So if the Sox do miss out on Manny or Harper, this has all been a sick joke that trolls the fan base?  If you see Jon Jay or Adam Jones signed this weekend, all hands on deck.

Why would you be upset?  They're doing everything they can, they've traded for a member of Machado's family for christ's sake

Why is it bad? Gives us a solid LH bat for 9M for possibly 2 years. Don't really think it is a big deal

Because we have a player that could be a long term solution for cheaper, is already as good, and there is no reason to acquire him.

If the Sox don't offer the most money, I don't think this matters. Now, this type of move matters if say, for example, hes weighing a couple offers and the Sox have the highest bid by say $20m over the Yankees, a team he wants to play for supposedly. Only then does this extra stuff matter.

If the move doesn't work, who cares? Our payroll is dirt low and nobody else is worth offering a long term contract aside from Harper and Machado. If we miss on them, next year really doesn't matter 

Yeah but how do you ever live down offering the most money, bringing in family, and still getting rejected?

Yeah, it sucks, but you move on and get better. Winning solves everything. Keep building your young core and gwt above .500.
