Would seem that no one is close to a deal with what is said in this statement.
-
isn't this good news?
-
and honestly, if they don't feel anyone is worth more than 25 million a year, what is their plan in case the rebuild goes well and they have to pay these guys in free agency?
-
after trying to get him last offseason and then spending 13 million on non-factors to help recruit him as well
-
So if all this is true (I give posters the benefit of the doubt), the only way for the Sox to sign Manny is if the market total collapses and they're the last one standing at 25 mil?
-
Super
-
so in your view, 8/250 is total BS?
-
All this 7/175 nonsense is doing then is opening the door for a "mystery" team to talk themselves into pursuing Machado and possibly matching the Sox and being a more desired franchise for him.
-
yeah if that's truly how they are going about this, they're not getting Manny (and quite frankly, might as well sell the team).
-
How does it contradict it?
-
I will say that if we hear in the media that the Sox are upping their offer, that will make me think they're close to signing him.
-
Given the way reporting has gone, we'll probably see one soon that says "Sox camp hasn't talked to Machado in 2 weeks" or "Sox having serious discussions with Moustakas".
-
I really love the point badger made about Lozano saving face by pointing to how he got a team to raise their offer from 175 to 250, for example. And yes, I trust Hector Gomez above these other guys.
-
Sox just trying to raise doubts in Phillies mind about how much to offer? That’s only thing that makes sense.
-
Hahn will say they’re trying to add premium talent, and first response to him will be “why is your offer so low?”
-
If Manny hasn’t decided by next weekend and 7/175 is still the rumor, people will be very angry at soxfest
-
14 for 1 is a lot if you are going to half-ass the bid
-
Cast doubt in the mind of Phillies that Lozano is being truthful to them. If he says Sox are offering 250 and media reports 200, then maybe Phillies don’t think they have to go as high as Lozano says they do.
-
Shouldn’t that make you think that there’s no way they could really get him for 25 mil a year? Nightengale is only reporting what the Sox want out there.
-
Because???
-
Anyone else hear that Nightengale is saying our offer is under 200 now? Saw something on twitter referring to him be on xm radio
-
Vibe I'm getting from that AG Sports Network account is that he thinks the Sox get Machado.
-
these are either plants or Machado is very close to signing somewhere besides Philadelphia
-
Is Jerry doing these negotiations from his box at Solider Field?
-
And then Alonso and Jay tear their jerseys off and reveal they actually signed with the Yankees
