pcq Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Fake Ken Rosenthal has Sox closing in on Machado for 12/360 if you can believe it. Why not 20 years?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveno89 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 22 minutes ago, Whitesox27 said: On a somewhat related note, how much do you guys think Machado will ultimately sign for? I'll say 350 million. I could be wrong, but I do not necessarily see him getting that kind of a payday. 8/256 or something along those lines is hardly an offer to scoff at.

But you aren't going to walk out. This may be the team offering you $300 million. Would you actually leave? They met 3 times on Monday. They met for lunch, then at the Park, and then they met later for dinner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a Yankee if that’s the best offer. 10/$350M is my prediction for him, hopefully coming from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I would not be surprised at all if Manny didn’t break 300. Though I hope if that’s the case it’s with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Common sense tells me his wife would be very upset if they don't take the Chicago offer considering they signed her brother. I mean with money being about the same from wherever they go. The other possibility is Manny just tells his agent to go with the team that offers the most money and years ... period and get back to him when that is finalized.

Manny doesn't strike me as a guy who needs to be "the star." He strikes me as a guy who is going to take the most amount of cash on the table. Harper on the other hand is a dude who wants the limelight. Edited December 19, 2018 by Sockin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think her brother playing for the White Sox is much of a factor at all. And as far as the money, yeah he may indeed decide to take the most money, but it'll be his decision. He's not going to just let his agent handle everything and "get back to him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that matters a bit. He knows he's the man wherever. I'm just using common sense. The signing of the brother-in-law was masterful by the Sox considering the Sox have made it clear they will pay as much or more than any other team. My only other common sense point is usually players just take the most $$ (Hosmer to the awful Pads, etc).

What do people on here think an agent does? Based on everything I've read on here the past few weeks, the players might as well not even have one. It was especially funny when people were discrediting the value of Harper's agent, ya know, Scott Boras. There's a reason these guys get hired.
