CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Jack Parkman said: Of course he could, but I think the Reward outweighs the risk. How often do position players get beaned nowadays? It really doesn't happen all that often. The only real risk he has is blowing a knee running the bases and that only happens to two or three guys a season. The risk is minimal. Or ya know like a tragedy. People do die unexpectedly all the time. Those DR roads have claimed a few. Lyman Bostock shot. Tim Crews, Steve Olin Jose Fernandez, Thurman Munson, Roberto Clemente. Joe Kennedy , Corey Lidle, Yordano Ventura, Luis Valbuena,Nick Adenart, Darryl Kile and many more. White Sox had a pitcher Paul Edmundson who died in a car crash in 1970. Francisco Barrios died age 28, 1981 from a heart attack played whole career with Sox . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were close, there would be no need for negotiations in the press of offers being SO far apart. Also notice the lack of any tweets relating to his contract today? Feels like it's going to be a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter bio says he used to be affiliated with the Jim Rome show. I wouldn't know who Jim Rome is, either, except he once insinuated that a male guest was a woman and promptly got his ass beat by that same guest while still on the air.

Soxbadger Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 If Machado was going to take a 1 or 2 year contract, hed have to get one of those insurance policies like college football players. Not sure if he could get one for $100mil plus, but its theoretically possible, especially if it had like a $1mil premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xSouthsider2 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I have watched Sox baseball since the mid 50's. NOTHING, concerning the Sox or MLB has been as weird as yesterday. So much "leaks", "rumors" "fighting" and whatever between the agent, "sources", and so called sports reporters! Really hard to believe they sunk this low. I think this will not be resolved soon. We could get to 1,000 pages here before anything is resolved. I hope we get Machado. A lot of these same "leakers" and/or tweeters that are belittling Machado's character IMHO probably are for teams that will not be getting him. I have heard a couple people that supposedly know Machado that have a different take: They think Machado is the kind of player you hate if he is playing against you, but love if he is on your team. Sound familiar? Like a guy named "AJ"? I will take a 26 year old superstar that plays like AJ did any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Quote The sides have at least discussed a contract structure that would allow Chicago to exercise an option after year three that would trigger team control for an eighth or ninth year, according to major league sources. This probably accounts for some of the confusion over whether Machado has a seven or eight year offer on the table. He has likely been offered a contract that could be either. In that structure, Machado would get to opt out after 2021 if the team doesn't opt in. https://www.sny.tv/yankees/news/could-the-swellopt-be-a-path-to-yankees-for-free-agent-manny-machado/302837298 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
