Or just buy the city of Gary.

And he is still as clueless as Hector. 👀

Yes we do!

Hey guys. I hear Manny deal is closer to today than it was yesterday.

Again, why negotiate against yourself? A month from now when he's still out a job, that $40m sitting in front of him looks better and better. Im also on the record of saying they need to put pressure on him by reducing his offer everyday.

Well since no one else is bidding on his services you make the buy out team friendly.

What prohibits the Sox from front loading a contract? Let's say they do go out and get both. Heck, even one of them and pay them both $40m this year and next, knocking $80m off each players contracts. This would lower their cost in 2021 by roughly $4m per year in team obligations per player.

Today, both MM and Bryce, will sign contracts. Why am I so confident? Because by the time tomorrow is today, its already today.

Found Mannys eye black. No idea who he's signing with.

Players complaining that the market isn't right because both Manny and Bryce aren't signed are short sighted. A team that has never offered a contract above $68m has offered a contract worth at least $100m more. Why aren't players commenting on that?

If Machado does sign elsewhere, can we ever legally learn of the Sox offer? Or is that prohibited by the CBA too?

My source tells me Manny will be playing baseball and not football on his next contract.

Am I too late? Did I miss the doom and gloom or we still good? https://giphy.com/gifs/southparkgifs-l2Sq8mU5ElMCeta0w

I think this will all get wrapped up soon. And by soon I mean that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, therefore days, months, and even years is soon.

I believe that Hahn telling the media they won't land both is him getting ready to leverage this. I wouldn't be shocked if we learn that Harper and Sox have a meeting coming up should Manny not sign soon.

Can't argue these points as they are both valid but at the end of the day, it is Manny who will make the decision where he plays, not Lozano. If Lozano fails to convey to Manny that he has the best offer on the table and he needs ti take it, then that's on him.

No other official offers are on the table, right? Time to apply some pressure. Pull back the original offer and send over a lower one. Every day lower your total contract price by a million dollars. Will I be happy to land Machado? Absolutely. But I'll also be okay if we don't land him.

Im curious if they are willing to give some type of consideration (compensation) to those season ticket holders. Until 5 years ago we held four seats in section 106.

Very true. Getting over 500k views before tomorrow afternoon will be a tough feat.

Just because a few players have massive contracts doesn't mean that any player is worth that amount. Also, every team that signed those players have all been handicapped and regretted signing those high contracts, except maybe the Angles, who I have yet to hear or see anything publically that they regret it or have looked to trade him. Doesn't mean they don't though because look at his lack of production recently. Interestingly enough, the Angles were a mystery team for Pujols. https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2017/8/31/16230242/albert-pujols-angels-contract-yeeps
