Just wait until I close it and start a new one over a benign Nightengale tweet.

Just worked something out Minnie Minoso Minnie Minoso Min-nie Mi-no-so Man-nie Mi-no-so Man-ny Mi-no-so Man-ny Ma-no-do Man-ny Ma-cha-do M N N M M M M M = 1000 in roman numerals 1000 1000 1000 = 3 1s and 000 000 000 oh my god manny signs for 3000000000 follow me on soundcloud

Grant Green still might come around.

I hope this is the case. If it's not, my guess is the yankees asked if they could have time to try and get the best deal for andujar before teams discounted offers as "desperation", then signed Manny. But, it would seem surprising that no real leaks of trade offers had occurred, so I think sox offer continues to be the strength here.

I agree but this system also has a potential where if this year is as good for development as last year was bad for development, they are in great shape. It just cannot stay at it's current trajectory, too few new pieces are being added.

Everything is lining up for this deal to actually be tolerable, not even an overpay. If the sox don't land either one, I do not think they were serious, and if they were serious then they were also naive, and if they were not naive, then they were arrogant. Sometimes I think this front office thinks they are a lot more clever and successful than they are. There are no runners up for free agents. And because this needs to be said, I do think sox are going to sign him, that it is a monumental achievement to sign and will be a true sign of the changing, positive capabilities when it happens. But, there is no try here. If they fail it is a failure and if they succeed it's a success. This market did not get out of control, they said they were going to operate differently, then do it. But if they thought being cute and creative signing friends was a substitute for providing the cash required to land a once-every-few years prized free agent...that's bad.

On the other hand there isn’t much place to go but down with bears D.

If I followed white Sox twitter I’d have to read Pnoles and kenwo tho

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?
