Harper has a statline of .260/.373/.479/.852 with 2.6 WAR/150 and 13.7 UZR/150

Machado has a statline of .271/.342/.512/.854 with 4.1 WAR/150 and 3.7 UZR/150 for 3B, and -5.8 UZR/150

Note BR  ref is harsher then fangraphs on harpers defense which affects his war slightly.

The point is has how either performed changed your thought process on the effort spent pursuing them? Or would you have rather explored other options?

The key to all of it is going to be Madrigal. Will he be good enough to justify moving Moncada off of 2nd. I doubt there's a GM in baseball who would trade Moncada for Machado.

Harper's a big can of whatever. 

It’s not about 3B or 2B.

It’s about having six above-average major league hitters (at least) out of 9.

With Moncada looking great at 3B, if Madrigal pans out at 2B, and if the Sox throw the money they didn’t spend on Machado at an ace like Cole, they can definitely make the non-signing of Machado look like a great move.

But does anyone really think they will spend the money on Cole?
