The odds on Machado and Donaldson just went down even more...there’s no point on wasting the most productive year remaining in Donaldson’s career on the 2019 team.  And Machado won’t sign unless the money is 10-15% better than the contending teams are willing to pay. 

Arenado becomes the likeliest target, unless they decide to pursue Moustakas again.

Don't mind Arenado at all

But Donladson isn't attractive at all to me, been in physical decline for 2-3 years, that'd be very Sox to sign him but please no

Arenado and Machado I'm all for

 

If they wanted Moose, should have got him this year, not too attractive

In fairness, we're playing the reigning champions.  we have KC coming up, so expect a win or two.

I really wouldn’t be surprised if we’re in the midst of a 10+ game losing streak... and I wouldn’t mind it one bit.

I almost prefer Arenado, dude impresses me so much

If Sox really are set on landing one big fish, if it isn't Harper (and in all likelihood it won't be), Arenado would be who I go after.  I get a feeling Donaldson will be who we get.

Decent home/away splits the last few years.  

My number 1 would be Harper...but I feel that Arenado fits our 2020 squad the best.  3rd base is more of a need than outfield also.   5 time Gold glove defense, sign me up...our team definitely needs the defense.  Give me all the defense.

4 way tie for second pick, one GB of Cincy.  5 games in four days against the Royals hould provide some clarity.

Bottom 9 taking teams quickly forming...Giants and Tigers holding on for now, Nationals hugely underachieving in a critical season for that franchise’s direction.

I am amazed there are THAT many teams playing as horribly as the Sox are. That is insane, and in an odd way makes me feel comforted haha.
