Jack Parkman Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) 12 minutes ago, fathom said: Nah this is bad for the Sox. Padres clearly need a 3rd baseman still, so what do they have left out there if they don’t get Manny? It’s really odd how so few on here think Padres are a threat. I'm starting to believe the Olney/Levine number about the Sox offer may have been the accurate one. Nobody's talking about the Sox anymore as a possibility nationally besides a brief mention, so I'm thinking it is down to Philly and San Diego. They're both getting one of them, and the Sox are going to be left empty handed. A majority of posters are going to be pissed in a week or two. To be honest, Moustakas back to Milwaukee kind of telegraphs Machado to SD. Edited February 17, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that the Padres aren't a threat, I just think the Sox still have the upper hand for a number of reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesoxa6 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I'm going to laugh so hard on here when the Sox lose out on Manny to SD. Everyone in here has been downplaying them the whole time because of taxes. If the Sox offered 250 and the Padres offered 255, he'd go to the Padres all day. This front office sucks, this organization is pathetic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 What? I was told the Padres interest was just for business purposes and that they have no money. Even shown an article. This is impossible! Someone tell the Padres right now to stop talking with Manny as they have no understanding of their financial status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Man this thread is going bi polar.......if Harper deal is heating up it only makes sense to drum up the San Diego talks because without them Machado would only be left with the whitesox.....this is not rocket science guys 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we supposedly out on manny hahn would imo sign moose. This means machado made his choice and hahn is confident enough to let moose sign elsewhere Hahn would never sign Moose as a back up plan while we are still in the running to get Manny because if Manny did sign with the Sox we would also be stuck with Moose's contract. It means nothing in regards to Manny's choice other than the fact that the White Sox still have a chance at getting him.

The Padres future looks brighter than the White Sox. Far and away the best farm system in baseball. They've also shown a willingness to spend in the past. They are less of a joke than the White Sox 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
