JoshPR Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 He just stated his opinion... I think he specified that. Beats chicago' writers that instead of helping and saying feel good things they put the team down.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 2 minutes ago, ChiliIrishHammock24 said: According to Quin, this means Machado is signing for $575M! What an idiot! I honestly figured we'd be locking this thread well before 150 pages, but it has taken on a mind of it's own. Also, the Machado Contract Formula does not specify years. So I guess we should add that. Entire formula, with P representing page lengths. (P/12) Years / $(P*2.5)M With 230 page numbers, Machado would be looking at $575M over 19 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I know, I'm just saying I'm surprised someone like him would be LET DOWN if they don't get both, and expect them to get both. The guy just seems pretty out of touch with reality on his take.

By the time this gets announced, a multiplier probanly wouldn’t be needed. I mean we could be up to 250+ pages before the end of the day and 280 by tomorrow easily.

Yeah I am not someone who thinks getting both would be a good team building strategy. Would start to bite fairly quick as soon as players in arb.

SoCalSox Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Idk. I've been at this point for about a week or so, where I'm fully comfortable where the Sox are with Machado. This is also coming from the same person who didn't believe heading into the off-season that they had a chance at either. The thing here is simple- Neither player has a big market. On top of that, no team is offering crazy money. I'd be very surprised & massively disappointed if the Sox don't end up with Machado & personally, I think we'll see a resolution this coming week.

I would happily add both as long as we plan on having $170M+ payrolls for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering for the past week or so if the opt outs are even worth it for the player in this free agent climate now. Granted things will probably change with a new CBA but as of right now I think I would rather have guaranteed money.
