Definitely only interesting if we got him at a solid discount.  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.

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.

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.

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 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.

yes, and this is where I hope they're being realistic about their chances with Bryce.

House Hunters and Pitch Perfect 2 mentioned in the same day. MACHADO TO CHICAGO CONFIRMED.

Fine with me if it means they signed Machado.  If they miss both, god help them explaining Avi as their big expenditure.

With all this build up I can’t see how the Sox could justify not signing one of them.. I’d guess they old “you can’t force someone to sign with you” Fans are going to be pissed.

I think so too unfortunately. 

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.
