Does the page count final total increase more if we sign him or don't sign him?...

slow day. This is dragging until February unfortunately.

Machadochitas - Premiering on Telemundo February 15th

Guys it's obvious. It's a sox hat that Manny is borrowing because he is sitting out the season for a better contract and needs every hand me down he can get.

Agreed, but that was generated by the media and talking heads...this market is different and after JD Martinez should have been more obvious

I asked my wife if she wanted a swellopt last night and she opted out.

Agreed. Relievers on longer 3/4 year deals have shown that at least 1 year is generally a dud or an unlucky one, so basically paying an additional 9mil season hoping that 2/3 are good isn't best use of funds. Also, we have some good talent in minors ready within that time frame

They would pick Manny over Bryant...Damn.

Can you imagine if 175 gets it done though? (I know it wont) . The rebuild could literally be completed by next season with all the extra cash the team would have. Bonkers.

I thought 8/280 originally but unbelievable lack of suitors made me adjust down a bit.

8/260 Machado 10/326 Harper We get Machado...fall just short of Harper who goes to Phillies.

Rosenthal will have the scoop. Almost always does.

Same. Live in Atlanta now.

Crazy thought...someone Lozano uses leaked the 7/175 to create "outrage" so Lozano can craft this response and look like he is the hero to Machado by being the tough guy Agent and getting him much more money even though it won't approach the 300-350 mark. This is Inception level manipulation. Damn.

Agreed. Olney laughed at the Sox earlier this offseason. This is more of a big F you to the media needing to fill their 24 hour news cycle with anything. It is absurd what Twitter has become this offseason.

can't wait for the 30 for 30 on this in five years after Manny is World Series MVP for us. This back and forth is absolutely riveting.

At least one thing is true currently...Boras and Lozano are shitting bricks right now.

yannie or whatever her name is would Rather have Manny in Chicago and around his Brother in law....SD girls are FIRE!

It is also stupid to assume that Harper would get 125 million more total contract. Lozano would be the laughing stock of agents.

That's because he accurately offended all of us with his truth.

With as much work as Sox have done with Lozano...he is coming back and saying give us last offer since Phillies went higher. So, unless it's stupid money...shouldn't matter.

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.

this guy wins twitter today. hot damn.

I love BTTF to death...but have always been bothered that 50 years of sports statistics can be found in such a thin and tiny book. Complete my ass...
