shipps Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If the Sox budget for Manny was semi-low they would have not have invested the money in Alonso and Jay. They would have just put that towards the Manny budget. I’m sure they have a pretty nice ceiling of what they will be willing to go on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) This SD guy has to be full of shit. He actually said it could be done this weekend. Machado and his agent couldn't be big enough dicks and have that news come out while the Sox fan fest was going on. And no one else has it.

Then he can die with yet another half-assed product on the field. I believe this time is different though and he’s finally willing to spend.

EvilJester99 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 How many times have we seen, Machado is signing with this team and that team and now this team.. can’t believe any of this shit until he actually signs somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Not that I am trying to talk myself into not believing this San Diego guy and of course I have already covered my living room in fecal matter but this really could be a sign that it’s close with the Sox. Lozano feeds some San Diego people to leak to that weirdo that it’s close to give one last push from Sox. Not that that guys report would sway Hahn in anyway but who knows.

Blackout Friday Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Lozano knows it’s SoxFest. He knows the front office will feel extra pressure this weekend. Good time to apply some pressure. Not or saying that’s what this is. Who the hell knows? But the timing would be right on his end to make Hahn, JR, et al sweat a little bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Like I said the other day, the only advantage San Diego has over Chicago is the weather. Illinois has a lower tax rate than California, the Sox play in a much easier division than the Padres, and the Sox have some of his best friends on this team. If the money is relatively equal, I see no reason why he would choose them over us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooseman Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Someone who is smart and knows this shit based on the tax differences beween Illinois and California what would SD have pay to match the offers of 7/210 and 8/250? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If after all this hoopla by the Sox about spending, if Reinsdorf nixes a signing because it is $300 mil or over, then he should sell the team. We have had FIVE post seasons under his helm. He now says he will spend and if he allows Machado to go somewhere else because he had a limit after all, then he should sell. He would have no credibility with me. I hope we are all over reacting and this will not happen, but just saying enough trolling us. The money is there. Spend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pages and pages ago, the same question was asked about LA compared to Chicago. I believe the tax consequences in CA were somewhere between 1.5-2M/season, but I could be wrong. I'm a financial advisor but I'm not licensed in CA so I'm not entirely sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hahn should be listening 👂 just as hard as us fans to what Yonder is saying during the interview sessions. Like what was that Yonder?

Illinois is one of the 3 highest taxed states in the country. Not just using income tax as my barometer.

Perfect Vision Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I wonder if the seriousness of the Padres interest in Machado is at all tied to them acquiring Realmuto. My guess is Realmuto is traded before Machado signs. Pulling off that trade would be a sign that they want to compete this year, which could motivate them further to acquire Machado. If the Dodgers get Realmuto, I could see the Padres waiting until next offseason to make a splash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the average taxpayer sure, but California’s maximum state income tax is 8+ points higher than ours. That’s what will kill Manny signing with the Padres.

Princess Dye Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 'go down swinging' means we'll have offers at the expected level of what he's gonna get it's what the board wants, basically to a T, so i'm not going to get up in arms on that phrasing. If he takes less than us to go to NY we are not to blame. if he takes slightly less with Chicago to avoid Philly, then Philly would blame themselves for not having Alonso/Jay. You can go round and round on what it means to have money not be the sole determinant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure its going to come out after this that, indeed, the White Sox never offered more than 7 years and ~200 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
