The tranny going on right now has it about right I guess? Machado gave the Sox all chances and they wouldn't guarantee 300M. Okay its done. Bernsie went on that the Sox better give up the no opt outs stance. I have to disagree there. If you want the 300M guarantee then I don't think you should get the 3-5 year player opt out. That is too much advantage to player and they should give a little for that.

Kap said he was told by a baseball exec (not Cubs/Sox) that Boras already told the Sox they have no shot at Harper. He doesn't want to play there.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

This is bullshit. If they paid more than anyone Boras is going to pass that up?

the 3-5 year opt out is a gift to management too.... it lets someone else sign him for 10 years to age 40 and eat the 6ish years of bad production at the tail end of the contract
