Can’t wait for Hahn to act like he put out a competitive offer at SoxFest when any fan knows that a 7 year offer barely over 200 mil is a joke I said the same thing the day the Dodgers and Reds made that trade and everyone lost their minds but this is a lot of past tense for someone who hasn't picked a team yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Machado for the quoted prices with Pollock and even Keuchel make a LOT more sense than Machado AND Harper for the Phillies. Somehow the offer has gone from $240 to 250 to even $265ish down to below $200 million, lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is almost ridiculous watching people freak out over tweets. The Sox will not regressive bargin - offer less than they have. That is a recipe for agents shunning them in future. They are working on this as we speak. Quit freaking out. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The Sox wouldn’t be in the running to sign Machado if their offer was 7 years and less that $200M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know thats just a joke, but I wonder if they do want to try to get the deal done before the cubs convention. We talk a lot about maximizing exposure from this signing. If we do it during the cubs convention it might take away a bit from them, but it would also likely take away from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see them come off the 7 years and push up to 8/$275 or so. There’s slowplaying and there’s lowballing.

I'm laughing at all this because for every rumor there is an opposing rumor that follows like clockwork. Later tonight someone will post a tweet with Levine spewing what Nightengale just said.

Chicago White Sox Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I will say this, I’ve never been more confident we land a whale as the Sox would be committing franchise suicide by putting it out there we never made a serious offer. And 7/$210M (or less) definitely fits that billing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had it up to hear with the lack of transparency within our front office. First Eloy and now this What did you want them to say about Eloy? "Yes, we are manipulating his service time to make sure he doesn't get as much money." Sounds like a great way to get sued. And what is "now this" referring to exactly? The private negotiations that the team is having? What do you want them to say, "Hey Phillies, we are offering 8/240, can you guys beat that?" That's not how negotiating works. If you were able to take a second to actually think about what you are reading and WHY someone told whatever reporter about it, its pretty easy to make logical conclusions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
