It's true. He's here until Wednesday.

What more do you know, Chili?

Thanks for sharing Chili

Do you think if he goes to NY and Philly, and one of them offers more, he will give us a chance to top it? I would think so but I don't know how these things go down. I suppose nobody really does.

Yeah, I have no idea how that side of it works. At some point you need final offers.

Did your guy say anything about him playing 3B vs. SS?

Without giving away your source, are you somehow connected to Manny? Or are you connected to the White Sox?

Give the man some room to breathe boyyos. He already divulged some good information.

When will he sign? What will he sign for? What is his blood type?

Chili, I gotta say, peavy44 is so jealous of you right now. 

You are the hero we need.

Based on what he’s posted, his source must be on Machado’s side.

Why?  What you hearing?

I don't blame him for hearing the other offers, but not for the agent's benefit.  The agent works for Manny.

But the agent negotiates the details of the contract. Even if the player wants to sign the first one, the agent needs to hear the other deals to get the best deal from the first one.

I understand that the likelihood of anything happening tonight basically zero, yet I cannot stop refreshing.

Uh oh jealousy from Peavy!

If there was no chance of Manny signing with them, I am sure the Yankees and Phillies would appreciate their meetings being cancelled and their time not wasted. I am sure the presentation was well done, and Manny is getting the royal treatment, and it is probably blowing him away. But, two other teams are going to do the same thing. One, he seemingly always wanted to play with. It doesn’t seem they want to go too long with him though. I still think showing him the money, and Alonso should win out. 

 

Besides, leaks about how this meeting is going or went, are BS. Do you think Hahn, and Renteria, and KW, and JR are live texting?

I agree I am just worried about the Yanks blowing him away with the allure of playing for the Yankees since he’s always wanted to do that more than anything the Phillies could offer 

Hopefully we play both these dudes off each other. Machado is the better player at the position of need.

FWIW, Kaplan said on Sportstalk Live tonight that he has heard from multiple people that if Machado and Harper don’t sign with the Sox, it won’t be because of a lack of money. He adamently said that they won’t be outbid.

Anyone else like the quote in this article where Yonder says this is a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity"?

Not that I believe the source, but great news if true.  And let’s be honest, money typically wins out in these situations.

Both, or one of them?
