Nah, I think they sign Marwin Gonzales and Ervin Santana

To be honest, I don't think they sign anyone. This is your team. Maybe they sign CarGo or Adam Jones because they need a competent RF but other than them, I don't see it.

Look, I get why we shouldn't have a lot of optimism in this FO to actually outsmart anyone and make a play for Harper. But if I'm the Sox, I WANT Nightengale putting information out there saying the Phillies are bidding against themselves so that we can try to sneak in with a winning (panic?) bid that beats what the Phils consider "good enough".

This team is run by a clown college of morons. They're not smart enough to pull that off.

If they can't sign Harper they shouldn't sign anyone. They have a reasonable option to fill every position and a long-term plan for those positions once they move Moncada to 3b. No other option is a better use of money, and if positions of need to appear they could just fill it with a mid-level free agent next offseason for the same type of price.

They're going to get another starting pitcher.  At this point, I would be furious if they sign CarGo or Jones.

Completely agreed.

I really need to stop reading this forums because everytime I see someone's post I think of how the sox can turn something into a negative.   

Like signing Cargo and Kuechel for way over their value.

Even a fair contract for them is a poor contract for this franchise. Congratulations, you spent $25 million on them, and your team will now win 70 games next year instead of 67. This is the type of success you wanted to bring with that money and a great value, right?
