February 9, 20197 yr Super interesting that "Stadium", who tweeted this about Machado and Jimenez, is part owned by Jerry Reinsdorf. ?

Disclaimer: I downed an entire bottle of NyQuil, so take that with a grain of salt. Okay, just finished the bottle of NyQuil with salt. Tasted pretty weird. What do I do next to get on the dream quest?

His stance the last few days has been that a New York based reporter told him he'd be surprised if the Yankees don't reach out at this point to the camps of both players and see where they stand. I took from his videos and Twitter comments that if the price is in the lower end of where the Yankees want to be they are interested, especially if the players are willing to take shorter term deals. He seems to be of the belief that both players have expressed interest in the Yankees and one might jump at an offer. Time will tell.
February 9, 20197 yr Hector is starting to get annoying. He's honestly no different than Dan Clark right now, other than he hasn't been wrong yet. I guess im glad he is confident, but he's setting himself for a world of shit if Manny doesn't come to the Sox.

I know everyone’s having fun with him now, but it won’t be his fault if Manny doesn’t sign here.
February 9, 20197 yr Also, it’s quite funny how many times a day people ask him when will Manny sign, and he hasn’t responded once.
February 9, 20197 yr Sox Twitter created a petition for Hector to throw out the first pitch at a game this season lol

I'm of the opinion that he's been reporting the same thing he heard once over and over again. Hopefully he is correct of course but, it's not as if he ever expands on his belief of him coming to the Sox. I don't think he is trolling either.

February 9, 20197 yr So I dont really feel like going back and searching for the person, but the one who claimed all this security needed crap, have they been roasted?

February 9, 20197 yr 2 hours ago, Lillian said: I'm curious, what would you guess the agent's cut of Machado's contract would be? Typical rate is 4%. They usually carve out enough cash to pay the agent up front.
February 9, 20197 yr When I first saw that report about the Yankees offering a 7-year, $220 million contract, I was kind of disappointed. But now that I think about it, I think that has to be a leak from Lozano. And if that’s the case, it probably means it’s a last stitch effort to up the White Sox offer. Don’t want to jinx anything, but I think our Sox are in a good position.
February 9, 20197 yr I don't see the Yankees signing Machado. That infield is a log jam and not in the "WHAT ABOUT PALKA/ENGEL" sense. Before they went out and picked up DJL and Tulo maybe. They would have to offload Andujar or Torres most likely to make that work. Not happening. If they packaged Ells and one of those two players to a team, maybe.
February 9, 20197 yr There was a report from Morosi about the Nats being willing to match or come close to any bid from Philly and now we have this reported offer from New York. I think both of these free agents sign soon. Bring up the boogeymen to squeeze the last pennies out of the Sox and Phillies and then sign on the dotted line.
February 9, 20197 yr If the Yankees have truly offered $220M and he hasn't taken it yet from his #1 destination, then it must be because the Sox (or someone else) currently has a significantly higher offer and he is waiting for either the Yankees to improve their offer, or another team to beat the team that currently has the higher offer. That being said, maybe the $250M that Passan and Gomez tweeted out was real, and that $30M gap is enough for him to not take the Yankees $220M offer and hope they can find some more money for him.
February 9, 20197 yr Let's get this done. Time to pay up. I'm st the point you just give him 300 million. Alright Rick show MLB who has the biggest grapefruits.
February 9, 20197 yr I could have sworn I heard someone they wanted another random twitter user claiming that they had vague and never-to-be-confirmed information, so here you go!

Was posted earlier. I find it odd that on the 1% chance this is legit, they aren't talking money. This deep into the game, I'm sure there are full fledged contracts outlined. But who knows, maybe I don't know anything about how these deals are negotiated, but it seems pretty logical to me.
