Flash Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Might be time to change the dynamic and play offense. If we believe the Yankees are out and the 'mystery team' is a negotiating tactic, it would appear to boil down to Philly or Sox. What if we put forth our final, final offer (okay to publish it) and a 48 hour deadline to accept or decline. Make MM and his agent confront the possibility that the market could shrink to a universe of one (Philly) and even they might be 'iffy' dependent on Harper situation. Its starting to feel like we are being played and its not obvious they have negotiating leverage. Lets stop being patsies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) At the bottom of Nightengale article, he basically says Sox are expected to sign Machado. On phone, otherwise, would have copied and pasted his language. Edited January 13, 2019 by maggsmaggs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo8 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 i dont think sox care as much harper as much now then back in las vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Gload Fan Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) So if we magically set up and announce we are meeting Bryce next Saturday would the narrative change to us being the favorites because we would be the most recent team to be with him? Would we be the flavor of the week? Not that I dont agree that they are the favorites to sign him, just the reasoning of "they met for 5 hours!" just is funny to me.

Sockin Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I would feel good about that article if it were anyone other than Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 So Bob is saying Harper will sign with Philadelphia and Machado will sign with us? That means Harper will sign with us and Machado will sign with Philadelphia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I do have a question though, say something unexpected happens and Harper signs first. Mannys market at that point is the white Sox. I wonder what he gets and if Phillies really still put any heat there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Very good news if Harper signs with Philly, but I'm always weary of a mystery team swooping in, until Machado actually signs the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Just to amuse myself. 1b Abreu/Yonder 2b Moncada 3b Machado SS Anderson C Wellington OF Eloy and Dogshit SP Gio/Lopez/Rodon/Nova/Dogshit BP Decent Hm. Would want the team to add Harper (or I guess pollock) as well and find one more SP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It will be cool having Machado and Moncada in the same line up. Could think of some good songs with those names. A long with Yonder, Yoan and Yolmer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
