It’s just Sullivan needing to write an offseason piece quickly. Oh I agree, which is why I feel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orioles were horrible last year, but he still ruffled a lot of feathers around MLB for demanding a position change. I would have much more of a problem with Machado insisting that he needs to play a certain position where he's not really all that good than I would with him not running out a popup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Machado was to spend several hours visiting with Phillies officials. He and his wife, Yainee, were to have lunch in a suite overlooking the field and Machado's image on Phanavision. A tour of the clubhouse and other ballpark facilities was planned. The Phillies' welcoming party included Klentak, Kapler, managing partner John Middleton, club president Andy MacPhail, assistant general manager Ned Rice, hitting coach John Mallee and bench coach Rob Thomson. Surely, there would be a give and take, with Machado asking questions about the team's direction and team officials asking about the controversial "Johnny Hustle" comments that he made in October. Dinner, at an undisclosed location, was planned in the evening and Machado is scheduled to return home to Miami on Friday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Chicago White Sox said: They have an incredibly conservative front office. Just depends how much their owner dictates things. Wait, Klentak? Conservative? Any deal this big needs major owner buy-in. But owners dictated even the Santana signing, and have been barking about being impatient and wanting to spend for a couple years now, even before this free agent class. They DO want to spend. And if the market on the second of these players falls apart to the extent that JR thinks he can afford both, the price will also be very within what the Phillies want to pay.

GermanSoxFan Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I mean, the Phillies made everyone know that they won't be outbid on Patrick Corbin only for the Nats to do exactly that. But the whole saga will drag on, and it feels like a woman you have a crush on going on dates with other guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightsOnMintSt Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Harper to the Cubs if they can move a big contract, Dodgers if the Cubs aren’t able to do that. Machado to the Yankees unless their offer is considerably below $300 million, in which case I believe the Sox land him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
