Southwest Sider Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I wonder if Lozano is desperate for a huge payday again. Been awhile since the Pujols contract... given the deadspin article, unless he has changed he likely could have blown through most of that money by now.

It was pretty funny. He despises it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm complaining, but Lozano probably became who he thought JR would love to deal with. A professional negotiator. By all means, Lozano may no longer be a sleaze, but I think he does know the White Sox are his best chance at getting his next big payday, which unfortunately for him means dealing with JR. He may secretly hate working with JR, but he has no choice and has to act the role necessary to get paid. /tinfoilhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 If the Sox sign Manny, lets all pitch in and send JR a fruit basket. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 And it all comes down to one thing. When the rubber meets the road who blinks first. This is all part of a complex ritual. If the Sox know they have a chunk of dough to play with they can act coy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he still goes to the Yankees, it was because the other teams, including the White Sox, failed to offer him enough money. It's pretty simple. It's not calling them cheap, it's saying they didn't offer enough. I have to agree. I hope that Machado signs with the Sox, but if he doesn't it won't be the first time I have been disappointed as a White Sox fan and I am sure it won't be the last. BUT, I sure hope the Sox get it done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did. I'm not 100% sure why though. Looks like his K/9 dropped by a full point and he gave up more HR/9 than normal. Just turned 30 though. I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on him or Brad Boxberger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
