Yeah that nats offer had zero opt outs iirc Edited February 17, 20197 yr by mqr

February 17, 20197 yr If Phillies are all in on Harper, and Sox still believe they are in a great position with Machado, then it's very hard for me to believe that Hahn will offer what will be necessary to get Harper away from Philly.
February 17, 20197 yr Just now, NCsoxfan said: How do we know? It might not even be Hahn, obviously Reinsdorf has his limits. Just think of it this way- does anyone really believe that the Sox would have had multiple meetings with Harper, laying a lot of groundwork, etc. just to sit back and not make an offer on him as the bidding is reaching its final stages?

No, but obviously they have their limits too. Just a matter of where this thing ends up at.

I wouldn't think so, but for all we know they may have put in all that groundwork at a time when they felt Manny to the Yankees was a strong possibility. As soon as they knew the Yankees were out, they may have backed off discussions with Harper and put all their focus on getting Manny.
February 17, 20197 yr Just throwing this out there for fun: Phillies payroll now is at 125,000,000 and in the multi-year summary hovers around the 90,000,000 mark. The white sox payroll is 80,000,000 now and then goes to 25,000,000 for the next two years and then 10,000,000 for the following two. Doesn't mean anything much, but f***ing hell, we have money to play with. So much money that we could sign both Harper and Machado, have contract extensions for Yoan and Eloy set up, AND sign other free agents.
February 17, 20197 yr 13 minutes ago, NCsoxfan said: How do we know? It might not even be Hahn, obviously Reinsdorf has his limits. Because they knew at the start of FA what the offer that was turned down was. They knew what it would cost to get him the moment they decided to go for him. Trust me, they didn't meet with him and stay in this to not be prepared to go more than 10 million over the original starting point. You don't do the presentation they did and send out Thome, etc, to not be in this to win it. 310 isn't what he's signing for, to play in Philly of all places.

February 17, 20197 yr There was a belief Machado preferred to be east and especially not be on the West Coast. However recent word in Miami circles has been that he’s going to take whatever the best deal is. #padres
