Boopa1219 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 While I’ll be disappointed if the Sox don’t sign one of Harper/Machado, I’m not going to be upset as it appears the Sox have done everything that they could have done to land one of these guys, it’s all that we can ask of the org because the players have to make the final decision. Also, MLB Network is opening up MLB Tonight with an update from Levine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSox Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Simply put, if the Yankees wanted him, he would be there right now. They don't or more of the point Hal doesn't. So here we are. Sox just need to beat out Philly. I like those chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have to deal with the "preferred team", and they should have some advantage with his buddies on the roster. They've come this far, it's not the time to let money get in the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I know it's a minor thing, but it's a little odd to me that Jay's deal hasn't been announced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have put all of their chips in on nabbing a whale, and not delivering would crush a suffering fanbase. We do not need to be competitive in 2019, or even 2020 for that matter, but there better damn be significant hope for the future coming from outside the organization. Conversely, are the cheered and revered if they do sign one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing concrete, but it wouldn't shock me if this was down to NYY and Sox and they were trying to decide between two offers, or even running back to the Yankees to say "can you beat this?" I was really close. Though I will say, I won't count the Yankees out until the ink dries on the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
