But really, there is a better chance the Cubs move to Rosemont after they are done renovating than that happening. We agree on this one. The Sox should not be outbid by the Pirates.

"If" that was to happen the only way the White Sox could get a pass from the fans is if Manny signs with another ballclub for around 9 years and $350 million.

BigSexy23 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Pirates fans got so mad when I told them they should rebuild. No way they are going to be better than the Brewers, Cards, and Cubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FT35 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Anyone think our supposed offer would increase if we knew of an actual team who has outbid us? If true, think it's a perfectly priced offer that no one else seems to have beaten. I'm starting to think it's the current market value for Manny Machado (plus a little room to bump up if there's actually another team willing to beat it).

RTC Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The strange thing is that not only has any Manny chatter gone dead, but it seems like all noise about Harper, Keuchel, Ottavino, and Kimbrel went silent as well the last week or so. And not just relative to the Sox, but in general. It's feels like Thanos snapped his fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if he really did want to sign with the Sox why wouldn't he have already? I get holding out for higher offers, but if Lozano is still seeking north of $300 million I highly doubt any team jumps to those heights merely by waiting. The entire free agent market seems to be in a holding pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Lozano sent out a release last week that pretty much guaranteed that there wouldn’t be any news or leaks about Machado until he signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the White Sox are in a take it or leave it position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
