Dick Allen Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 This is good news. He is taking the best deal. So we will know if the Sox were serious, or just excited that a player would consider signing with them if they paid him a boatload of money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I just don’t see Machado in SD. Sox still have 50/50 chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes good for Manny for taking the best deal when it comes. Sox wasted 13 million on garbage players to try to lure him to this shit show of an organization and won't even be willing to be the highest bidder for the guy.

Chicago White Sox Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Just now, Baron said: No idea. Is it not possible that the Padres got to that 300 mark? It’s far more likely the Padres heard of low offers being out there and decided to see if they could get him on their terms. It seems incredibly unlikely they entered the process so late in the game if they were willing to pay $300M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see where anything has changed other than the Phillies seem like they will be out. Did anyone really think someone would offer more and he would still be a White Sox?

iamshack Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) I think it’s pretty interesting that other teams are being mentioned as driving these deals to their conclusions... Edited February 17, 2019 by iamshack 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Besides for getting everyone riled up, it sure seems like this is going to end in the next few days at this point. At least we got that going for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still believe they get one of these guys or has something changed for you? Seems like you've held onto the theory that they'd have to mess it up for things not to break right for them.
