Lol...you just don’t get it sometimes. See he had this thing called “leverage” because the White Sox wanted him for Machado reasons. He probably would have got $3M otherwise because it’s still a weak CF market.
I don’t buy that and honestly when it comes down to the wire, offers can radically change. I wouldn’t rule out anything with the Phillies. Just got to hope adding all of Machado’s buddies forces his agent to give us a right to match anything at the end.
I think a ceiling would be around 10/$326M, but given where things have been rumored to stand I think hitting the $300M mark gets a deal done. That’s an amount any agent could feel proud of even if it’s not record breaking.
Alright, I really truly believe Manny will make his decision once we get to 200 pages. Unfortunately with peavy44 suddenly MIA, that might take another couple of weeks.
