either would be a great fit here. The outfield tools seem more needed defensively, and the left handed pop a missing piece for a while.

Clubhouse Machado would seem the better fit.

The Sox seem to always make a "fairplay" offer of the right value, because they refuse to accept themselves as a undesirable destination that needs to overpay to have a baseball team. They can't wait for the right value right fit guy to come at a fair price, they need to buck the trend leaving either of these guys on the market in this collusion, and force one of those guys to sign, preferably the one they choose they need the most. Make them see some reason you want to win there instead of New York, or L.A., Florida.

Go ahead. Overpay...sox fans deserve it.

I'm not believing anything till I see it happen. No team is all in and no team is fully out at this point. But this makes me hopeful. :whitesox:

I thought Harper and machado would have signed sometime this week with whoever they choose. Always thought after the super bowl they would make their move so that they can be in the spot light rather then shadowed by the nfl

I was listening to radio and they say machado is close to signing 8 year 250 mil deal with the Padres

Maybe that 180 mil figure reported a month ago that the Sox offered is about right
