Vote4Pedro Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Just now, Orlando said: Wow if this is true, it make so much sense that this is still going on. Maybe the Yankees offered 240, Machado said no, Yankees moved on and now the Sox offer is close or less and Machado is either trying to get that offer back from Ny or trying to avoid signing for less. Highly doubt he would have said no thanks to 240M with an offer the same or less than the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the highest reported Sox offer wasn't much higher than $240M. For those afraid that the Sox would have to beat a Yankees offer significantly because of Manny's desire to be a Yankee you would conclude that the Yanks are still in it or the Sox offer is pretty damn good.

joejoesox Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Sox maybe prepared for their initial offer being beaten by one or maybe two teams, a huge incentive to not bid against yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say well it's early and we feel we can do better . How long will that offer be on the table ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt in my mind that there wasn’t any other offers put out there before he met with NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Heyman is lying to push the Yankee agenda and making it seem like they had a good offer. Woah. Think this one over again my man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Didn’t Heyman report that at the time of the meeting, the Yankees were ready to talk numbers but Machado wasn’t? All I am saying is that the Yankees may have wanted to lock this thing up early. Right now 240 seems like a lot but when people were predicting 350-400, do you even entertain?

EloyJenkins Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) The heyman quote never says "offered". That my friends is why it's a non issue and they moved on.
