The Sir Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 16 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: Exactly this scenario is why teams bid against themselves. It prevents another team from swooping in late and stealing the player with a slightly higher offer. Dude, it doesn't work like that. Nobody's going to steal anyone. If the Pads outbid us, Lozano will let us know before anything happens. That's just in the interest of getting the most money. So we'll get our shot. If we lose, either Manny really didn't want to play here, or we refused to beat the ultimate winning offer. There is no reason to bid against yourself, EVER. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hector going out of his way to quickly shoot down the Padres as 'untoppable' offer makes me think... who is he doing it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirdog Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Do we really think that White Sox thought it would cost $250 million or less for Manny?!? I like the silence on White Sox (other than being on the periphery of tweets and of course our own Hector Woo Woo) as they operate well this way.

Anything short of a jaw dropping deal I will be furious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Okay, Padres are "all in" according to that guy? So they don't have any higher they can go. Right? So the Sox can top the bid and win this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it should comfort you to some extent, because otherwise we should believe the Sox’s offer was somewhere between 7/$175M and like 7/$210m. If the Sox were at 8/$250M weeks ago, hard to believe they won’t go up another $20M to $30M to get this thing done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the White Sox are insistent that they will not bid against themselves...isn't a plausible scenario that the White Sox would not believe Lozano if he said they had a $280 million offer, hold firm at $250, and then find out that the offer was real when he signs elsewhere?
