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.

About as many times as you bring it up to complain about.  Maybe a few less

I think Jay could be a good 4th OF. Adding Joc would make the lineup extremely deep.

Moncada

Machado

Harper

Jimenez

Abreu

Pederson

Castillo (to break up the lefties)

Alonso

Anderson

It's "over kill". They need pitching.

Maybe it's like Stockholm syndrome. After a while people think "he's not so bad"

I'm not paying attention to what JMR is saying.  Still waiting to see what else UnderTheHOODIE adds.

How many times do people have to have fun talking about him before you just laugh at their posts and not think, I should reply to them...

Followed by: The Chicago White Sox have filed for a name change, their official name from now on will be new World order.

But who's the third man?!?!

This isn't even a J. Michael Robertson tweet

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.

My sources have sent me exclusive footage from the moment an agreement was reached.

They've played together in amateur ball before.

I would think getting paid the most money is more important to both of them.

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. LOL

Well yeah, money is probably the deciding factor but I'm just wondering if they would be willing to share the spotlight if the Sox offered each of them the most.

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.

You can't structure contracts like that.

Manny and Keuchel are actually going to be announced together and then Bryce will be the 3rd man announced right before the season starts.

I also said they should trade an OF prospect (Basabe/Adolfo/Gonzalez since Harper would be taking their spots) for a SP

Is that too front loaded? What would be permitted?

Harper will sign with the Royals and switch sides in the middle of his first at bat.
