At least one should be falling into our lap. Signing neither is not an option for this organization. I felt that way anyway, but yes, too many stars aligned for this to be the year. Has to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to SoxFest and I cannot imagine the backlash if they do not get one of these guys. The vitriol spewed at Hahn would be out of control. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ is also a nice change of pace piece to that lineup too though. Good signing. Man the yankees are gonna be good. That was a good signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I bet we hear a lot about a mystery team in the next few days. Machado's agent can't have only two teams bidding when one of those teams looks like its about to sign someone else. He probably is going to have one last hail mary mystery team rumor to get the last few million he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yankees are going to be a 100+ win team for several years if they can find one more starter. Really well put together team. Better add Machado + Harper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're at a stalemate perhaps for the next couple weeks. There's no downside for the Machado camp to hold out until someone meets their price, they don't have to agree to the best offer until February.

shipps Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I will say, if the Yankees trade Andujar for that SP that they need I will be pretty sure they are getting Manny again.

I have a feeling a decision will be made by the end of the weekend. He knows that he has two teams actively pursuing him, and it's unlikely that a team will suddenly show interests out of nowhere. I'm sure the offers are pretty much set. 5-10 million and a year or two may be negotiable, but the nuts and bolts of it should be set.......hopefully.

Try Free Agency again next season. This would be idiotic from his side. The situation won't be different next offseason and might even be worse - if extra pitchers hit the market teams could chase those. The White Sox or Phillies could bow out. He should at the very least lock in the mutli year deal that leaves him with hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank for the rest of his life. If he wants a chance out of that - put in an opt-out after the 2022 lockout/strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOnMintSt Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Andujar, Tulo, DJ, Didi, and Torres all on the roster already. Starting to feel more optimistic. Really seems like it’s starting to be Harper to the Phillies and Machado to the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
