He's a big shot in the financial industry, so he could easily know someone/something

BTW, I'm saying this before any decision is made, but I think Machado to the Yankees would be a total disaster. The NY papers are already critical of his hustling issues, and the narrative will surely continue if he signs there.

Reminds me of when Larry King thought Q was going to the Dodgers

He's a Yankees fan I believe, as he lives in New Jersey

Likely to be even more than that after incentives.

Maybe I’m being naive, but I feel like he will make up his mind by the end of the weekend.

The fact it wasn’t exciting or dramatic is a good thing

I bet they fly in ARod also

There’s virtually no way there aren’t reports coming out of his Thurs meeting saying the Phils are going to offer stupid money.

I know a few have said it but I think the certainty of the deal would help in negotiations. I do think it's interesting that Rosenthal kind of broke this news last week, as it was clearly presented to Harper.

You would think they'd have a good idea of incoming revenue instead of any uncertainty.

So we’re trading Rodon, Rutherford and Dunning?

oh it's there, especially with Harper

this guy is very legit

It goes back again to a college recruiting visit....each visit is amazing and each team thinks they'll get him. I can't wait for the term "silent commit" to be used this week.

I'm still wondering if he has a meeting with someone tomorrow (Mets, Brewers, Cubs, Cardinals?)

yes, I would be very surprised if it's over by now
