If there's no one else in the bidding, then they have to put together a good enough bid to win, they don't have to win by $75 million - that is money that could be used elsewhere. So, there's benefit to being frugal to a point, and that point is where it's a threat to lose the player. And what is that point. The Sox can stick with its 7/210 offer (or whatever it is), wait there until someone tops it, Manny remains dissatisfied and won't sign, then, whoosh, a contender offers him 1/$40 or 2/$75. What's the Sox next move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that if he views the long term offers as modest. (of course, I don't know what the Sox offer actually is; but if it is 7/$210, I would view that as modest). And I am of the belief that the Sox need to beat the competition by 20% or so to secure his services. Actually if he doesn't sign with the Sox, I hope he takes a short term deal. We don't really need him this year, and the Sox major league club may be more presentable a year from now and thus not require a 20% bonus or so many FOMs. Edited January 16, 2019 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be absolute idiocy to take a short term deal that was worth only $5 million more per season while sacrificing $200 million in guaranteed money. If it came down to something like that, he'd insist on an opt out, not a 1 year deal. Twist an ankle, pop the wrong tendon next year and lose out on $160 million?

They just need to hit Manny's number. No sauces but i think he picks Sox over Phillies all things being the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 This is the year for Manny to get his long term deal. If he waits a year he will be competing with Arenado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
