They need to resolve the pay issues in the minors before I ever care about millionaires and even the lower rung in the MLB getting more. If you don't have a signing bonus you would need to work at McDonald's to get a raise. That's a real cause to champion.

If it's leaked by Lozano then that's the value of the Sox offer. No one who has an offer of more than this would leak a lower value out to get teams interested. That's absurd. I want 300 million dollars and I have an offer of 8/250. Let's leak out 175 million and see if we get any biters for 300.

You are going with the opinion that the sox will have a right to match. If this is the offer someone can come in an get a deal done quickly. That's the risk with this. You might not get a chance to match and its over.

If thats the Sox offer then the Phillies have a great shot at getting both Harper and Machado. Soxfest should be fun.

I think the eyes are good. I just think he needs to figure out what a strike is. Continuously getting wrung up on a pitch a hair outside the zone is okup until it keeps happening. The Big Hurt had a great eye but you bet your ass if he was getting wrung up left and right just off the plate he would of adjusted. He just kept with the idea that it isn't a strike and the umpires were going to adjust to him.

I would rather watch the video of him working with Omar Vizquel on catching baseballs and footwork.

Then you will get 9 tweets after that. 1 stating the terms of the proposal, leaked by the agent. The next will be Bruce Levine posting that the sox are not going over 3 years and 10 per year. the next tweet will be from a foreign source repeating the terms of the team. Then a mystery team will be in offering 10 years + and a higher AAV. As long as they come out with one of the two superstars, thats all that matters.

The Saints defense is definitely not the Bears defense. Foles and the offense are going off.

Dont give me this. You didnt need to be a fortune teller to see that a guy who keeps doinking the upper left crossbar over and over was going to do this in the playoffs.

However El Rockin would be thrilled with that move.

Why?

The irony here is the front office could have negated this by being quiet. Fake Reporter "I hear you are looking at Harper or Manny. " Fake Hahn or Kenny "We are committed to the process here. We are excited about the next wave of our young players that are coming up and look for that to provide star power. Its an exciting time for our organization." Then you go and bid for both. If nothing happens with it, no one is the wiser. Talking about things in the open press is stupid.

They need to hit on either one of Harper or Machado. Missing out on both, and having one go to the Cubs is a formula for disaster.

This should do wonders for the Sox franchise in Chicago.

If they dealt Heyward why would they need to have Harper in CF.

If we lose out to the Yankees hopefully it's in regards to the Sox having the highest offer and it was just Manny wanting to be a Yankee.. The worst case scenario would be that we, in fact, didn't have the highest offer.

Levine works through the old ways.

With what magical money. No one is taking Heyward.

The Reds are providing eyewash to their fanbase while being a mule for the Dodgers to finish off their roster.

This also changes the upcoming draft. If we get Machado that draft pick would probably become a top pitcher who should be a quick riser. If we miss that probably changes our drafting strategy..

Goodbye sweet world.

They are not telling office people to take pay cuts to pay the way for acquisitions.

Next year we need a new kicker. This might be the worst kicker I can remember being on the bears.

Rust was my biggest worry. He had a few games off and this is a tough defense as his first game back.

Mitch needs to get this under control.
