In fact, sources within the Yankees organization tell me the expected range for a Machado deal will be between $220 million and $270 million, probably for no more than seven years, and there is no guarantee the Yankees will be in if the numbers wind up in the upper half of that range. And the Yankees signing of Troy Tulowitzki last week seems like an insurance policy in case they decide to bow out on Manny.
January 7, 20197 yr We’ve always known Machado would prefer to play for the Yankees regardless of how his wife feels. I’m not sure this tells us anything new, but it does confirm we need to be prepared to outbid the Yankees by quite a bit.
January 7, 20197 yr He's not going to leave money on the table. His wife will be part of that. If she wants to live in New York an extra 20 million for a townhouse will do nicely.

Just as I thought. Sox need to go 7/325M.
January 7, 20197 yr Well, I think that confirms that this $200 million stuff was definitely too good to be true. Hope sox get it done.

She can literally spend half the season in New York while Manny is on the road and the other half in Chicago with her brother. Throw enough money at them and I’m sure it won’t be a problem.

January 7, 20197 yr I have heard it speculated that Harper and Machado are holding up the rest of the market. If it's even slightly true, wouldn't the players association be putting some pressure on them to sign something?
January 7, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, ptatc said: There is a lot of room between 275 and 325. Yes, but if the Yankees offer 275 and the Sox counter with, say 300, I'd bet Machado would go with the Yanks.

What can they really do? Tell a player to sign for less than what the player wants? Until they get a salary cap with a salary floor, this is how its going to be.
