Make the opt out after four years only if we haven’t made the playoffs at all in the first four years. Has anything like that been done before?

joejoesox Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I was going to guess after three years. Hoping there isnt one but I doubt that's realistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 You'd have to imagine they would have to give one, just in case the rebuild falls flat he can eject and go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping there isnt one but I doubt that's realistic Yeah i would say probably after year 3 or 4. It would probably have to be at least a 10-year deal to not have one I would imagine.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself before we sign Manny but I think someone like Marwin makes sense. Keuchel at the right price (steal Territory) would make sense. Ottavino, to create a super bullpen would be my next move Edited January 10, 2019 by Orlando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Lots of smoke toward the end of the day yesterday. Who knows how much of it is true. The "Yankees are still in it" talk seems a little weak. I'm thinking they truly are out of it. Sox need to offer the most money, that's it. Get him signed and then make a couple more moves. Then this team is a lot better going into 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) 2B-Moncada CF-Jay RF-Harper 3B-Machado DH-Abreu LF-Jimenez 1B-Alonso C- Castillo SS-Anderson This lineup would be pretty sweet!!

I'm wondering if Machado's camp told the Yankees that if they can't offer X amount that they're out of the running or if the Yankees decided the cost was too high to pursue him? Either way, things are looking better today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 If we somehow landed Machado and Harper I would go: Moncada, 2B Machado, 3B Harper, RF Abreu, DH Jimenez, LF Alonso, 1B Anderson, SS Jay, CF Castillo, C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'd go Harper 2-hole for sure with that OBP. Possibly swap Jay and Moncada depending on how Moncada is doing (and Jay for that matter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They believe Bradley really turned a corner offensively at the end of last year...and love pairing him with Betts defensively in CF and RF.
