Oh well if it’s for manny then im okay with it

Whyyyyyyyy

I think as fans that’s what you want to hear from an owner to an extent though. They have played the FA market this offseason and brought in quality pieces, even if he misses on Machado/Harper I don’t think he will have his fan base pitch forking outside philly......err wait maybe he will it’s philly

https://nypost.com/2019/01/07/price-at-which-manny-machado-would-be-worth-risk-to-yankees/ dont know if this has been posted during all the cheating and potential killing coverups but NY post saying no offer has been made to Manny, whether that is true or not he did bring up a point would manny bite with an opt out after 2019 to become a yankee and get a bigger pay day next season?

Of course he would say this, he’s not back tracking now, dudes too aarogant to admit he could be wrong and won’t ever do so

I agree and if cheating on your wife is the first thing on your mind when choosing where you sign a brand new hundreds of million dollar contract maybe just maybe I would reconsider being married in the first place and get a divorce so I don’t lose a good chunk of it when it’s found out I’ve been cheating....

Yeah I wouldn’t pay that dude any attention, just smile and let the Yankee fans roast that dude when he doesn’t sign with them lol

Must have missed that post the first time through...now I see it...I’m pretty sure in today’s day and age if a player is out doing that it’s going to be found out one way or another with social media

Not sweating that, if it’s true, trading for Alonso could be an even smarter move then as someone else pointed out earlier a few pages back

I don’t think it was Dan that said the 7th but I thought he either eye balled it or retweeted it or something like that

More than likely, two hours ago he said Bryce Harper to the whitesox was confirmed lol so nothing new to see here folks, although it’d be nice if we did wake up to breaking whitesox Machado news

So Machado signing this week?

https://mobile.twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/1082098371274440704 garfien also saying it’s not true

Yeah I kept checking in on his Twitter feed to see if he had responded to it at all and still no acknowledgment of it, it was definitely a false rumor that someone jumped the gun on and ran with

Cmon man you really fell for that? No chance that wouldn’t have leaked out or been caught or seen sooner than it was

Would be nice if true, but the Sox aren’t going to let their biggest signing in franchise history get leaked over a football game would they?

A hard cap would be amazing with a minimum floor that you have to meet as well, but as we know that will never happen.

2018 was the first season they didn’t face a CBT penalty since it’s inception which since it resets makes them “first time” offenders again, not really that careful if you ask me, but I get what you are saying, however.... https://www.pinstripealley.com/2018/11/11/18083580/yankees-offseason-free-agents-self-imposed-salary-cap-payroll-cbt-luxury-tax-cashman-steinbrenner If their payroll is currently around 193 million they still have around 13 million to play with before even crossing the thresh hold and considering 2018 was the first time ever they were under it, I highly doubt it’s going to stop them from landing a player like Machado https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/NYY/new-york-yankees-salaries-and-contracts.shtml

Especially when it comes to Harper, everything on him right now I would guess is posturing to up offers, I don’t doubt they’ve had contact with Washington but I highly doubt the rumors of him going back there is anything other than plants put out by Boras

Unfortunately it’s the Yankees we are talking about and I really don’t think they care about cash

I think they are in on him but there isn’t going to be anything of relevance on Harper until after Machado signs

I agree, there are other needs to be met for this team outside of manny or Harper but the Sox seem to be just sitting on their hands until at least manny figures out where he’s going

https://mobile.twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1081731859241934854 they still are pursuing Ottavino as well....our luck they land him as well and then turn their attention back to manny and make it an offseason....ugh

I guess good thing for the Sox is they don’t sign too many of them things called contracts....? this offseason is starting to become brutal....seems like forever since the Sox have made a move
