They don't project Moncada to improve much.
PECOTA is traditionally EXTREMELY pessimistic/conservative.

Just a random thought, and maybe it's been mentioned before, but what if Machado was waiting for Arenado's arb deal to be announced? Seems like a really good number to counter teams with in negotiations.
Stop it. People aren't allowed to make sense on this board.

The 3rd sentence is what my guy has been saying as well, saying as soon as Harper signs, Manny to the Sox should happen very shortly after, possibly even the same day. But that seemed more speculative than anything else, and it seemed likely enough, so I didn't bother posting it.
hasn't it been assumed all along manny would sign first?

Just to make myself and some others nervous, but here's something that a pretty well-respected cubs insider posted tonight. No idea what it's about.
In no way is this guy well respected lol.

I would be shocked if Harper took an opt-out. I really get the sense he's looking for his Forever Home.
that makes zero sense. an opt out is just an insurance for the player. even if he wants to stay there he can opt out and rengotiate a better contract. he was already offerened a contract with no opt outs from the nats for 300+mm and declined it. also, boras would never let him decline an opt out. bad prescedent

you can, but usually it is multiple prospects for one major leaguer right? more OF spots to fill than the one 3b spots you have to fill.

Probably Fake news but Padres reddit love this guy. Also says SD are the favorite
The athletic said yesterday machado won't even meet with them until they put an actual offer on the table so there is currently no offer to even "up". I'll take the word of the athletic over some dude named paul crane with 1200 followers lol

Machado isn't a guarantee? He's more of a guarantee to produce consistent high level of play than Harper just by being on the field more often. If we can't trust that our overflow of OF prospects are going to produce at least 2 quality bats and above average OF defense then rebuilding is ridiculous . The Sox are in a position where they have to believe high quality prospects will produce high quality results.
I never said Machado wasn't a guarentee and I would LOVE to have him. All I am saying is that if you can get harper you can trade from prospect depth in the outfield to get another guarantee at 3b. You could not do the same if you get machado as you would need that OF prospect depth.

Except for the fact that Jimenez, Robert and Adolfo/Basabe (If you really squint) could potentially be 4 fWAR corner outfielders and the best we could project at 3B are currently Yolmer, Moncada or the ghost of Jake Burger.
but harper is a guarantee. none of those OF prospects are. with harper, you can trade from a position of strength for a 3b

I know I have been pessimistic about our front office this offseason but I have a theory. What if the Sox have wanted Harper from the start but felt like the feeling wasn’t mutual so they ramped up their pursuit of Machado. But now they have been told by Boras that Harper is considering them so they put Machados offer on ice or have refused to up it? Is this a likely possibility?
this is something they're doing simeltaneously. they're not working on one or the other. if one accepts they're offer the other missed out, it's as simple as that. there is not point for them to only work on one.

I dont see how its controversial to wish Madrigal doesn't have a major league career where he strikes out forty percent of the time.
Moncada hasn't had a career yet. He's had 1 year. Calm down bud.

They're involved but quiet. In a word, provisional. Not much the teams can do. They're waiting the agents out. They agents are running out of time.
But still more involved with manny? Or is that just what the media is pushing?

This is exactly what I was afraid of by that stupid 7/175 report floating around. It got someone's interest.
I think you're missing the biggest point of the screenshot. Manny wont even meet with SD without an offer on the table.

Nationals are actually out. Check out the history between Boras and the Nats. Nats still have good relationship with Harper. It makes business sense for the Nats to pretend to be involved as it is another suitor. More suitors helps Boras Corp and Harper. Them saying they're out hurts Boras Corp and Harper. As such, Nationals don't address their involvement in the rumors.
What would you say the White Sox level of involvement actually is with Harper?
-
From the athletic. pretty much says manny wont take a meeting without an actual offer from SD. pretty much says, in my mind, that he doesn't want to play there.

I wouldn't read too much into this. While I still think sox are in on harper, he's saying that the sox were known to have met with them. That's not new info.
per jon morosi...active suitors...

Machado signs with Padres 10/300

because Harper is the bigger commodity who is expected to get a bigger contract. he is going to make sure he gets the last contract so that it has the most years and highest AAV.
