QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 02:15 AM) WSD is a BS artist, hasn't he gotten hmmmmm one deal correct ever? He's gotten quite a few.

Exactly what we thought https://mobile.twitter.com/barstoolWSD/stat...129145031036928

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 02:12 AM) Probably 10 with a few opt-outs. 10/325 with 5 year opt out

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 02:11 AM) For him not to go to free agency, they better be willing to pay over $30m a year. There's also value in being the only team that can negotiate a deal with him for a year. Not that much value for being only team negotiating if he's deadset on hitting free agency

At this point rather bet on Avi and hope he has a great first half of 2018

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:35 AM) Side note: He’s with Yonder Alonso’s sister Get Yonder! Sounds good and don't trade for Pedroia and all the other guys he's argued with

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:34 AM) Why in the world would the Orioles want Rutherford for Machado? Am I missing something here? If this type of trade is available, why doesn't Hahn send Kevan Smith to Washington for Harper? Exactly why none of this makes sense and why there better be an extension included because cost is going to be severe

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:34 AM) Ugh. Really hope this is about Abreu and not Machado. Saying enjoy the ride makes me think it's Manny

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:32 AM) Hypothetical here: Would you do Rutherford and someone like say, A.J. Puckett for Machado? Let’s say in a perfect world, the O’s accept this offer. Possibly but why would the Orioles do that

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:32 AM) Unless Machado is engaged/married to Renteria’s second cousin I don’t see him signing an extension. Perfect

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:31 AM) Sure, a guy later in his career who cares as much about being comfortable, not a young guy who is the 2nd biggest free agent available. And it's not like he has any previous ties here

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 02:28 AM) Clearly, by those quotes, the Front Office believes they basically have a year to recruit Machado to sign an extension. If they truly believe that, I could understand giving up some assets to make it happen. I get the idea, I just don't think it will work. They're trying to be too cute. Agreed completely. Sure you take him for a year if it costs you Spencer Adams and Basabe, but the price is going to be higher

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 02:23 AM) Call me crazy, but I’d do Rutherford & an arm like Adams for Machado without an extension. Doesn’t seem like it would be enough, but maybe the Orioles are obsessed with Blake for some reason. What's the point in adding him for one year when you aren't trying to compete?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 02:17 AM) I’m paraphrasing, because it’s behind a paywall, but he basically said it’s easier to sign a guy if he’s been around your culture and sometimes you need to take a risk. Thanks and ugh

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 02:12 AM) Look at Kenny’s quote after missing out on Ohtani and Hahn’s quotes with Fegan today. What would that be? Did read something about Hahn saying "dare to dream"

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:10 AM) I hope they learned their lesson with Samardzija (I know they were trying to compete that year, but it always seemed like they were sure they were going to get an extension done). Yep when everyone said he would never negotiate. Same thing we're hearing about Manny

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:04 AM) You have a great point, Fathom. It is only one eyeball, after all.... WSD usually goes nuts with them. So we should expect 8 eyeballs later

Getting Machado for just this year is about the most pointless thing they could do

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:00 AM) I'd guess there's a better chance this is about Abreu than Machado My opinion is he found out Sox actually put an offer in

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:55 AM) For December, I'm down for some crytic twitter entertainment, haha. Hell yeah, especially with not a lot of sports on this week

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 01:53 AM) lol. I legit was going to say all this fan base needs is a cryptic WSD tweet and then....boom

Well there goes my night https://mobile.twitter.com/barstoolWSD/stat...107991432105991

I feel with Swarzak gone that Oh will be the next Sox closer

Cardinals is my prediction for Manny

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 07:10 PM) That takes a potential Abreu player off of the table as I have to imagine a lot of their prospects are moving in that deal. Yep I bet Flaherty is involved. Rockies still seem the best fit to me
