The "heavily leaning" part is encouraging, but that tweet doesn't really say anything we didn't already know.

I'm sorry but I'd rather deal with longer lines and pay more for tickets if it meant that the team was actually good.

If they don't land him, good luck getting more than 10,000 people to show up per game next year. It would make the fans even more pissed off than they already are, and deservedly so. They can't fuck this up.

This is so mentally exhausting.

Thank god!

It's only 2:32 PM right now. Lots of time left for them to announce it today. #PositiveThoughts

I love the idea of adding performance based incentives like SonofaRoache said. It gives him a lot more motivation to not "mail it in" after securing a long term deal

Used? By who? Machado's camp to try to get more years/money out of the Sox?

This past weekend, he said "Monday is D-Day" or something along those lines.

That new member on this forum (forgot what his username is) whose info seems pretty legitimate said in so many words a couple days ago that this would conclude today. Hope he's right.

I won't take any of those Cubs rumors seriously until they unload Heyward's contract, which will never happen.

Jon Gray and Dylan Bundy could be interesting "buy low" candidates for the Sox. The Sox need to address the #5 starter's spot regardless if they get Machado. No way do I want them to start the season with Manny Banuelos in the rotation.

What SP's would you guys even target? Luis Castillo of the Reds possibly?

Lmao

I don't think it will happen right now either. A lot of people have already gone to sleep and I'm sure the Sox want as much attention on this as possible. Tomorrow night makes the most sense for an announcement.

I trust Passan over Boob anyday.

It would be even more heartbreaking than when the Sox blew that 7-1 lead in the 9th inning in Kansas City a few years back.

I AM SO EXCITED!!!

Eh...I don't know about that. If Pollock stays healthy, Eloy is as good as advertised, and Yoan/TA7 take steps forward, that is easily the best lineup in the Central and probably one of the better lineups in the AL.

If the Gio Gonzalez rumor is true, here is what we're looking at: Rodon/Lopez/Gonzalez/Nova/Giolito Not great but not terrible either. It will look a lot better in 2020 with Kopech and Cease.

This lineup is insanely good. Wow.

Would Pollock play CF or RF?

So...when do you guys think this will finally happen?
