It is uncanny how similar this whole ordeal is to the Machado signing. Let’s hope the sox can swoop in this time.

Just not likely to happen with these clowns in charge unfortunately. Expand Not against this at all, merely pointing out how Machado’s rareity is why he is worth MORE than the 300 mil we weren’t willing to play. Also I see Bogaerts as he ages at 3b which could also suit our needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand For Bryce definitely. For Manny, not sure if Padres would have gotten involved. Yankees likely would have been more aggressive.

Expand Didn't this guy get the memo about the Dodgers and the big bad luxury tax? They can't sign Harper because they told their investors months ago that they would stay under the tax.

Kpet1010 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Well since our sources are dead silent, we can only see what the other teams are doing.

If he ends up signing for 10/$330 or less, that will be concerning...unless he takes less to play in LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If I had to guess, I like the Dodgers on like a $330M/14 year deal type structure that has been suggested. Gets the AAV way down for luxury tax purposes. Obviously the opposite of what we've heard that they're interested on a short-term basis only, but this solves their problem more than a short term deal does. Then they just figure out how to rid themselves of him 6-8 years down the line in some salary dump deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger than the Cubs, Bulls, Bears.. Expand And yet it wouldn’t even have been the biggest currently active contract in baseball. It wouldn’t have been the biggest currently active AAV in baseball. In a few days, it won’t even be the biggest contract or AAV in this current free agent period. Despite the fact that Machado was, considering age, premium position, and track record, the second best free agent in history, behind Alex Rodriguez. And the White Sox payroll commitments, I’m guessing, are by far the lowest of all the Chicago sports teams, at least in terms of rank in the league. Adjusted for era, they might even be the lowest in the history of the franchise. If you’re going to contextualize an event, you have to look at all of it.
