Kpet1010 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Also, the gov shutdown finally ended so we can stop asking what will come first. That or manny signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 People made a big deal about Trubisky being announced a Bear while Mike Glennon was doing a team event. I feel there's a little shade of that with this, where Tim A. would be there and it'd put a lot of mics in his face and make it uncomfortable Tim will be 2019 ss but in a year's time thereafter, one doesn't likely see Madrigal, Yoan, Manny out of that IF, and Manny is the only ss. Meanwhile OF is also stocked for 2020, in theory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I mean the Padres have talked to Manny's agent. You think they'll throw him a bid if he said he's not playing there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, not trying to be political and not saying good or bad, but as an agent if I could construct a contract to protect my client from something like this I should look into it shouldn't I? It might take a couple years but this is what some want. I would try to protect my client from as many scenarios as I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Now is when we will find out if the Sox push to sign Machado was real. They had to go in knowing what it would cost. Put up or shut up. I'm grateful for a new team, this will end soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I think this is Lozano trying to push the last offer out of Philly and Chicago. It actually would be good if Padres put in an offer as well. Will really move the urgency of this.

It's funny that the "mystery team" is unmasked on Soxfest day. Now all the questions are going to be about how they let another team in.

Princess Dye Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Jerry would be more stressed by NYY or LAD being very involved on this. Today's news is the same as when we heard there's a mystery team. And when we intuited (intelligently!) that several teams want one of the best players in the game, not just Chicago. Today's news doesn't matter if we still are the team with the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are scratching their heads trying to figure out how he knew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
