Machado signs with Padres 10/300

Jan. 29: Many Yankees fans have spent the offseason dreaming of Manny Machado in pinstripes, and there were rumors early on that the Bronx was Machado's preferred destination, too. But that possibility remains as remote as ever, as sources tell the New York Daily News' Wallace Matthews that the Yankees still have not extended a formal offer to Machado or his agent, Dan Lozano.

One source familiar with the Yankees' thinking told Matthews that New York has simply "talked in concepts" with Machado's camp, and those concepts have not topped the White Sox's offer, which is thought to be somewhere between $175 and $250 million.

This isnt college. He couldnt care less who his GM or owner are as long as the checks keep cashing.

The reason I mentioned that was because you really don't see a lot of contracts over 7 or 8 years.  There's really only been about a dozen or so?  Idk maybe more? Which is something outside the box he might consider. With that in mind, all of the top talent coming up in the system certainly helps those considerations. 

But you're right. Money is the main consideration.

  • Heads22 changed the title to Manny: Cold Stove

All sides have been keeping the cool poker face and will continue to do so. Show no urgency, no panic, until eventually one side shows that they are beginning to cave ever so slightly. Then that’s when things will get serious.

Isn’t this from the theme song of Beauty & the Beast?

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

Do the Sox even want Harper? We keep hearing they have interested in both players but they seem totally invested in Manny. Either they realize Bryce is going to surely be far too expensive for them or their interest has been exaggerated just to use as a fall back in the Lozano negotiation.

I don't think Harper's market is going to fully play out until after Manny signs.
