Lip Man 1 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Jan. 29: Many Yankees fans have spent the offseason dreaming of Manny Machado in pinstripes, and there were rumors early on that the Bronx was Machado's preferred destination, too. But that possibility remains as remote as ever, as sources tell the New York Daily News' Wallace Matthews that the Yankees still have not extended a formal offer to Machado or his agent, Dan Lozano. One source familiar with the Yankees' thinking told Matthews that New York has simply "talked in concepts" with Machado's camp, and those concepts have not topped the White Sox's offer, which is thought to be somewhere between $175 and $250 million.

He couldnt care less who his GM or owner are as long as the checks keep cashing. If it were really about money, we would have went into rebuilding a long time ago and perpetually.

Then we’d essentially be the A’s or Rays...just more cost efficient than 2013-2016, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really only been about a dozen or so? Idk maybe more? Which is something outside the box he might consider. With that in mind, all of the top talent coming up in the system certainly helps those considerations. But you're right. Money is the main consideration.

I couldn't feel more the opposite. They've made one move that I havent hated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Too many people online are focused on showing off. The Manny thread is but one example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They traded a lot of good prospects for guys with 1 year deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 All sides have been keeping the cool poker face and will continue to do so. Show no urgency, no panic, until eventually one side shows that they are beginning to cave ever so slightly. Then that’s when things will get serious.

The Sonny Gray move, solely because of the extension, is the only move that I haven't hated from them so far. It's been the only move to improve them behind 2019, which is a sunk year anyway.

shipps Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Do the Sox even want Harper? We keep hearing they have interested in both players but they seem totally invested in Manny. Either they realize Bryce is going to surely be far too expensive for them or their interest has been exaggerated just to use as a fall back in the Lozano negotiation.

GermanSoxFan Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Kinda crazy though that reports have dried up completely after Lozano's statement. Idea for a new thread title: Manny: It's tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
