caulfield12 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 3. Chicago White Sox They're the other team that got the private tour of the SS Machado, and for the same reasons they'd be a great fit for Harper, they make a ton of sense for Machado. There has been much talk of the White Sox trading for Yonder Alonso, Machado's brother-in-law, being an enticement for Machado, but I don't know, you tell me: After last Thanksgiving, did you think, "Hey, I'd like to spend all year with those people?" Machado could be the veteran presence for all those young White Sox hitters -- which is a positive or a negative, depending on your perspective -- and they could essentially grow up around him as their centerpiece. The White Sox might not be as high profile as Machado might like, but they were more than good enough for Michael freaking Jordan, for crying out loud. The White Sox are the most fascinating team to be in on both Machado and Harper, and with all that talent in the system, they could be primed to dominate that division for the next five years … with or without Machado https://www.mlb.com/news/ranking-manny-machados-best-suitors/c-301982248 Has NYY and Philly ahead of Sox, of course...

I don’t get the constant Michael Jordan references. Do people not realize the Sox and Bulls are owned by the same person? Plus he never played in the MLB... seems irrelevant to all this.

KnightsOnMintSt Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 So do we think that Manny is a lock for the Yankees and his agent is using these meetings for leverage, or is there a legit chance that he could sign with the Sox/Phillies?

That makes the two of us, the level of stupidity about he’s going here or he is going there that is going to be posted will be ridiculous and no good news about the Sox with him will be posted until Friday night or Saturday more than likely.

This comes down to money. Pay me the most money and very strong chance the player signs with you. Simple. The media and front offices can spin things however they want, but that is pretty much what this boils down to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenneSox Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 NY, Philly, Chicago, fit this, fit that - does anyone doubt for a second that Machado is just going to pick the biggest $$$? He'll sign in Japan if they decide to pay him more than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
