing someone other than the almighty raBBit. We all await your scripture.

January 12, 20197 yr To me, it seems as if neither agent wants their guy to sign first, as both want their player to get the biggest contract ever. But someone will have to budge eventually.

Yeah that's not what I said. If someone joins the board and quickly starts having sources, that should raise eye brows. If someone that has been here for a while says something, it's a different story.

I would think Tuesday/Wednesday would be optimal considering the attention the NFL Playoffs get.

In my opinion you stay in it as long as possible and throw the highest offer to both of them. Unfortunately I feel we may have to over pay. Not my $$ though.

I get frustration but you’ve gone to the obvious and acquired his brother in law and work out partner to entice him to sign, you don’t get up from the table on a franchise changing player like this.
January 12, 20197 yr 27 minutes ago, Blackout Friday said: I’m in no way an insider or source, nor will I pretend to be. But I worked with a current GM (unrelated to any Sox stuff or relevant negotiations) that wheeled a mega trade minutes before walking down the aisle to get married. I don’t think the higher ups really take time off. Yup, $250M+ transactions don’t take weekends off if there is momentum.

If someone that has been here for a while says something, it's a different story. Does it matter that I have been looking at soxtalk fourms for 3 or 4 years and didn't say anything until recently? Like I said before PM if you want to know more info on my source. Already responded to 6 or 7 of you.

January 12, 20197 yr IF the Sox sign one of Machado/Harper, I hope they make the press conference open to the fans. It would be a landmark moment for the franchise, the fans should be there to usher it in.
