Swingandalongonetoleft Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Selfishly hope it's the Phillies. Whoever it is, I hope they re-sign him to end any chance of Machado being a Cub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever it is, I hope they re-sign him to end any chance of Machado being a Cub. If anything, you should hope it isn't the Phillies because that's the team he'd most likely re-sign with, eliminating any chance of us getting him. He isn't signing with the Cubs. He probably won't sign with us either but we'll at least make him an offer, unlike the Cubs who can't afford him, have no place for him, and would probably be more interested in Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yeah, there is that... I just can't see the Sox throwing that kind of money at anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did with A-Rod and Tanaka (not 300+ but still >>> Abreu's 68), and they have an almost comically low payroll for next year, so I'm at least confident that we'll be one of the interested teams. Everything the front office has said on the matter has been an acknowledgement that they know free agency spending is a crucial step in the rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If you are a white sox fan holding out hope, not sure you could pick a better destination than the dodgers where he is most likely a mercinary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I don't think Machado to the Dodgers does anything to hurt our chances of signing him next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Nightengale says it’ll be announced tomorrow that Machado is indeed headed to LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) The offer I've seen from the Phillies is Maikel Franco, JP Crawford, and Adonis Medina. Guessing here, but I bet the Dodgers offer is Diaz, May, and another guy Edited July 17, 2018 by GGajewski18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxnfins Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Plot twist he’s definitely going to us for Jordan Guerrero, Eddy Alavarez, and Trey Michaelczewski... because the O’s are weird like that and are shady whenever they hear “medicals” 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 If these deals are indeed true, the Orioles did themselves a big favor by better on holding on to Machado to the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed -- all these sound steeper than what I'd think was reasonable. I guess that's the beauty of a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a 3rd team being involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, it doesn't make any sense for Machado not to become a free agent unless the Dodgers blow him out of the water with an offer.

I meant extend in the off-season. So I guess re-sign. They went under the luxury tax number this year. They'll definitely sign a Harper or Machado.
