For me, its not getting them at all. Getting Machado or Harper, even short term will have a bunch of benefits. It will also prove that the front office will commit big money to free agents.
Someone smarter than me please explain how this is an advantage for the Sox. I thought our leverage was that we were able to add him long term for big dollars and other teams would be happy to add him for a short term deal?
Haha! Take it easy man! It was a joke. Sorry I made fun of your precious sources. You hurt me by refusing to give us any new information from your super secret sources! Selfish
I guess Heyman and Passan, who seem to post things that are more favorable to Lozano, are the only ones allowed to tweet about Machado. He put the other guys in time out.
Probably getting Machados hopes up and making anything less look like a dissapointment. If your agent is telling you 350 is realistic and you max out at 250, that would be a hard pill to swallow.
As of right now with just the addition of Machado:
Moncada - 2B
Machado-3B
Abreu-DH
Eloy- LF
Alonso -1B
Palka-RF (I guess)
Castillo-C
Anderson-SS
Jay-CF
