fathom Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 btw, Yanks seem to be close to trading Sonny Gray and a reliever (Kahnle and/or Holder). Got to hope this isn't all setting up for them to trade Andujar for Kluber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can kind of see the 7 years/ $175 as an offer. If the sox opt in for him then the salary would skyrocket after three years to make the deal equal to 8/250. $25 million for the first 3 years If the sox pick up the extra year (or two) his contract would become $35 million until the contract runs out Edited January 17, 2019 by Peacock Wrestler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesoxa6 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yankees will end up with Machado because the great Rick Hahn can't offer fair value for Manny. Good for Hahn.

Almost weren't going to trade him cause of cc health but seems he's good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying Gray signifies that they're going after Kluber, more that the wheels seem to be in motion for them to execute whatever plans they have.

The first time I read it I just assumed they were speculating that it COULD be there, not that it IS in there. I don't believe they would know this information for sure either.
