GM Klentak was contacted by Machado’s agent to inform him of this. Sounds like there’s going to be a deal unless someone ups the offer 5:04 PM - 17 Dec 2018 It's a fake account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, look at the date and time. You don't think that already wasn't discussed here? Edited December 18, 2018 by soxfan2014 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to print lines when the "casino" (BR) doesn't stand to lose money. Odds are via Bookmaker EU which is a real website at the very least.

Chisoxfn Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I think the fact that the Sox are first in these meetings can be a scary proposition as usually that enables other teams to match, etc. Makes you wonder how much you are being used for leverage vs. not (especially in MLB where players tend to take their time to sign vs. NFL or NBA where you want to be at the front of the list). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In college recruiting, programs usually like having the last visit, but I’m not sure it really matters here when big money is involved. There’s also no max contracts like the NBA where everyone is forced to offer similar deals. If he gets a better offer later in the week, it’s not like we wouldn’t get a chance to top it unless he never really had any intention of coming here in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought Heymam/Rosey/Nightengale didn’t put something out from the Sox. Clearly a strategy by the Sox, but not sure what it is.
