I understad the lack of real rumors but still. been saying all along machado is waiting on harper. Only way i think he signs before is if he gets 280+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Fact I learned on Reddit: Manny Machado has now been unemployed longer than he was a Dodger. Machado was traded from the Orioles to the Dodgers on July 19th. He became a free agent on October 28th, after the World Series. That is a period of 101 days. October 28th to February 13th is 107 days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I started thinking. Problem with that logic is that Manny is better than most players, so if a team had the money to sign him, then they would sign him and kick their current option to the curb.

If that is Machado or Harper's plan that would be an absolutely idiotic plan. If my agent is telling me that's our approach I am finding a new agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not wait to see if Andujar still throws the ball in the seats, and Tulo still looks like an old man. Suddenly the Yankees might be willing to give Manny enough money to make it work. And Harper probably has a couple of scenerios like that. Some team really going for it gets a devasting injury, maybe it turns into a big expensive break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some team really going for it gets a devasting injury, maybe it turns into a big expensive break. A couple thoughts on your post: The Sox offer isn't going away, but the Phillies very well could. If they sense that they can get Kimbrel and/or Keuchel at a price that they like, they might change directions. If Tulo gets hurt, the Yankees will just find a cheap bandaid to replace him. He's only serving as a placeholder until Didi returns. If the SS/3B of a contender suffers a season ending injury during spring training, would they really respond by offering Manny a 8-10 year, $300 mil contract? Seems pretty far fetched. I personally don't think either Harper or Machado have anything to gain by waiting another month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many people have to say it before everyone understands. Manny and Harper are grasping at straws. No team will have someone get hurt and then say... well now I guess we'll spend 300 million we didnt plan on before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
