February 18, 20197 yr I've often thought about why Merkin and Van Schowen etc. got fed the 7/175M info. It might be so that we can top out at 250M and have that seem like a late bump up to win, and have that be the local-news story
February 18, 20197 yr Just now, Whitesox27 said: Heyman has tweeted variations of this like 15 times today lol He said *at least* so there's a chance that both the Phillies and Padres are 'left out.'

Sox can easily counter by 1) front loading contract and 2) promising their “deferral” as a team ambassador role for life, which is what Thome, Thomas and others (GarPax?) have pitched to Bryce and Manny I don’t think Sox offer would consist of significant deferrals.

I don’t follow. Hector has stood strong that our offer weeks ago was $8/$250M. If so, that is fantastic news because it means at a very minimum we’re currently equal to the Padres or within shooting distance. If we you believe what Nightengale & Heyman have said, we are way behind the Padres right now and I’d personally be terrified that we have no attention of approaching $300M. Hector’s reporting is a good thing if true.

February 18, 20197 yr I hope sometime Monday the Sox go from a Level 1 Crook to a Level 100 Boss. Edited February 18, 20197 yr by BackDoorBreach
February 18, 20197 yr I don't want him any more. Send his sorry ass to Philly so he can deal with those abysmal fans.
February 18, 20197 yr So back at Soxfest, Hahn said he hopes that there's 3 or 4 more moves this offseason. When Manny is signed, what else?

February 18, 20197 yr More like ESCAPE ROOM. I don't know if there's enough energy left over for full-out PANIC at this point in time. It's either a sense of relief we FINALLY sign Machado (overlaid with concerns about him exercising an early opt-out) OR pretty much total nuclear meltdown/Chernobyl/Armageddon/Thanos snapping his fingers if they swing and miss with almost EVERYTHING POSSIBLE working in their favor in terms of market conditions (and considering how disappointing 2018 turned out).

February 18, 20197 yr https://www.rotoworld.com/baseball/mlb/player-news/headlines#news-8847656 According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Padres' offer to Manny Machado is as high as $280 million over eight years. That's a nice increase over the over the $240 million that other clubs have reportedly offered. The Padres were also creative in the way they structured the contract for Eric Hosmer last offseason and could be looking to do something similar here. As of now, the Padres look to be in the lead in the race for Machado.
February 18, 20197 yr So Bob Nightengale is accusing Lozano of lying? If he's telling some teams one number and other teams another number, he's lying to somebody. Ironic given Lozano's statement a month or so ago. Edited February 18, 20197 yr by Sarava
