Oh my lord if they think Machado is comparable to a 31 year old 1B Pujols they are fucking morons.

I believe Hector, this news is Lozano trying to get other teams involved.

That has to be from Lozano to get more teams in to get bidding up. And if the Sox get pissed at it, then increase the bid and end this shit already.

I refuse to believe they are that stupid to throw out such a low ball offer.

Yes.

Well my birthday is tomorrow so a Machado signing would probably be about the best present I could ask for.

It really has been a roller coaster ride up to this point.

John is not legit, he is a troll.

So that other teams don't think they have to go over to get him. Keeps the price low and allows the Sox to get him for 8 or 9 years and less money.

I mean they could have very well been using this guys info and Rosenthal just credited him.

Ahh gotcha.

This is the guy who broke the Segura trade.

It was

HERE WE GO BOYS

Well they finally got a reputable writer to say it.

This. They're running the risk if he signs elsewhere of a fanbase calling for everyone's jobs and not going to a game.

If they strike out on this with the way they're going about it, there will be such a fanbase revolt thats going to make Disco Demolition look like childsplay.

@Y2Jimmy0 You nailed it here.

It's 100% this. They knew they had the strongest offer and now the Phillies or another team can top them. They're going to keep doing this until the number gets close to 300 M.

Because the Sox are upset at the Passan report.

Because the team is telling them to. I would take Passan over Bruce, Bob and Daryl any day.

Fair enough but if the dude doesn't get what he wants its fathomable for him to sign a short term deal with the Yankees when there are more suitors on the market next year or in the years to come.

Yasmani Grandal literally turned down a long term deal from the Mets to sign a one year deal. Manny will do something similar.
