You get out of social media what you put into it, much like life.

Yep, there has been absolutely zero with the Sox and Harper since Vegas.

I still contend we will all be surprised at how big the number is when all is said and done.

Still looking to break records.

I am sure everyone else is lying and you are right.

And this.

He followed it up with this, sooooo

Or that it isn't money, but honor that won out.

This is actually admirable.

That Fangio wasn't highest paid assistants out there. You just handwaved away evidence that proved you wrong.

If you are given the upper hand and lose, even with the natural advantages that the Yankees have, that is really bad. If they don't make the playoffs next year, there will be hell to pay.

There is no evidence for your assertion though.

I will be honest, the one who looks the worst so far is the Yankees if he doesn't sign there. When you have a guy like this who WANTS to sign with you, there should be no way you lose that.

Google has plenty of stories about Vic being highly paid for an assistant. Here is the top one. https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2018/01/08/bears-turn-attention-vic-fangio-after-matt-nagy-hiring/

If they don't land a whale, it is because of JR, not RH or KW. This paycheck is going to come from the top.

I think there was a good post on page 23 somewhere.

If it were agent planted, he'd be pumping up the bids to get teams involved to beat them.

If only Jon Heyman would post something !>!(O#@!@!?>?

Again, all signs point to that this process is getting to be near the end game. I know nothing concrete, but it wouldn't shock me if this was down to NYY and Sox and they were trying to decide between two offers, or even running back to the Yankees to say "can you beat this?"

Let's face it, the Bears defensive personnel is going make a defensive coordinator look really good, even if they might not be. You'd have to be a fool to choose Tampa over the Bears right now.

Throwing numbers out there like this is rough. You never really know what Machado's dollar want is, versus how much he really wants to play for NYY. It could be no amount would keep him from NYC, or he could be holding out for a record number. Honestly I don't even know that Machado knows an exact number or difference that would magically compel him to NYC or the Sox.
