caulfield12 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 3 minutes ago, Machado2Sox said: Funny that there are some people worried about a $35 million AAV as opposed to $30 million AAV. That’s one mediocre player off the roster, like Jon Jay for example... or any one of the countless ~$5 million dollar players the Sox have wasted money on over the years. Or $20 million on Jay/Alonso/Castillo. Or almost another $25 million on Nova/Herrera/Colome. $45 million, gone like that...all for a total fWAR of about 4-5.

bmags Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Beat thing about Rosenthal is there is a lot of intriguing info packed in that tweet you know will be fleshed out in his column. Can’t wait for tomorrow to read it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It's nice to see Rosenthal weigh in, and simultaneously confirm we are still in it. It does leave me wanting more, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) If I am reading that tweet correctly: All three teams are in on both. Sox and SD are strongest possibilities for Machado. Philly, SD and Chicago front offices all prefer Machado. Philly and SD ownership prefer Harper. Meaning JR prefers Machado?

Flash Tizzle Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 9 minutes ago, Machado2Sox said: If the Sox don’t land Machado, Rich Hahn is surely going to look like a clown. $13 million for Alonso and Jay looks fine if Machado is wearing a Sox fan but it looks like crap if Machado is a Padre. Imagine having to watch Alonso and Jay play for a Machado-less Sox team? Puke city. That’s why I’ve been optimistic of our chances. Would Hahn trade for Alonso and sign Jay as a way around paying him more....to just add 13 million in another spot? Hahn is intelligent enough to understand playing alongside friends/family doesn’t justify Machado turning down millions. For it to happen had to mean something more than Machado making demands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper is more likely to translate to dollars, Machado is more likely to translate to wins. Front Offices want wins, owners want dollars. White Sox FO and ownership seem to both agree on Machado being the best fit. That's how I understand his tweet. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
