Leak to the media that the Phillies are focusing now on those other players to make the Sox think that their offer to Machado is good, when the Phillies have actually just made a larger offer to Machado? With as much work as Sox have done with Lozano...he is coming back and saying give us last offer since Phillies went higher. So, unless it's stupid money...shouldn't matter.

HakunaMachado Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 So after 300+ pages, I am feeling like I’m a tweet away from either MM being my favorite player, or my most hated player in mlb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty confident The Orioles are out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would be toward sox, I think it would be toward manny, trying to show they aren't gonna just wait for him. That said, I don't see any clear winners here. I think people in philly may have convinced the owner whose available, the plan, and now people are excited and just blabbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me sad, though. You realize when they are counting hits, there is no difference between an anger hit or a happy to read you hit? People retweeting and posting that stuff is why it continues to survive. If you don't like, don't give it public play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxwinner Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I dont think rabbits tweet about Kenny liking Wednesday last week, his tweet today about this saga nearing an end, and now these tweets are a coincidence. But then again I've been wrong about this too many times to count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry man, that doesn't make sense. The Sox aren't going to base their actions on tweets. If the Phillies beat us with an offer, Lozano is going to point that out to the Sox to elicit a bigger offer. This will go back and forth until one side quits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Signing Keuchel to a long term deal would scare me, I see the comparisons to Buehrle, but Mark was a generational talent to be this effective with his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
