heirdog Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 14 minutes ago, shipps said: Do the Sox even want Harper? We keep hearing they have interested in both players but they seem totally invested in Manny. Either they realize Bryce is going to surely be far too expensive for them or their interest has been exaggerated just to use as a call back in the Lozano negotiation. Under.The.Radar Sox did the Bryce pitch right at the beginning...remember when we all thought he was our main target with no Manny news early on. Boras’ ship much tighter thus lips much tighter. Lozano is more of a histrionics showboat and thus planted leaks and fake news everywhere, which he somewhat successfully tried to stifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been the only move to improve them behind 2019, which is a sunk year anyway. My favorite move as well, but getting Homer Bailey off the books was a close second.

Except now we have two platypuses hanging over the entire market, slightly different dynamic. Plus, their on-field positions are more impactful to the series of moves that would be connected. Machado goes to the Phils, they’d have to trade Franco to the Padres before SD went to Moustakas, etc. Same with the moves the Sox would make after signing Machado...such as trading for Pederson, lower-tier starting pitcher, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pretty much describes the situation the Sox are in right now. Machado=Beauty White Sox=Beast (due to an unmitigated disaster over the last six years, and their 40 years of signing only Fisk and Belle that were close to in their prime future HoF candidates) I guess I missed the memo where we had ANY relevant news to discuss...instead of raw conjecture, speculation and 100 multi-faceted theories about what was actually taking place behind the scenes.
