It's crazy how Machado was so poor that he didn't even have enough money to buy a uniform when he was a kid and now he'll be signing a contract for well over 200 million dollars.

You'd think at least one journalist would have asked Rawlings what's up with that tweet...

Someone should ask Garfien to look at Alonso and Jay's gloves and see if they have 305 on the side on them.

Talk about " man hands"!

CPD wouldn't be working the pitching thing, that would be GRF security staff.  Not saying that means anything either way in regard to this, I just wanted to point it out.

Because they might get thrown under the bus by Lozano or the mlbpa for breaking the cba or disrupting the free agency process. Lol. Seriously,  the national guys are probably about as sick and tired of this whole process as we are.

I'm sure he's somewhere with the Sox. Part of the Manny recruitment.

I missed the overnight party. A whole lot of nothing but today should be fun?

 The only sure good news is we play the Trolley Dodgers in ten days. 

Guess we'll see today and tomorrow which people on Twitter are full of shit.

Today, both MM and Bryce, will sign contracts. 

 

Why am I so confident? Because by the time tomorrow is today, its already today. 

Remember when an image of a Harper bat with Phillies logos leaked and people freaked out? A few hours later the company clarified they just prepared several bats to be ready wherever he signed?

That didn’t happen here, no knockdown at all so that feels pretty good.

Well, so far that has been all of them, so my guess is that will continue.

Les Grobstein and Mully/Haugh have been calling this off season collusion with the owners.  This meme needs to stop.

Definitely seems noteworthy that teams all collectively decided to stop spending on free agents at once.

Just get ready for that work stoppage. It's coming.

But they haven't.

This isn't all on the teams.  We don't know what the offers have truly been, and we won't know until after they sign.  Even then we may not know what all of the offers were.  For Machado, there are only a handful of teams that A) need a player like him, and B) can spend the money.  There's little competition, and the $300M offers aren't coming as he had hoped.  He'll end up "settling" for a 7-8 year deal worth a little more than $30M per year.

Free agency needs to be fixed for sure, but this problem exists because of both sides.

Isn’t security usually just off-duty cops?
