Not necessarily. Bad contract swap or a straight salary dump where the team basically gets him for free.

December 3, 20187 yr Phillies being able to unload Santana makes it even more likely they sign Machado or Harper, IMO

December 3, 20187 yr Harper to the Phillies and Machado to the Yankees would be devastating. Absolutely devastating.
December 3, 20187 yr 20 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Is Santana confirmed to be in the trade? Yes. So far, the only confirmed pieces are Segura, Crawford and Santana. I would assume there would be some more prospects involved. Edited December 3, 20187 yr by soxfan2014

With that said, wow did the fan base get some irrational hope about the chance the Sox had to sign either guy. If what you say happens, then that Morosi initially tweet will live in infamy.

Wow, I think it’s smart the Mariners took on Santana’s contract, but they better be compensated accordingly. Crawford is a nice centerpiece (even with his hype down a bit), but there better be more coming their way. Absorbing Santana’s $40M is nothing to sneeze at, especially after working hard to get out of Cano’s deal.

If what you say happens, then that Morosi initially tweet will live in infamy. I'm not going to give up hope until they've signed elsewhere, but the Phillies look like they're motivated to add one of these guys and the Yankees have an endless budget. It'll be an uphill battle, that's for sure.

It’s more they upgraded at SS without adding too much to their payroll while also moving Hoskins to 1B. Makes it even easier for them now to go bonkers on Bryce and/or Manny

They probably will, but I still think we have a good chance of landing the other one. This reminds of the Abreu market when the stars aligned and most of the big spenders had little to no interest. Outside of the Yankees with Machado, I don’t see any serious threats. And I’m not convinced the Yankees are prepared to offer a record setting contract for Machado just yet.
December 3, 20187 yr If the phils land machado, I don't think Harper goes to the yanks... In the past he has said he doesn't like the city of NY and has openly complained about their rules regarding hair and made other comments indicating he isn't a fan of the yanks.
