BackDoorBreach Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 If this actually happened I'd rather see them hold on to the better prospects this year and see how they shake out. We have a lot of holes to say the least and a lot of uncertainty in some of the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Is there any evidence that Harper and Machado are friends or even on speaking terms? I suppose there's a possiblility (however slim it might be) that they would want to team up together a la the 2010 Miami Heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Why would it be so hard to give them both the $300 M? They just need to structure the deal so that at least one of them will likely opt out after year 4 or 5. Give them both the first 5 years at $35 M each and the last five at $25 M. per year. The Sox could manage the early years and then likely lose one, or both of them, when it's time to extend our kids, after we've won a couple of World Series.

Well yeah, money is probably the deciding factor but I'm just wondering if they would be willing to share the spotlight if the Sox offered each of them the most.

I suppose there's a possiblility (however slim it might be) that they would want to team up together a la the 2010 Miami Heat. This is my thought process. Let’s say the Sox locked up machado already and appealed to Harper that they could be a dynasty for the next 10 years if he signs. Just like the heat.
