Yep he was all over the Manny trade market last offseason. IIRC, Orioles fans respected his insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard Manny Machado announce where he was going yet. I’m with you man. Seems like a weird time & place for this to leak out if true. I’m leaning towards this being one final Hail Mary to drive up the price for the Sox & Phillies. If I know one thing about negotiations, final offers are never final until an agreement is actually signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesterday333 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Didn't we just hear nobody had submitted final offers and he would get those after the new year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 FWIW, Heyman tweeted this just over an hour ago. I find it hard to believe that they went from "waiting for the market to play out" on Machado to him for sure signing there in that short of a time span. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 LOL it may be true or maybe not but the people claiming this is definitive proof of Manny to NY sound like they wanted that since the beginning . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the source of the Sox/Machado rumors last year. This guy is legit. He's the equivalent of Scot Gregor or Chuck Garfein. And how often do those guys break massive news stories? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautox Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 If Manny is going to NY then I hope Hahn gets creative and ships Yonder & Colome there. Yankees get: Yonder & Colome Sox get: Ellsbury(+8-10M) + Clint Frazier & Estevan Florial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) It does seem like a negotiation tactic to get the Sox and Phillies to up their offers. But also wouldn't be shocked if it ended up being true since I've expected him to go there for more than a year now.

I can get Frazier since he’s major league ready, but Florial just creates an even glut in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did her ever break something this significant though? Like Merkin has because he’s the voice of the club, but usually the big stuff is from national guys or complete rando’s from what I’ve seen.

It's like when jump on people reporting that 2 teams are discussing a trade for Player A, only for Player A to get dealt somewhere else. Everyone says the report is wrong just because the trade didn't happen. Is the report wrong? No. Player A just got traded somewhere else. So that's not a very good example of being "wrong."
