If he's still barking up the $80m/5 tree, no way. Someone will fold and cough up the cash though (looking at you Philly!) I wouldn't extremely overpay to get him, but at a reasonable salary he would look good playing between Jimenez and Harper at the Rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I am guessing Mannys wife probably prefers the White Sox because her brother is now here, but for how long? Manny most likely is Yankees. Maybe the compromise is taking the stupid money in Philadelphia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get Harper, I'm fine with Engel there another year because that would be a very weak corner outfield defense. If they don't get Harper, for some reason I feel they get Marwin Gonzalez.

Bob Sacamano Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I think someone mentioned it earlier, but if you're even remotely considering signing them both together, you might as well go all out and secure one at the highest bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like house hunters MLB, 3 teams, two of them are favored by the couple for different reasons and then there is the third.....which do they choose ?

I’d guess they old “you can’t force someone to sign with you” Fans are going to be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Avi for 1 year at 9 million than Adam Jones, etc. Much better chance he either has a great season and becomes a solid trade chip at the deadline or he puts it all together and you can extend him/QO him. Unlikely, but at least it's possible instead of just wasting money on another VETERAN leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
