They focused on Machado because the entire word from every report was that Machado would sign first. That's why it's played out this way. Remember boras and JR talked and mentioned they still have a decent relationship prior to what people think or say from the past. Great point. I will actually be very surprised if the Sox do not now aggressively pursue Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Sox aren't willing to go over 300 million or include opt-outs in their offers. If those things are true, they have no chance at Harper. But I'm hoping the backlash from missing on Machado will cause them to change their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a bit confused by his quote and what he is trying to say. What is so crazy about having two different budgets/frameworks for two different players? And how is that crazier than signing Harper to a record-setting deal? Harper SHOULD get a record-setting deal and more than Machado as he will be a brand himself that will make whatever team he goes to a ton of money in ticket and merchandise sales and more. He will earn his contract wherever he goes, on and off the field. Edited February 20, 2019 by Machado2Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they failed at Machado’s eventual price when the Padres paid up, I don’t see things changing when the Phillies inevitably pay up for Harper and it’s a number that is out of the Sox comfort level, just like Machado’s Padres deal.
