We all started this offseason thinking Manny was going to get 10 years and at least 300+, then maybe we can get him for 7 in the 250 or so range, now Bob thinks we offered 200, by the time this thing is over we're signing Machado on a 1 year 10 million dollar deal.

More Pitch Perfect talk, less Chiefs talk!

Heads about to suspend you.

I know some things. Unfortunately none of them having anything to do with where Machado is going to sign.

I love Social Media. That is all.

This post does not suck.

No you're not.

Ya, I don't want to put words in Brian's mouth but I think he was literally just making a statement, not hinting at anything. Sometimes people look too far into his tweets just hoping for something that's not really there.

30 million and 2 friends? 30 million and 3 friends? 40 million and 2 friends?

He's been saying that for weeks now. I wouldn't consider that "smoke" necessarily. Obviously, I trust our guys here(rabbit, bucket, dave) as they've proven to be reliable before but it just seems like there's so much misinformation going around. I wouldn't be surprised if this thing drags into February and I wouldn't be surprised if he's signed before I finish typing this. And I wouldn't be surprised if he signs with us and I wouldn't be surprised if he signs with the Yankees or Phillies. Just a whole lot of who the hell knows(still) at this point.

Lol, I’m the one who has talked about Pitch Perfect and Professional Wrestling in these threads, I don’t care what you guys are talking about. Just made me laugh, that is all.

Are we going to have to change the thread title to “kids these days...” ?

LMAO! I love this.

Machado and Harper to the Cubs. Sorry guys.

Because they have been a bunch of sorry losers for a while now. They're trying to change that, signing Machado goes a long way in changing that perception of the team.

Sure hope we’re building a LeBron in Cleveland situation. That’d be neat.

We've been a sad organization for a while now. That's why signing either Manny or Bryce is such a big thing for this franchise. You get the on field benefits and it goes a long way in changing the perception of the team so maybe in the future we don't have to jump through all these hoops to get a premier fa to sign here.

Yes you can, you know what this board is.

Cause he’s good friends with Yonder and they want to sign him to an extension?

But then he won’t care when Manny cheats on his wife so we’re good here.

Oh absolutely. It’s just a hilarious strategy, doesn’t mean I don’t like it.

Lol too damn funny. I want The Sox to only have Machado family members and best friends at this point.

Honestly, I don't think that's their plan. We all agree they have a long way to go to get competitive this year but I legit think that's what they're trying to do. Everything they've done this offseason seems to indicate that. If their plan fails then they can fall back on the trade them for prospects idea but I legit don't think that's what they're trying to do right now.

There are some weird takes in this thread. Putting blame on Parkey is lazy? How? Having Mack signed to a long term contract is a bad thing? How?

I mean Heyman responded directly to Bruce and told him that’s not what he said. I can see the first tweet being a mis characterization but Bruce is just flat out lying at this point.
