No but I also don’t quite understand how people come across them.

Yeah this is good info. I have a hard time squaring the phillies seemingly out of nowhere ramping up on harper with them also being really close on Machado. But that doesn't mean they bail out on Machado prior to ink being dry. I don't know, but it doesn't feel like things are as wrapped up as yesterday, but that could easily be an illusion.

Fishbain made a good point that Nagy actually didn't hire anyone last year that he worked with previously, with exception of childress (perhaps was a position guy or two). Could be an interesting run.

Yesterday was more fun than today.

Okay but what does Sean Bradley say about this?

Fangio was a bad coordinator in the early 2000s too.

Well, good for him. From what I understand personality wise, steve wilks seems like he'd get along with Nagy.

WAIT WHERE IS MANNY ACTA SIGNING!?!?!?

Wasn't his source in the cubs f.o.?

I don't really buy that as anything more than someone in an auction draft who thinks the bids are too low and makes sure to drive up the price a bit.

Ugh, I hate Jerry DiPoto

Alright so anyway... Manny Machado.

We all thought it was a terrible system when the yankees would just overwhelm the top FA every year with money, probably worse when the yankees get them on a discount.

Is there a link/patreon or anything?

Was Herrerra just offered to press or was there a press conference that got all these quotes?

That would be brutal if 7 million per year more would not be enough. That is above the 20% tax we've discussed here previously.

Was this Sherman?

The scariest part for me is yankees were definitely in a position where they could just sit and wait and then propose a last offer. They didn't need to be aggressive, so sox could have put in an offer that looked good and feel confident in, then if yankees decide to match it at 90%...the deal could blow up. But I certainly hope the signings and acquisitions of the sox mean they weren't just doing that as a guess.

Sometimes issue is when you paste in link you bring in additional formatting that blocks the embed. When there is extra formatting, a black bar appears at bottom of field after you paste asking if you want to paste as plain text, click that and the embed will appear.

Even if we don’t get manny, we did get fathom mastering the embedded tweet

Guessing this was on the pod?

The Sale trade leaked the night before as well, including nailing Basabes inclusion.

Oh take it to the bank

Did anyone actually say it was happening today?

I don’t actually think there was anything but guesses.
