Theoretically what team would have the money, position, or need for him?

Padres has always been my suspicion.

Fake News. I actually liked Jake Peavy.

just ooc, why are 3B so injury prone?

 

Maybe that's why he wants to play short.  A guy who's had two knee operations wants to play out his career and not end up like another Crede, Chavez, etc.

Supposedly he was born with some defect in his knees. Once they were cleaned up, it isn’t supposed to be a lingering problem.

no idea why the padres aren't on it, so thats my bet.

God dammit just pay the man

Im done with this shit. Manny make a decision or just move on.... What ever. I'm getting to the point to think Manny is a lil b**** like Harper. Right now honestly I could care less if he signs with us. 2 suitors name your price and choose. There's millions of people who don't have anything so don't be such a fuck amnd greedy. Name your price, make your decision.... 

The only ream I could think of is Miami. They have no payroll and he can live at home. If there is one place he may pay for himself, it’s there IMO. But usually teams are a mystery because they are figments of ones imagination.

Yeah the Padres make too much sense.

Someone mentioned the Cardinals in a tweet today. Could possibly still be the mystery team. Or the mystery team is fake and just a leverage ploy.

But aren't they paying off some debt from the previous ownership?

I’m not one to get overly optimistic, but this seems like a final effort by Machado’s camp to raise those offers.

Bryce to the Phillies and Manny to the White Sox seems close to me. I personally don’t even think the Phillies are even that in on Manny anymore with their full attention seeming to be on Harper. I think this is a final push to exclusively elevate the Sox offer slightly.

I could see the Sox being at 7-year, $230 million, and this is a final push to get them around 7-year, $250 million.

Oh it definitely is!

It sounds like Manny doesn’t want to come here.

So be it. Let’s move on.

Huh?

?? notice they didn’t say the Yankees, personally the mystery team is always there, mlb network was making fun of the mystery team during the winter meetings, it’s all smoke to drive up the price

I've thought of them a lot too. Another team that doesn't tie up a ton of money on anyone and can play him at SS.

Edit: not that I actually believe there is one. Just that I think they can always be on anyone.

? The man is just trying to milk whatever team signs him for the most he can.

I would love Manny alone...but maybe the only way to get Harper is Manny first. Anyway if he get one, two or none of them we are on the upside to this rebuild so better days are ahead nonetheless.

How stupid does Mannya camp think everyone is?

Because there is always a chance. No one thought Pujols was going to the Angels until it was announced. No one thought Cano would go to Seattle. No one had Greinke in AZ. 

It just takes one. And if you are an owner and have to overpay, wouldn’t you rather overpay a guy like this vs. someone in the next tier or 2 below? They already have $13 million in, they need to get to the finish line.

TBH i'm surprised there aren't more teams. Short of collusion, I don't know why mid-market teams aren't all over this. 

I am sure there are plenty of mystery teams if he bidding is truly only at $200M (it’s probably not tho). 

If you are machados camp and it’s obvious it’s down to Chicago and Philly you create the idea of a mystery team because at this point you don’t have much more leverage left without another team involved, pretty simple
