Players could just chose other teams even if we offered the most. I can’t see why the Sox would want to go after mega deals unless it was for Arenado or pitchers like Sale. Rick Hahn has to say something. He isn't going to no comment and he can't say that he deserves to be fired if he doesn't sign one of them. Even if the statement is BS he has to say it.

teorey23 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The Sox are going to get Machado it’s just a matter of how much and when. Every Yankee “source” specifically NYYNEWS.com are just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks. If this were the White Sox of lets say 5 years ago I’d give them no chance in hell to actually get Machado and I’d say he’s only using the Sox as leverage but that’s not the case. He would like to join the Sox but wants to get paid, none of us can blame him. When it’s all said and done the deal is gonna get done and he’ll be playing 3B for the Sox next season. Bank on it, I don’t have sources I’m not an insider but just hang in there Sox fans it’s gonna happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be different if the Sox were on the cusp of winning, but we aren’t there yet. The Sox would have to offer way more money to lure them here. That’s why the whole 7/$175MM scares me. I don’t think the team can afford to lowball anybody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Joc is on hold til Machado is assured. Our entire decision to have a slight win-now feel in Year 1 is based on Manny. It's the domino that has to fall. Then we probably see Joc via trade and maybe a starting pitcher in some form or another, and that's the roster. If no Manny, no Bryce, then we just go win-later and pick up another Madrigal type in the next draft. This would be fine too, as Astros and Cubs fans have found.

If the Dodgers really are insistent that they need to move this player, they are unlikely to sit there waiting several weeks for the White Sox to make up their mind.

I never understand this logic. Its cold for a month maybe during the season? Weather is not a deciding factor for a baseball player who plays 140 games all during the summer. Then live in Florida or Arizona like most baseball players in the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes two to complete a deal. If Sox have the high offer they hold the cards. Meanwhile the Dodgers offseason is wrapping up and the OF glut is to be decreased but that's not a panic need. We've worked w/ them before and the relationship seems good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile the Dodgers offseason is wrapping up and the OF glut is to be decreased but that's not a panic need. We've worked w/ them before and the relationship seems good. It is simply unbelievable that the offers discussed in this thread are the high offer. The excuse other people gave for why the Dodgers would accept such crappy offers is that the Dodgers might not want to trade him to someone they could contend with next year. That the Dodgers would wait several weeks to accept such crappy offers, when the rest of the league should come forward with better offers for this player? Implausible. If we were putting up a strong offer, led by someone like Basabe or Dunning, the Dodgers would absolutely wait for that. Fulmer and Bummer and a minor 3rd piece and the Dodgers are going to wait for that? No they won't. One of those players they might get by the deadline this year if the White Sox need a roster spot. If the Dodgers would have actually done that and the White Sox were ready to trade away anyone at all, the White Sox should have gotten it done. The offers in this thread that people are so enthused about, it didn't make sense that the Dodgers would accept something so weak for this player, and then on top of that White Sox would hesitate on completing it to wait on another deal and the Dodgers will just accept that? Just not plausible. No one in this thread has been willing to part with someone from our strong prospects for him. If the White Sox aren't willing to part with that they they don't have the high offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk how reliable he is. If this is true, I’m done. “ From the beginning of this offseason's pursuit of both Machado and Bryce Harper, the feeling here was the Sox were not going to be able to match the expected $300 million-plus offers both 26-year-old superstars are expected to bank. That feeling has not changed, even with the White Sox apparently narrowing their sights down to just Machado. The Padres are now reportedly in on the four-time all star, and they have plenty of money to make a deal. So do the Sox, but there were some rumblings Friday that they're not willing to go $30 million or more a season for Machado.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will, however, believe that the FO is a bunch of jackasses if they miss out on Machado and the reason turns out to be because they didn't go bigger in terms of $$. That is an unforgivable sin at this stage and one that would eliminate me from this fan base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t spend 13 million on recruiting tools just to act cheap. I would gladly just take back every mediocre move they’ve made this offseason and just add that money to Manny.
