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." I think Alonso is a factor here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Baseball is a business. The two of them are going to do what's best for them. She could fly first class to see her brother every weekend for like a century if Machado gets the money he wants.

Right, but if rumors of us saying we wont be outbid, along with getting the opportunity to spend every day with your family and best friend playing the game you love, wouldn't that make him happy? That's all we're saying. Business is happy and person is happy. Win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I think Manny's wife will be ok with her new rock she'll surely have on her finger or neck, and get over not being around her brother so much if a team outbids the White Sox. If we want to get all stereotypical about women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not be so sure^ Currently there seems to be only 3 main bidders in the Sox, Yankees and Phillies. Teams are not going to bid against themselves, and teams are also smarter than they used to be regarding years and guarantees. Could Machado get 350? Perhaps, but I wouldn't bank on the numbers going as sky high as expected. Team would rather put relatively high AAV per year deals on the table, but shorten the length of the deal.

My opinion is that 50 million spread out over 5-8 years won't cripple the Sox. Just don't fucking give him a 10 year deal. I'd gladly outbid the Yankees by 50 million over 6 years if that's what it takes. The Sox have so many prospects coming through the org that by the time they have to pay everybody they should be rolling in revenue, wins and success and will want to keep the good thing going. Manny's extra AAV of 10 or so million isn't going to cripple any necessary resigning of home grown talent. IMO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Lamar Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 any word from Wellington on this. He was supposed to be a close friend of Machado's as well and the Sox made curious moves at catcher all off season but kept him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
