Not necessarily. Bad contract swap or a straight salary dump where the team basically gets him for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Harper to the Phillies and Machado to the Yankees would be devastating. Absolutely devastating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, the only confirmed pieces are Segura, Crawford and Santana. I would assume there would be some more prospects involved.

Better than Harper to the Cubs. With that said, wow did the fan base get some irrational hope about the chance the Sox had to sign either guy.

I would assume there would be some more prospects involved. Wow, I think it’s smart the Mariners took on Santana’s contract, but they better be compensated accordingly. Crawford is a nice centerpiece (even with his hype down a bit), but there better be more coming their way. Absorbing Santana’s $40M is nothing to sneeze at, especially after working hard to get out of Cano’s deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to give up hope until they've signed elsewhere, but the Phillies look like they're motivated to add one of these guys and the Yankees have an endless budget. It'll be an uphill battle, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this does is ensure they add an OF. It’s more they upgraded at SS without adding too much to their payroll while also moving Hoskins to 1B. Makes it even easier for them now to go bonkers on Bryce and/or Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably will, but I still think we have a good chance of landing the other one. This reminds of the Abreu market when the stars aligned and most of the big spenders had little to no interest. Outside of the Yankees with Machado, I don’t see any serious threats. And I’m not convinced the Yankees are prepared to offer a record setting contract for Machado just yet.

yesterday333 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 If the phils land machado, I don't think Harper goes to the yanks... In the past he has said he doesn't like the city of NY and has openly complained about their rules regarding hair and made other comments indicating he isn't a fan of the yanks.
