369, so about 70 pages still to go of this purgatory. 

At the very least.

I just imagine Machado sitting at home reading this forum.   

He's at Hahn's house, and they are both laughing their asses off at us.

"Dude, call Nightengale and tell him you only offered me 5 years."

Giggling like a schoolgirl, "That's awesome.  Give me the phone."

Imagine for a sec that we have the entire Machado situation ironed out and it's a reasonable offer...but also gives us enough flexibility for JR to call up Boras and say....Let's iron this out RIGHT now and put an aggressive offer on Harper. 

Dual announcements of signing both on the same day would go down as the biggest spectacle in Free Agency since Lebron took his talents to South Beach. 

I know it's a pipe dream...but man, JR and the Sox would be the talk of MLB for the next two seasons.

Are we really at 299 pages of idle unsubstantiated Machado stuff?

If you combine the 3 other main Machado threads that have been closed with this one, we're at about 11.5k right now.

The irony is, when we thought we had an in on Harper, the Machado thread couldn't get past page 5 for two weeks. 

Manny said he wanted 300, he meant 300 pages on Soxtalk.

If we got both I'd give them my entire wallet and banking info. I'd even fall for Nigerian scams.

That's what I assumed he meant.  10 post on 300 pages.....I don't get how anybody  thought anything different.

I am pretty sure over 95 percent of my history of posts are in this thread

Also after looking at the JR stuff, we shouldn't be shocked. It was stated early in the process JR was heavily involved and running negotiations. That's why I got concerned when he said he didn't think we'd win the bidding war. 

Posting to get us closer to 300!

Who's post will get us to 300?

Edit: damn, wanted this to be the one

Where were you when Manny's Panic Room hit 300 pages?

It'll actually be Manny joining the board and announcing his signing on Soxtalk.
