I was referring to Machado, not Harper. The Harper offer was reportedly 10/284 in total value from the Nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just plainly repeated what he said on his show and didn't expound upon it at all. It's the shitty rest of the interview that leaves us feeling like he doesn't see us a real threat, but his initial report was never his opinion anyway, he was just repeating what he was told 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 If you want to see a bunch of entitled New Yorkers whining like crazy, go hit up Twitter right now. They aren’t taking to these White Sox rumors too kindly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I wouldnt expect anyone besides the biggest writers are getting direct leaks. No offense to guys like white sox dave, but you are talking about arguably the biggest signing in Sox history. No one with direct knowledge is putting it the hands of bloggers etc. If Machado signs, i expect the Sox to give the scoop to someone who has done work for them for years. Everything else is bread crumbs being recirculated to varying degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox generally operate by keeping things close to the vest. This leaking is not typical of them as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leak almost undoubtedly would be from Machado's side trying to get higher offers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the Sox are very serious at trying to get a deal done. No other formal offer has been reported as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the signing other teams interest leaks, but to me this seems like Machado wants another higher offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point the clear suitors have emerged and both sides should have a good idea of both the contract demands and what teams are willing to do in terms of years and dollars. I still would not consider the Sox to be a favorite for either big fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, do you guys have any idea how this shit works? It's a small club. Everybody is just a phone call away and nobody is playing tiddlywinks. If an agent straight up lies to Hahn word is going to get around. You don't bluff and bullshit like you're donald trump in these negotiations.

Because if the reports from NY are true, ownership is split. Machados agent needs something to change the dynamics. Why would the Sox leak they are close? That would be the stupidest thing ever. The Sox want complete silence if they are close. And why would Machado's agent be lying? They dont have a deal, hes trying to get his cliet more money. (edit) Only other option is its from thr NY camp who wants to sign him. Edited January 4, 2019 by Soxbadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys think GMs and Owners and agents give contract offers and counter offers based on twitter rumors I got no response. It's absurd on its face. Now for trades? Totally different.
