January 17, 20197 yr What I'm struggling with is understanding why the Sox wouldn't trigger that option.

January 17, 20197 yr btw, Yanks seem to be close to trading Sonny Gray and a reliever (Kahnle and/or Holder). Got to hope this isn't all setting up for them to trade Andujar for Kluber.

If the sox opt in for him then the salary would skyrocket after three years to make the deal equal to 8/250. $25 million for the first 3 years If the sox pick up the extra year (or two) his contract would become $35 million until the contract runs out Edited January 17, 20197 yr by Peacock Wrestler

January 17, 20197 yr Yankees will end up with Machado because the great Rick Hahn can't offer fair value for Manny. Good for Hahn. Hope the guy gets lit up at SoxFest for this garbage off-season he's had

Almost weren't going to trade him cause of cc health but seems he's good to go.

I'm not saying Gray signifies that they're going after Kluber, more that the wheels seem to be in motion for them to execute whatever plans they have.

January 17, 20197 yr Any ideas as to how reporters in New York are the ones finding out about our opt-out discussions with Machado?

The first time I read it I just assumed they were speculating that it COULD be there, not that it IS in there. I don't believe they would know this information for sure either.
