Orlando Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I really have a feeling this ends next week. I don’t think it will drag until March. Either a team will match or Manny will settle. These reports about waiting til March, being unhappy and the Padres stuff seem like he’s trying to squeeze money out of someone in a last ditch effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 2 minutes ago, bmags said: Again, he's not losing anything by waiting. So remove your hyperbole and it makes sense he continues to wait. At some point finding lodging in chicago and "settling in" may start to become an issue (hopefully very soon) but we are still just 2 days into P&C reporting. You're probably correct. But he is risking himself getting injured or some other unforseen circumstance. I don't think the White Sox or Phillies offers are going lower. If Harper signs, one will come off the board, but I don't see how the other one would then dramatically increase. I think the SF, SD, mystery team stuff is all BS. \ The funny thing is, if he truly is holding out for what Heyman suggests, he has definitely limited his market to 2 teams, and one of them will probably sign the other guy, so it will be one team, and neither are dumb enough to bid against themselves, so it might make sense for him to sign where he would rather be.

I thought almost all the players made a huge mistake waiting for better deals. But stupid San Diego may have just validated this approach so that in future offseasons the same thing happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The tax issue is not correct as they pay taxes in the state they play. All home games are CA txes but playing in MO is MO taxes. The amount of games the Padres play in CA is a whole more than the White Sox play there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) We really need Arenado to extend, just so we can see an exact price point for Machado. What teams realistically would suddenly jump back into this if Nolan was removed from the board? The Yankees would suddenly be willing to allocate $250~300 million? It would also put some additional pressure on Hahn and JR to weigh the magnitude of missing on Manny and then having to fight tooth and nail over Rendon or Bogaerts.

Capital G Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 LOL at 200 extra million not changing your life. You keep saying "if he does not spend the money it wont change his life". How do you know he wouldn't? He could think big picture and invest in businesses. He could have plans for it for his children, grandchildren, etc. Even if he is not the one spending it, it could give him piece of mind about his children which would change his life.

Roughneck Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 23 minutes ago, Sleepy Harold said: Heyman is a dope. His market is not likely to improve when Harper goes off the board; quite the opposite. Discounting the Giants (Harper doesn't want that park) and maybe the Nats getting back in, his suitors are the same suitors as Machado. Maybe the Sox get antsy and decide to give Manny an extra $50 mil after Bryce signs. But more likely, Machado just loses an interested team and therefore more leverage. Right now the Sox are bidding against the Phillies and this boogieman of the Padres maybe wanting to spend. Remove the Phillies from that equation and it's just the Sox vs. the Padres scarecrow.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 36 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: Good for you. But it wouldn't be irrational to take $200 million if you would be much happier somewhere else. The fact of the matter is, your life moving forward isn't going to be any different from a financial standpoint once those 7 years are over. And you may have been happier those 7 years. Either way, his family and offspring will be well taken care of. And the difference between what Manny can get from the White Sox if Lozano wanted to wrap this up today, vs. what he could get from the White Sox if Lozano wants to drag this out until the middle of March, isn't significant at all. Dude this is complete nonsense. 200 million dollars is a shit ton of money even if you have 200 million. Athletes have gone broke making more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenado is not going to sign and extension before Manny signs. He has another year left and no reason to jump the gun. If he's re-upping with the Rockies, he will let Manny set the market, then sign a deal for slightly more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but as other mentioned, the Padres will have 19 road games a year between LAD and SF. Throw in an interleague Angels series every few years, too. So instead of 50%, it's 62.5%.
