Crimes against humanity and the English language.

I love that this is still a thing.

Wait, what?

Addison's ex- is back with more details. https://www.docdroid.net/b4Kkd6i/melisa-reidy-is-speaking-out-its-time-for-everyone-to-listen-kw.pdf#page=2

Absolutely. Which is why the ability to walk away is even greater, not lesser.

You mean the agent who is about to get 10% of ~$300 million? Pretty sure his protests would be minimal. What's he going to do, quit before the big payday? This is absurd. I mean, I have turned down subsequent interviews because of the feel of a company during their presentation, and have turned down offers because the company didn't feel right. While I am sure Manny would love to have the place he wants to go be the place that will offer him the most money, but with the dollars that are being talked about here, isn't like he has to do something he doesn't want to do just because.

For the kind of money he is going to get, with other teams willing to bid powerball life altering amounts of money with him? I mean we aren't talking about moving up to fry clerk at $9.00 an hour instead of $8.75 to flip burgers. This is going to lock him up for the next decade-ish if he wants, so I don't really think he has to worry about either money or reputation.

If he was in a situation where he would be signing up for a team that he had no interest in being with because of a horrible impression being made? Leave the $10/20/30 million on the table and walk away. In a situation like that, the player absolutely would walk away.

Because no one else wants to pay him an assload of money?

Because we all know how long of a flight to NYC that would make for.

I mean the dude is looking at something in the area code of $300 million. If it was bad, he'd just say thanks, but peace out bro.

Why would you stick around for 10 hours if it were bad and you were Manny Machado?

Agreed. It either means the Yankees are in the drivers seat, or it means the Yankees are out.

Best Case Scenario: Machado's team detailed the Sox offer, Yankees aren't interested in going to that point. Meeting was short. Worst Case Scenario: Yankees put their offer on the table, destroyed the Sox offer. Meeting was short.

I am going to guess he wants to get this out of the way by Christmas, hence jamming all of the meetings into this week.

Forget it, he's rollin

Right next to the Avi Garica contract extension.

I will be honest here, the most likely thing wasn't leaving the area, it was taking up a place like Rosemont who tried to attract them. That would screw the City of Chicago and still leave the Cubs the market of Chicago.
