There's some nice premium 2nd tier free agents in Kuechel and Pollock available. Could probably snag both for half of Machado's commitment. Then you plug a hole at CF and SP. |

Cheap asshole of an owner. Doesn’t go beyond that factor. |

I guess patience and agents win out. As a Sox fan I am disappointed but am glad there isn’t some 10 year anchor around my team. |

Machado was never worth this money anyway. He’s overrated. Be happy this happened and enjoy signing your Jon Lester when you’re ready to compete in 2020. |

Ya know what makes a bad contract tolerable? A Championship or two. Sox are nowhere near seeing one in this next 10 year period. |

Oh well the Cubs fans will learn what a cheap owner is when the extensions/paydays come for their stars. They won’t be paying the all like this. |

Parkins made a good point on this yesterday. He’d rather they spend now on a 26yr old Harper than drop that same money on 30yr old Bryant when he’s finally a FA. |

Aside from Hispanic angle it would make more sense for Sox too to buy the Harper splash for 10 years than Machado. |

Never sign anyone for 10 years. |

C’mon when Eloy gets here he’ll be a solid .280 25 HR guy. Hope they don’t delay starting his clock though, he may hold that against them years later . |

They’ll try their best to ruin him but won’t be able to. Regardless of when his clock starts I have to imagine he will be bolting town at the first chance. There’s no reason a top tier player should want to sign or resign with a team that operates like a minor league club like the Sox. |

Miggy did his part, they blew it when they let Scherzer go then Verlander. |

Because they have had a joke of a franchise, where the star pitcher cuts up uniforms just to get traded. Where a player quits the team because they won't allow his kid in the clubhouse. Most importantly though because they have had a losing team 5 years straight, with no guarantee they will avoid another losing season anytime soon. Plus, it's a team that is looked upon as "the other" team in town, with a mediocre ballpark in a shitty area of town. |
