Instagram fooled us

Social media confuses me

what does this post mean?

Could mean nothing. Could mean everything.

Depends what kind of mood you want to be in today.

Damn. Gold glove right-fielder w/ .800+ OPS. Great deal.

If true, they must just really not like Machado. Otherwise you could just sign him now.

That's my thought. An Arenado extension is going to look pretty similar to the Machado contract, with fewer prime years.

This amount is going to keep getting lower and lower until they're only offering him Jell-O for life and Trident Layers.

What you hearing bucket?  Please give us something to run with.

I think his source here might be common sense.

The general consensus - as far as I can tell - is that if the Phillies fail to land Harper, the Nationals will is that Washington is the next most likely landing spot for Harper after the Phillies.

I wonder how much that plays into the Phillies preference (Harper vs. Machado) if signing both is not a realistic option.

Twas the night before Machado, when all through the thread;

Not a poster was stirring, they'd all gone to bed.

 

Bob Nightengale with his smoke and the local news stations;

Had prepped all us Sox fans for more negotiations.

 

When out of the blue there arose such a clatter.

I went straight to my news feed to see what was the matter.

 

I searched for Machado and sorted by top.

Excited and nervous to see what would drop.

 

When to my wondering eyes did appear?

But $250 million for a term of eight years!

 

With a crafty, young GM so lively and quick;

I knew in a moment he must be Saint Rick.

 

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

 

He spoke not a word but went straight to work.

And as the contract was signed, he gave me a smirk.

 

He sprang back to the Rate, to his team gave a whistle.

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

 

But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight;

Merry Machado to all, and to all a good night!

Oh no. In my opinion you stay in it as long as possible and throw the highest offer to both of them. Unfortunately I feel we may have to over pay. Not my $$ though.

TBH I'd be willing to throw in a couple bucks.

Used to write for Barstool about the Yankees:

 

Curious what most aggressive means if they're not the most money. Contract is in all caps?
