That may be his motivation.

I have two extra rooms in my house.   We're bringing all his friends and family up here.   Everybody open up your doors!

I'd be willing to make him the 5th starter in April, if necessary.

What’s the chances this has been his source all along?

It's very possible.  Perhaps that's why Hector Gomez was so positive about the contract numbers.   

From an article written by Manny:

Quote

Then there’s my Uncle Gio. He, along with my grandfather, was a father figure to me. I had a relationship with my biological father growing up, but he didn’t live with us and he wasn’t a part of my everyday life. My uncle was the one who taught me how to fix things, and how to drive a car.

Player's Tribune

I doubt he knows anything.

Also, if that's the case would this be a way to leak information without breaking the CBA (I believe).

I’ve also seen that they’ve made up over last few years

Yeah, but that could also mean his parents are divorced and he lives far away.  I have a buddy like that who is close to his dad, but wouldn't say he was a father figure because he'd only see him every once in a while even though they always talked.

Well he certainly is no incarcerated bob or Charles the cat

We need to add a family counselor to the payroll.

"Manny Machado's father has not spoken about teams offering contracts to Manny.  As a matter of fact, Machado does not have a father.  He was hatched in a laboratory that was trying to create the perfect baseball player." - Bruce Levine probably

Papa Machado is going to turn into Lavar Ball

just to go back to #hattalk. i don't think you can overstate the impact getting alonso and jay has on MM's decision just by looking at that picture alone. I know he's gonna follow the money but Manny seeing the sox hats on his sister and brother in law and nephew at least leaves some subconscious influence on him.  Gotta tip your cap to Rick and not be haters on him, he's trying.

Plot twist....Bruce Levine is the father and he was right all along..

"He was said to have 250 million chromosomes, but it turned out to be 175 million. Still, quite the genetic marvel."

Can’t wait to hear reports of Papa Machado being seen in Reinsdorf’s suite at the Rams/Saints game

Or the notional value......do we have an econ/biology major in this thread that can help us out?

Because the deferred chromosomes control bunting. And we all know those go away once you hit the south side.
