I just wrote your name on the chalkboard and put a check next to it. 

I actually thought you might get that blatant Phineas and Ferb reference…

My kids haven't shown interest in that one. The Mount Rushmore would be: Simpsons, Amphibia, Big City Greens, Amazing World of Gumball.

So far, the only rumor is Adames, who will require something large and long.  Not in the same neighborhood as Soto, but maybe close to Alonso.

I’d be surprised if the Sox get even close to an offer for Adames.  I think most everyone on the planet, including most of the bushmen on the Kulwahari, expect Adames to sign with the Dodgers.  The Sox are not outbidding the Dodgers.  
 

I don’t expect Fried or Burnes, either.

I'd set the odds at less than 1% we sign any of the 4 guys combined: Soto, Burnes, Fried or Adames.

I'm not sure the group of Bregman, Alonso, Snell and Cole (if he can opt out) is much more than 1%.

To me, our best bets for major FA signings are second/third tier:

Flaherty, N Martinez, Nate, Manaea, Tanner Scott, J Hoffman, Estevez, Kikuchi, Danny Jansen, K Jansen, C Holmes, Sewald

Maybe: O'Neill, Wacha, Bieber, Heaney, Severino, Lorenzen, Montas, Chapman, Robertson, Martin, Minter, Kittredge, Treinen
