Would love to add a Machado/Harper/Kershaw to the rebuild.

The Sox will have a ton of money to spend but they're not handing out mega million contracts to any of these players. They don't have the type of payroll to be able to sustain it long term or cover it up if ends up being a mistake. It'll be the usual teams that will hand out those crazy contracts that will end up being an albatross in a few years.

I think you are short sited. Thinking about it more... offer one of them 200 for 5 years.

For harper/Machado its worth it based on their age. For Kerhsaw its worth it to have the best baseball player on any planet in this universe.
