February 15, 20197 yr How many times does J. Michael Robertson have to be wrong before people just laugh at his posts and not think, hey it's possible ......
February 15, 20197 yr If this actually happened I'd rather see them hold on to the better prospects this year and see how they shake out. We have a lot of holes to say the least and a lot of uncertainty in some of the farm.

I don't think anyone actually believes that, it's just a fun idea of shocking the baseball world. Just like it's fun to dream about winning the lottery.

February 15, 20197 yr Is there any evidence that Harper and Machado are friends or even on speaking terms? I suppose there's a possiblility (however slim it might be) that they would want to team up together a la the 2010 Miami Heat.

I would think getting paid the most money is more important to both of them.
February 15, 20197 yr Why would it be so hard to give them both the $300 M? They just need to structure the deal so that at least one of them will likely opt out after year 4 or 5. Give them both the first 5 years at $35 M each and the last five at $25 M. per year. The Sox could manage the early years and then likely lose one, or both of them, when it's time to extend our kids, after we've won a couple of World Series.

I suppose there's a possiblility (however slim it might be) that they would want to team up together a la the 2010 Miami Heat. This is my thought process. Let’s say the Sox locked up machado already and appealed to Harper that they could be a dynasty for the next 10 years if he signs. Just like the heat.
