It’s really odd how so few on here think Padres are a threat. I'm starting to believe the Olney/Levine number about the Sox offer may have been the accurate one. Nobody's talking about the Sox anymore as a possibility nationally besides a brief mention, so I'm thinking it is down to Philly and San Diego. They're both getting one of them, and the Sox are going to be left empty handed. A majority of posters are going to be pissed in a week or two. To be honest, Moustakas back to Milwaukee kind of telegraphs Machado to SD. Edited February 17, 20197 yr by Jack Parkman

It’s really odd how so few on here think Padres are a threat. I'm not saying that the Padres aren't a threat, I just think the Sox still have the upper hand for a number of reasons.
February 17, 20197 yr Who would have thought the Padres would have fucked our rebuild so badly over the last 3 years
February 17, 20197 yr I'm going to laugh so hard on here when the Sox lose out on Manny to SD. Everyone in here has been downplaying them the whole time because of taxes. If the Sox offered 250 and the Padres offered 255, he'd go to the Padres all day. This front office sucks, this organization is pathetic

There has been extensive talk on taxes already, with regards to the differences and how he would lose more by doing your scenario...::
February 17, 20197 yr What? I was told the Padres interest was just for business purposes and that they have no money. Even shown an article. This is impossible! Someone tell the Padres right now to stop talking with Manny as they have no understanding of their financial status.

That 300 number is more important to him then the taxes
February 17, 20197 yr Man this thread is going bi polar.......if Harper deal is heating up it only makes sense to drum up the San Diego talks because without them Machado would only be left with the whitesox.....this is not rocket science guys

This means machado made his choice and hahn is confident enough to let moose sign elsewhere Hahn would never sign Moose as a back up plan while we are still in the running to get Manny because if Manny did sign with the Sox we would also be stuck with Moose's contract. It means nothing in regards to Manny's choice other than the fact that the White Sox still have a chance at getting him. Edited February 17, 20197 yr by JuliusO1274

The Padres future looks brighter than the White Sox. Far and away the best farm system in baseball. They've also shown a willingness to spend in the past. They are less of a joke than the White Sox
