January 30, 20197 yr https://www.mlb.com/orioles/news/manny-machado-hits-3-homers-in-first-3-innings/c-194191814 If anyone wants to watch him hitting bombs at the G-Rate. Edited January 30, 20197 yr by soxfan2014
January 30, 20197 yr My gut feeling is that the Padres are only being mentioned so Lozano can squeeze more money out of the Sox.
January 30, 20197 yr https://nyp.st/2RZTtJm Phillies GM is saying they only get one just as Hahn said. They clearly don't want to pony up over Sox offer on Machado if they think they land Harper. While the timing may still be down the road...the narrative really is similar to JD last year where the deals are not outrageous and it gets done in February.
January 30, 20197 yr Padres offer beats the field. Phillies up their offer. White Sox going to have to go to 10 years to get it done end of February after spring training has been cooking. We shall see. We shall see.

January 30, 20197 yr I feel like we have all been strung along by this process and manipulated. Maybe the teams should say we will make an offer Feb 1 and withdraw it by Feb 15. I don't take sides in the players v owners struggle but am starting to dislike the agents.

Maybe the teams should say we will make an offer Feb 1 and withdraw it by Feb 15. I don't take sides in the players v owners struggle but am starting to dislike the agents. But isn’t it the job of agents to maximize their clients’ deals (and their commissions)? We can just as easily blame advanced analytics and previous huge contracts like Pujols...but both these guys are 26, not the wrong side of 30. The only way things will change for agents is if more Tier B players get stuck like Moustakas, Lynn and a number of others at the end of the game of musical chairs with no suitors...but that simply means that more money will be going to the really difference-making players AND increases for those in Years 1-6/7 (the middle gets squeezed harder, except relievers.) If revenues continue increasing while players continue to get the same or even smaller share of the pie, there will be another devastating strike in three years.
January 31, 20197 yr Well at least there was a sudden influx of reports right? I mean, sure it wasn’t from anyone important saying much of anything of substance...but still.
January 31, 20197 yr I told Manny to please sign with the Sox on his IG Live just now. Hopefully he'll listen.
