This is probably a longer conversation about music than I've ever had in my life. 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.

I do like the turnpike troubadour. Although I don't know the rest.

Oh man, you gotta check them out. 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. Sturgill had a couple awesome SNL performances that really made me find him.

I did look a couple of them up after your post. I like them. This is the most productive part of the 90000 pages of the topic.

I mean, if I was going to sign a 7 year, $250 million contract with the Chicago White Sox tomorrow, I'd dress like the dudes in that video. Hair, mustache, jackets, everything.

I couldn't.  Don't have the hair anymore. Maybe I would buy some like Urlacher!

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...

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!!

Alonso was interesting, signing Jay as well really seemed to tip the scales, it seems.

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.
