January 19, 20197 yr Right now I'd be surprised if this happened before spring training starts and would put even odds on it dragging into the regular season.

I guess "foiled" would be just as good. Sports writers would probably say "derail," or "block". Aren't words wonderful?

White Sox being cheap, but perhaps correctly based on the market. Will see if their shrewdness pays off with a lower-than-expected contract to Manny, or if it bites them in the ass and ruins this franchise. That seems like a terrible oversimplification. There is at least a fair chance this is a complex deal with opportunities for multiple opt outs. Neither side just wants to give into the other side, each wants the best for them. It isn't just saying here take this 10/400 deal. That would be ridiculous and a waste of limited resources. Each has a responsibility to make sure they are doing the best for their stakeholders, as well as getting a deal that works for the other side.

I honestly think he has a good offer but it’s not a record breaking offer. It was rumored that Lozano wanted to beat Stanton’s offer and they might be sticking it out just in case someone gives it to him. They already know that the Sox will do anything to get Manny with the way they went ahead and trade for Yonder and signed John Jay
January 19, 20197 yr If the mystery team had the high bid why didn't Manny take it? Not preferred landing spot... Hmmm I wouldn't doubt the Padres. And if that's the case then Manny highly considering the sox. So Hahn best pony up

I really think They're saving their money for next offseason. They will be spending on one of the big pitchers. They are going to need a pitcher and it will cost quite a bit.
January 19, 20197 yr Heyman definitely thinks that manny's dad was referring to a team other than the white sox. I really don't think so...and the fact that Lazano is still telling people there's a mystery team doesn't give me optimism about this ending anytime soon
January 19, 20197 yr Doesn’t that sound like most obvious plant ever? Has a big offer from a team he doesn’t want to play for.

January 19, 20197 yr This is gonna happen every year from now on.... Agents competing against each other seeing who has the biggest .....
January 19, 20197 yr While Heyman’s tweet is likely a Lozano plant, this is the reason you don’t dick around for too long. No reason to let anyone else into this thing.
