Orlando Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 This reminds me so much of the Sox pursuit of Machado. Hopefully the Twins lose out like the Sox did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, since Donaldson's agent is Dan Lozano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Twins lose out like the Sox did. Given that his agent is Lazano, this feels like that scumbags bag of tricks. He lied about the peak offers (110 million), same as Machado, and now he's delaying because he doesn't have the offers I'm sure he has told his client will be out there.

There are a lot of shady agents in the sports world, but it's safe to say that Lozano is the biggest POS in the industry which is really saying something.

He’s nowhere near dominant, but he’s been pretty consistently solid. K’s and swing and miss % took a pretty big dip last year, not sure if there’s more to it than we realize? Seems like most teams avoided him for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Heyman reports that option is for $4 million and can escalate to $5 million depending on games finished in 2020.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Like I mentioned last night, I have a feeling that a mystery team is going to come in last minute and sign Donaldson with the way things are going.

Just like Machado last year. Given that the Rangers are out on Castellanos, that might be why. It could be them on Donaldson. I want Donaldson to go back to the Braves as it would completely fuck the Cubs over. There's no way in hell they're getting Robles from Washington for Bryant. Texas has been searching for a 3B since Beltre retired. Edited January 8, 2020 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldson is already probably there or above it so someone won't just "swoop" in now, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true that Minnesota only offered 80-85 mil per year and the Nats and Braves offered over 100 mil, why hasn’t Donaldson signed yet with either one of the teams than? He wants a contract for 4year/110 mil and he also stated he would like to return back to the Braves. Minnesota hasn’t even come close to that money wise and we still havent heard what the Nats and the Braves offers are even though many reports are saying they both over 100mil so I can see Lozano working behind the scenes and negotiating with another team for a contract around and/or at the same amount or higher than what he was looking for.
