Same. I'm nervous now.

So...what's the consensus as of now? Where do you guys think Machado ends up and when will he sign?

So you're saying you're not a fan of 6ix9ine or Lil Pump?

Why aren't the Yankees mentioned in that tweet?

I've done what I can to help with the recruiting efforts.

Dan Clark's Twitter mentions aren't going to be pretty if Machado signs with the Sox. ?

I have a feeling the Sox will sign him tomorrow.

Probably wishful thinking, but Machado this offseason and one of Sale/Bumgarner/Cole next offseason would be amazing. They could even package some of their prospects for a young pitcher in a trade at some point. Lots of possibilities.

Thanks raBBit. Seems like you get good info so I'm praying you're right!

I'm trying soooooooooooo hard to not get my hopes up.

7 years x 35 million a year = 245 million. That seems like a fantastic deal for a player of Machado's caliber.

Yep, hoping I can get a pic with him at a game next year. Seems like a really good guy. Just hope he can stay healthy.

I trolled him on Twitter a couple years ago when he was on the Royals. He responded and then we've tweeted each other a couple times back and forth since then. It's pretty cool when players interact with fans.

lol I love this guy

These MLB Network guys are trashing the Sox left and right. I hope Hahn proves all these guys wrong.

8/280 for Machado actually seems like a solid deal for the Sox. That's only 35 million a year and the Sox could probably frontload it a bit.

Chris Russo and the guy he's interviewing completely shitted on the Sox and said they won't get Harper or Machado.

But would they give him his own area in the clubhouse where he could cheat on his wife?

This thread is absolute insanity.

If we're going all-in on the friends and family route to recruit Machado, Yasmani Grandal and Adam Jones make sense to varying degrees but it seems unlikely that the Sox will pursue either of them.

Yeah, I'm thinking it'll be Yolmer, Engel, and McCann although I'd actually prefer if it were Rondon, Leury, and McCann instead. Thanks.

Couple questions for you guys: 1. If they sign Machado, where will Moncada most likely hit in the lineup? 2. If they sign Machado, what will the bench look like?

The motivation behind this signing isn't even about how Jay performs on the field. He's just another asset the Sox can use to help recruit Machado. That being said, he's better than Engel so it's a win/win for me.

Yankees fans are already throwing in the towel

My hand actually hurts from refreshing Twitter so much.
