Yep, I don't think Harper ends up in Philly and I think after that the Phillies are going to go hard after Manny if he's still there.

If the Sox can't position Machado well enough for him to be an ~average defender at SS, that's an indictment of their front office, analytics department, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 10 minutes ago, bmags said: 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. The Phillies signing both puts them above the luxury tax threshold. Maybe they move Franco and get slightly under, but they’d be pretty hamstrung in terms of other additions the next two years. I don’t see it happening.

Chicago White Sox Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I find it interesting that article completely dismisses the Nationals as a viable threat for Harper despite rumors the past couple weeks suggesting they might be the favorite. Just goes to show how much bullshit is out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It would be nice to know what the offer is. If it's 7/low 200s (which is what I believe the more respected sources have said), the Sox may lead, but I doubt he'd sign for that anytime soon.

Princess Dye Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Nightengale is often hated here but honestly when you look back at the thread of tweets he did about our Cespedes offseason, he was vaguely on the money I'm sure he's doing agents' bidding all the time, but these guys trade the plant info for the ability get overall narrative in the end and break news in the endgame. So you take a guy like Nightengale and follow him for the whole arc as opposed to expecting every tidbit to be 100% true along the whole journey there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the same source (Nightengale) who says the Sox are "expected" to sign him also said 3 days ago that the Sox offered him a contract of "about $200 million" Maybe they increased, will increase.....
