I’m wondering if this is a “don’t even think about it Yankees we will still outbid you” move.

I’ve started to adjust downward, market appears just too limited.

That’s great from Passan. I’m gonna say it ends up around 8/250-260, and the last bit is just bumping up from that 30 mill per level.

He also can only write milquetoast analysis that chalks everything up to personality and culture. He’s the Dan Pompei if baseball. He has one of the top baseball writing jobs, I think it’s okay to point out he is no where close to his peers.

Still hoping there’s no opt out on machado.

Yeah I am not someone who thinks getting both would be a good team building strategy. Would start to bite fairly quick as soon as players in arb.

This board is so weird.

Caught up to you eventually.

I feel same. Not a very smart leak otherwise. Okay. I didn’t really want both but after Parkey, would love to tear their hearts out mortal kombat style.

You don’t think offer would leak?

Funniest scenario definitely would be phils bowing out early due to Harper confidence, Sox signing machado, then Harper going to dodgers.

I only hope we find out and it’s because he’s a white Sox to be honest

I do have a question though, say something unexpected happens and Harper signs first. Mannys market at that point is the white Sox. I wonder what he gets and if Phillies really still put any heat there.

Gonna lol if they have to put Bryce in center. Anyhoo good news.

The fact that he can be so volatile really takes the shine off regardless.

It is funny how little “lessening” the punishment of signing a QO player has changed the thought process.

Please god let us be the brewers

2016 was pretty bad too.

I’ll tell you this White Sox drafting would have been way better if they just let soxtalk pick first three rounds.

Listen, this person probably worked very hard on their presentation and it was very good!

I mean Jay does seem to be nice. Manny really ought to love working with him.

LOL I will say it confirms my priors that the white Sox are extremely proud of their presentations.

I don’t negotiate 300million dollar deals but if someone was begging me for info i could be positive or negative as hell based on the communication that day even if I knew it wasn’t consequential stuff. So, anyway, If I had cool friends like apparently every other poster and they told me stuff about process I wouldn’t be surprised if they were negative in the middle of it even if I’m general things were fine.

This is beautiful.
