He'll get less offered even then because that's one less year, or few games.

Jack Parkman Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Anyone else think it is possible he just doesn't like the market this year and he takes a 1-year deal with the Yankees and goes through it again next year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He could get at least a 3 year deal with an opt out year 1 I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get closer to $300M. If... sorry, WHEN... the Sox pull this off. If it is for 7 years, do we still think there is going to be an opt out in there? Seems a little risky throwing one in there after year 4, and that's really the only logical place to put one on a "shorter" term deal.

KnightsOnMintSt Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So I was on a run and thinking about a potential Machado to the White Sox contract. I thought to myself, “Man, I think the White Sox should give Manny 10-year, $325 million.” Then I thought, “That seems like a lot.” I started thinking about the potential revenue that Machado alone could bring to the franchise, though. I’m no math wiz, but here’s what I came up with. Average of 2,000 per game attendance increase at an average of $20 a ticket: $3.24 million per season. Assume 1,500 of those people park at $20 per spot: $2.43 million. Assume each one of those people spends an average of $15 on food: $2.43 million. That alone is roughly $8.5 million per year in park revenue just from the Machado addition. Not even including retail sales. And I’m sure my numbers are way off, but that’s what I came up with.

Personally I find that hard to fathom but that what he said. Yeah. He is going to punt on $250 million because he didn't get 325,000,001.

That’s about as likely as you being serious when, 50 minutes ago, you said you were signing off for a while. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touche. I can't help myself. I'm mildly irritated that there is so much misinformation going around. I'd rather be completely in the dark than read this bullshit.
