Lozano has a fiduciary duty to Machado to get the best offer possible. He can't just drop the Sox because he's personally pissed unless Machado tells him to.
But this definitely doesn't help.
I get that. But the chicken little stuff because the Phillies are rumored to have offered a contract is just ridiculous. We don't even know if it's true, or how much money was offered.
This is purely speculation, but I'm thinking that we're going to see a lot of movement this weekend for both Machado and Harper. My guess is Machado to the Sox and Harper to the Phillies.
Definitely huge if true. It's been speculated a number of times that Philly was Machado's least preferred destination.
Stroke that check and get it done, Sox.
