Jack Parkman Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) If they are discussing these guys I would imagine a 72 hr window is involved. It is the only way anything of the sort makes sense. Edited December 14, 2017 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade would be contigent on the Sox reaching an extension with Machado during the 72 hour window. And if it doesn't happen, the deal doesn't happen.

Kalapse Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Problem is, the 72 hour window doesn't fit the "sell him on Sox culture" narrative, unless Sox culture is significantly more potent than I thought it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Orioles are still talking to teams about machado but sources say there’s no expectation/belief MM/agent would grant negotiating window for acquiring team at present. So would be 1 year player. Heyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) I honestly just don't get this. If you want Machado so badly, just be offer him the most amount of money in the off-season next year. Does the White Sox organization have such a great culture that he will begging to stay with us if we traded for him? I doubt it. This move just seems to contrary to everything Hahn has done the last year plus. Edited December 14, 2017 by maggsmaggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spend all this time acquiring assets, now to trade them for a probable rental, since apparently you are selling culture over money, is exactly the opposite of what you have been doing. Most of the guys they traded have more control than Machado, and I love Machado. I really think, especially if he moves back to SS, he can be the best player in baseball. But you have to pay him if you want him. Keep your prospects and pay him when it's time. You can give him a nice presentation, and then offer him the most money and he will sign with you. If you aren't prepared to do that, he's gone anyway, and that is some more rebuilding time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said yesterday around this time, if you want to put together a title contender, you trade some of the prospects for Yelich and then break the bank for Machado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made a small amount of sense with a window, without one it makes a negative amount of sense. Never really expected the window. The price is more with an agreed to extension. They can buy him now at his one year cost and have a 7-month window. If they can't work something out, trade him and recoup some loss. I can get on board with this idea depending on the cost. But personally, I'd rather just try to sign him next off-season. Edited December 14, 2017 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
