Technically you could argue that the last 2 years is a 2/25 so thats not really bad. Id basically give him the option, because either would be fine if I was the Sox. That cost is a good way of thinking about it, I always worry most about how easy it will be to trade. Each extra year of dead money seems harder to shed than sharing one last year or two with exchanging bad contracts. Regardless, both easy to swallow if it means getting to watch Machado for his age 26-32 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting old. Time for at least one of these guys to get serious and say it's time for the final bids. I don't think, these teams are going to find any more extra money under the cushions. It's almost like they are catering to the twitter bullshit artists. Edited January 8, 2019 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 8/280 for Machado actually seems like a solid deal for the Sox. That's only 35 million a year and the Sox could probably frontload it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows where the Sox stand in their bid except Machado and his agent, and whoever he gives the information. There is so much BS out there, with a dash of truth. We won't know what is what until it's over. Agreed any numbers out there are pure speculation. No one besides the top levels of the organization agent and client know the numbers. These types of things do not get leaked by organizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to pay for a players prime, not the declining years if possible. Seven would be ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmaranz Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 How about you do one of those "swellopt" deals for Manny? 7 Years, $250-70 millionish (whatever it is), opt out after 6, White Sox have 2 year option after 6 (boosting it to 8 years over $300 mil). That way we get a little protection for the deal and Manny and his agent can tell people he got Machado $300 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are probably talking $350 to $400 million to get him away from Washington. Like I said it’s not my money. However, the Sox can afford to sign both and it would still leave plenty of room in the payroll. Highly unlikely they’d sign both but one can dream.

Nobody cares what Chris Russo thinks and to be honest it doesn't matter. He is just another New York based talking head that opens mouth and says stuff.
