For those that don't want to read it, they offered him 7/$245M including this season. So basically a 6 year $219M extension after the $26M he will make this season.
I don't think he's going to take that.
that's an AAV for those 6 years at 36.5. he'd be CRAZY not to take it with the state of free agency today imo.

what tweet?
I think he misspoke saying "tweet". It was a post on this board about "walking slowly towards the door" which was in reference to the door being open.

I think that after the Manny situation anyone with sources is laying low. Sox fans don't need any more letdowns. I mean did you see how the fan base reacted to Rick, Kenny and Jerry (Rightfully so). I think its good that the FO is laying low. Odds are the Sox don't sign Harper but you never know until its a done deal.
Positive Spin: Its really cool to see how many Sox fans on here that really care about the direction of the team. Refreshing since I'm constantly surrounded by Cubs fans in the nw suburbs.
I very much get that. I'm just greedy lol.

@iamshack per previous chats on the Machado board, I understand why you don't go overboard with sharing info, protecting sources, etc BUT you can't dangle a carrot like that and not give a little bit more lol

Really crazy that Bob Nightengale and Bruce Levine are the only ones reporting that.
same people peddling the incorrect 175mm deal.

“The Chicago White Sox, who met Harper earlier in this winter and offered Manny Machado an eight-year, $250 million deal, no longer are interested.”
🤬
If I have to try and be an optimist, this would definitely fit in with the "stealth mode" idea. If they want people to believe they're out they would definitely feed that to the mouth piece that is Bob Nightengale.

wow he’s still not at 300?
top 300? man, this just makes it the perfect situation for the White Sox to be for Bryce Harper what the Padres were for Machado. Give him the 330ish over 10 that he wants and END it. He's worth that and more to the White Sox.
That being said, it makes too much sense for it to happen.

Hahn just said on am1000 they are not against opt outs. Bruce strikes again.

I know it's a Longshot after today, but what are the chances the plan all along was to sign both and if one didn't bite on the smaller offer they'd go all I on the other? Even if they did sign both at smaller than market deals it would have been 500mm. Rabbit seems to think they thought signing both was possible. If they were willing to spend 500mm on two why not 350 mm on 1?

If Rabbit is to be believed; they need to shift and just throw crazy money at Harper.
That's the thing with this tweet by rabbt. If he believed they were willing to pony up for both, even if it was at their reduced price it would have been a minimum of 500 million. If they were willing to do that, why wouldn't they be willing to pony up 350mm for harper? It's hard to believe after today, but maybe the plan all along was to try and get both and if one doesn't bite on the smaller deal go all in on the other?

if they're willing to go 350 million total to machado, turn around and guarantee that amount to the bigger fish.
