I'll keep going just for you though, buddy! Agreed. More productive than the Machdo rumors. Found a couple of new bands to listen to.

Jack Parkman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) To be honest, I really don't know what to think. Lots of smoke around the Sox, but this Moustakas rumor makes me think that Machado to Yankees is possible.

Flatland Cavalry is described as having a very similar sound to Turnpike Troubadours but they are much less known. I heard about Cody Jinks from a Dwayne Johnson instagram post. Apparently he is massive in Texas but his fame hasn't really spread outside of that. Sturgill Simpson is crazy good and actually won a grammy for best country album (I believe) but is blacklisted from country radio because of his left leaning stances, particularly his anti-war stance that comes out in several songs (he is a veteran). When people talk about the guys keeping country alive, they often refer to Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, and Jason Isbell, with Tyler Childers as the up and coming one. The first three guys often make appearances with each other.

KnightsOnMintSt Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I feel like there hasn't been a ton of smoke around Machado to NY in the last couple of days. I really think that the Yankees are standing pat with a 7-year offer at about $150 million to $200 million. However, the Sox and Phillies probably have offers at about 7-year, $200 million to 7-year, $250 million, and at this point, Machado is just trying to decide how much money it would truly take to not get him to sign with the Yankees. Is it $30 million, $40 million, $50 million... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Officially caught up and must admit this roller coaster ride was kind of nice to be away from for most of today, time to strap back in and continue the ride though......I have a really tough time believing the Sox don’t have insight knowing Jay and Alonso won’t tip the scales in our favor, so I hold out hope....ugh I don’t know what the hell im talking about right now. C’mon Hahn LETS GO!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 1 minute ago, TheTruth05 said: Money talks Sure, but if it is close enough, that is where the problem lies. If there is a 5/175 offer from the Yankees, a 7/245 from the Sox and a 6/210 from the Phillies, who does he choose? The money is equal from an AAV standpoint on all three. This is the issue I believe is taking him so long, and based on what we've heard I'd imagine that these are pretty close to the actual offers from each team.
