    Machado signs with Padres 10/300

    Just my two cents, but maybe that mannyjr99 guy was onto something with his post and the news that broke overnight.

    He wishes manny goodluck on the 2019 season and congrats yesterday evening bc he knows manny officially signed (under secrecy). Announcement tomorrow or whatever? 

    Seems to make sense with the massive smoke all of a sudden.

    So Phillies spend all day with Harper? This could be something? The “congrats/good luck in 2019 season remark” is interesting. Maybe he will he signing with the white Sox on the 13th (his jersey number). God I just want this to end...

    If the race is down to the Phillies and White Sox, Philadelphia is likely to offer the most money, though they haven’t offered the $300 million deal many predicted, according to reports.

    Should Machado chose the Phillies, expect a deal to get done involving Maikel Franco, potentially to the San Diego Padres. They’ve had a long-standing interest in him, and they’re reportedly on standby with Mike Moustakas.

    Philadelphia also has a meeting with Bryce Harper in Las Vegas on Saturday. It’s hard to imagine the Phillies making a trip to Vegas if they know Machado is in their back pocket, and signing both players is very unlikely.

    While a decision may be coming soon, it’s still unclear who has the lead in the bidding. Levine reported that momentum is building for the White Sox. On the other hand, Philadelphia is preparing another offer for Machado, which should get closer to his reported asking price of $300 million. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com also reported that the Phils are ramping up their efforts for Machado.

    Levine pointed out that Philadelphia is likely willing to go 10 years for Machado, several more years than the White Sox are willing to. He also noted that Machado is receiving offers between $25 and $28 million annually. At that annual salary, no one will reach his $300 million asking price.

    Interesting that article is from 2 days ago. I wonder if the info is stale. Seems like every few hours there is new info on this. Praying it ends this weekend.
