CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I guess a Jay/Engel platoon could work: LF - Eloy CF - Engel/Jay RF - Palka Tilson is probably a goner if this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Still just offer the most money. These type of moves probably don't move the needle much. Alonso one guaranteed year and I doubt Jay gets more than 2, probably 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 He’s not married to Manny’s sister or cousin - so that means he isn’t worthy of our uniform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If adding a few of his buddies for a year gets him here, you do it. If it doesn’t work, you look like clowns in 2019, but there is minimal long-term harm. Oh absolutely.  It’s just a hilarious strategy, doesn’t mean I don’t like it.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 So when do we announce Manny's wife as our fifth starter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If they don't get Machado, all these moves will look so foolish but at least they tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Late in game: Jay shifts over to RF, Engel comes into CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Â Â Also, would Jon Jay rat out Manny for any misdeeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty funny, but if you look at it from Manny’s perspective, if the offers aren’t nearly as high as you expected, you might as well try getting to play with two of your best friends out of the deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This guy fucking sucks. It was ridiculous when we went out and got Yonder to recruit Manny. That's some whack ass shit. Now it's just downright clown-style. Jon Jay SUCKS. Sure, if it gets us Manny than whatever. But if this, in any way, signals that we are out on Harper than fuck the Sox. Holy fucking christ does Jon Jay suck. 34 year old that batted 235 last year ew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that signal the end of Harper lol Jon Jay won't block Bryce fucking Harper (granted it's always been unlikely they would hand out 2 huge contracts).

Heads22 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Googling "manny machado friends" also brings up  Matt Kemp Steve Pearce Jonathan Schoop Albert Almora Jr.  In case anyone wondered where our next move might be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 We've added: Alex Colome, Kelvin Herrea, Jon Jay, Ivan Nova, James McCann, Yonder Alonso....  What an off season of shit so far. Couldn't get a more broken, average (or below) group.

Soxbadger Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Its just a coincidence the Sox like these guys. I mean so what Machado's random cousin was hired to be assistant gm. He was the best man for the job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This would be our most interesting acquisition of the off-season, if we complete it. Fills an actual hole on this team, assuming he can be passable in CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
