Look at Ray Ray Run

Anderson isnt moving from Short.

White Sox have lost 100 games 19 years in a row but they have a logjam of talent in the IF and OF jajajajaja.

Machado is from Florida.

I mean he walked 50 guys in like 120 innings. That's not very good command in college.

White Sox are getting Harper and machado secretly so that both player can fuck the other out of getting more money... its weird but life is sometimes.

get ready!!!

Manny machado grew up in the USA.

He doesn't know the team, he's guessing there, but he does seem to have some Harper edge.

I'll go 8 for 265 then, just to not be the same.

Lol is that what he predicted?

Manny will sign for 8 years, 262 million. That's my final prediction.

Kiley McDaniel is clueless? What?

Yes, so if Bryce signs with a team no one thinks he'll sign with... Also, Boras isnt signing first. Baseball is allowing agents to run their game. Boras and Lozano trying to show who has bigger balls and is better at their job. It's a big waste of time. You are worth what people are willing to give you whether or not you like. That's the way it is.

I would love to know how Bryce signing first would help Manny. Heyman is the biggest agent pole smoker in the industry.

Dude this is complete nonsense. 200 million dollars is a shit ton of money even if you have 200 million. Athletes have gone broke making more.

Lol this is truly amazing. It is obviously not team preference. For anyone thinking rationally, this is 100% about money and setting a market for other free agents and making sure they maximize their earnings.

None of this matters. Jeeze. Manny didnt not sign because he hates Chicago hot dogs. He didnt sign because his agent hasnt determined that the offer they have received from any team is good enough for their expectations. He didnt sign with the Yankees for supposedly 220 million, so he hates them too? Free agency isnt like finding a girlfriend - it's like finding a sugar momma. Manny doesnt give a fuck how pretty the white Sox or any team is. Manny cares about getting the most money possible with the ome major contract he is likely to sign. People are making this personal when it's 100% business.

Arrogance maybe. They had fixed and worked with so many young arms and reclamation projects they probably thought they could get the most out of him.

NBC owns the same amount as the white Sox- 20%. The ownership of said channel was NEGOTIATED last TV deal. It was part of the offer. If anything it makes a stronger case for my argument. Owning a stake in the network is even more valuable than a regular deal. And yes, I knew that.

No. That is not how it works Jack. I cant go to NBC and say I have a killer softball league based in Chicago and since so many people are already signed up for the channel, I should get a cut of that to broadcast my league there because I'm in Chicago too. They pay you based on what you bring viewer wise, not based on their subscription total. That would be absurd.

No. NBC doesnt just give money away because they get money from the cable companies. They sign deals based on perspective eyes on that program. The white Sox TV contract had nothing to do with the Chicago Blackhawks. I have no idea where you got that idea.

Well they didnt sign a joint contract last deal so I have no idea why any of that matters. Jack this is all nonsense. Facts and stats prove it. Merchandise sales prove it. Team worth proves it. TV contract proves it. Enough dude.

Jack, I have literally proven you wrong on this already. If you think the Padres, Twins, Reds and Marlins have bigger markets (which is outrageous) then why the heck do they have TV contracts that are a fraction of the White Sox, and why are their organizations worth significantly less? Those are facts Jack. The White Sox are worth anywhere between 300-500 million more than all the teams you listed and claimed had a "bigger market." The White Sox had about 45% of the Chicago Metro area fanhood according to the NY Times study I linked prior. You say they have 25%. Serious question, why do you root for such a dreadful organization if this is how you feel? It seems odd. 25%. So 1/4 of the Chicago Market is worth 1.5 billion. According to Forbes, the White Sox are the 14th most valuable franchise in baseball, but there one of the five worst somehow. Something isn't adding up Jack.

Pal, you are losing your mind. How are they in the bottom five? Padres Twins A's Rays Marlins Reds Royals There are more, imo, but you can't argue that any of those teams are better for a player to go to. Definitely bottom 5?

The White Sox are in the 3rd biggest market in the country; of course they wouldn't provide less exposure than the Padres, Rays and A's as Jack is stating.
