I would tend to agree but his implication, both in the article itself and in his accompanying tweet, that we would go more than 8 years also tells me that there still may be a decent amount of work left to do.

January 14, 20197 yr Just now, Chicago White Sox said: Harper, Keuchel, Ottavino. Thinking big! I think Keuchel is right out at this point, and it's very unlikely they sign Harper if they sign Machado, but Ottavino would be a good target. After that, I dunno, Gio on a 1-year deal? They need SP really bad.
January 14, 20197 yr 3 minutes ago, Tony said: That’s a fair point. Because obviously they are still at an impass somewhere. It just seems like it’s getting real close, something has to break here. I’m wondering if this is a “don’t even think about it Yankees we will still outbid you” move.

January 14, 20197 yr 3 minutes ago, DaGame2584 said: If or when this FINALLY happens, what moves do the Sox make from here? Depends on how close it is to a $300 million commitment. If it's closer to $250 (unlikely), they could think about adding another player like Pollock, Marwin Gonzalez, etc. Keuchel's going to be too expensive, unless his market shrinks, which is highly improbable after the big dominoes start to fall. Of course, there's the possibility they go after Harper as well, but the Phillies are certainly going to throw at least $350 million at him, and we already have almost a full team of outfield prospects in the minors.

I just really like what I saw from him last year and I think he would be relatively cheap. His home run rate was microscopic. I much prefer him to Gio Gonzalez and that nasty walk rate. Pomeranz, I'm not as sure about since last season was so strange/bad, but I'd prefer him to Gonzalez for sure.

They need SP really bad. I’m hoping they still go for Harper, but was mostly kidding about the other two. But if they want to compete next year and are willing to spend $180M that’s probably what it’s going to take.
