He wants to reach the 300 million mark according to Passan on the radio today
-
No, that's what Lester was for them
-
This isn't saying it's happening, but something some of us have speculated on. Dan is a former sports agent with ties to the media industry.
-
agreed, and by almost all accounts, it seems like the deal would be fair and not some drastic overpay.
-
yeah, at some point you have to realize the agent is going to shop around the best offer to see if someone will top it.
-
To me, this is the most likely situation
-
Couldn't agree more. I get trying to ensure you're not bidding against yourself, but there's also a point where if you leave the door open too much for others, you risk surprises.
-
They did supposedly want Tulo to be their SS, which shows they're ok with playing Baez at 2B.
-
Not if you’re trying to say you have no money and going under the radar. You could easily keep a meeting on the down low.
-
Been waiting for Cubs to be linked to Manny. I always felt it was odd he was in Chicago for two days during his visits.
-
It’s also in the best interest of the Sox and Phillies to drive the cost up of Manny to try and make it impossible for the one of them to sign both big guys.
-
8/250 isn’t some deal too good to turn down. I can see why he’s in no rush to sign that.
-
Why not, agent tells these guys “here is where things stand”
-
Not bad, but potentially a sign this is far from over.
-
Sure seemed like a leak to Passan to get other teams to raise their bids.
-
If I had to pick the two most likely sources that would break the news, it's Passan or the Stadium twitter site
-
That seems to me like a late call to Bob from the Sox to get everyone to STFU about offers
-
And there’s the cold water
-
Well he is going to lose his family farm if the Phillies miss on both guys
-
Definite smoke but no one saying that offer is actually enough
-
Just in general, it would be an agreement discussed on twitter and then you get the morning radio buzz
-
Merkin generally seems conservative with regards to breaking rumors.
-
No way, enjoy this before a contradicting tweet comes out as part of negotiations.
-
God I love this post so much.
