A guy who's had two knee operations wants to play out his career and not end up like another Crede, Chavez, etc. Supposedly he was born with some defect in his knees. Once they were cleaned up, it isn’t supposed to be a lingering problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting to the point to think Manny is a lil b**** like Harper. Right now honestly I could care less if he signs with us. 2 suitors name your price and choose. There's millions of people who don't have anything so don't be such a fuck amnd greedy. Name your price, make your decision.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) The only ream I could think of is Miami. They have no payroll and he can live at home. If there is one place he may pay for himself, it’s there IMO. But usually teams are a mystery because they are figments of ones imagination.

DirtySox Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Someone mentioned the Cardinals in a tweet today. Could possibly still be the mystery team. Or the mystery team is fake and just a leverage ploy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightsOnMintSt Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I’m not one to get overly optimistic, but this seems like a final effort by Machado’s camp to raise those offers. Bryce to the Phillies and Manny to the White Sox seems close to me. I personally don’t even think the Phillies are even that in on Manny anymore with their full attention seeming to be on Harper. I think this is a final push to exclusively elevate the Sox offer slightly. I could see the Sox being at 7-year, $230 million, and this is a final push to get them around 7-year, $250 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 ?? notice they didn’t say the Yankees, personally the mystery team is always there, mlb network was making fun of the mystery team during the winter meetings, it’s all smoke to drive up the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another team that doesn't tie up a ton of money on anyone and can play him at SS. Edit: not that I actually believe there is one. Just that I think they can always be on anyone.

Brentmd2 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I would love Manny alone...but maybe the only way to get Harper is Manny first. Anyway if he get one, two or none of them we are on the upside to this rebuild so better days are ahead nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one thought Pujols was going to the Angels until it was announced. No one thought Cano would go to Seattle. No one had Greinke in AZ. It just takes one. And if you are an owner and have to overpay, wouldn’t you rather overpay a guy like this vs. someone in the next tier or 2 below? They already have $13 million in, they need to get to the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I am sure there are plenty of mystery teams if he bidding is truly only at $200M (it’s probably not tho). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote4Pedro Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If you are machados camp and it’s obvious it’s down to Chicago and Philly you create the idea of a mystery team because at this point you don’t have much more leverage left without another team involved, pretty simple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
