February 14, 20197 yr Just now, Orlando said: Wow if this is true, it make so much sense that this is still going on. Maybe the Yankees offered 240, Machado said no, Yankees moved on and now the Sox offer is close or less and Machado is either trying to get that offer back from Ny or trying to avoid signing for less. Highly doubt he would have said no thanks to 240M with an offer the same or less than the Yankees.

February 14, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, joesaiditstrue said: if true, this invalidates the Sox 175m rumor Sounds strange.If Yankees offer was that high why not be interested? Even the highest reported Sox offer wasn't much higher than $240M. For those afraid that the Sox would have to beat a Yankees offer significantly because of Manny's desire to be a Yankee you would conclude that the Yanks are still in it or the Sox offer is pretty damn good.
February 14, 20197 yr Sox maybe prepared for their initial offer being beaten by one or maybe two teams, a huge incentive to not bid against yourself

February 14, 20197 yr 2 minutes ago, Orlando said: I assume at the time, there were no other offers and he was confident he would easily break 300 He met with the Yanks last of all 3 teams if you remember correctly. There is no doubt in my mind that there wasn’t any other offers put out there before he met with NY

Or Heyman is lying to push the Yankee agenda and making it seem like they had a good offer. Woah. Think this one over again my man.

February 14, 20197 yr Didn’t Heyman report that at the time of the meeting, the Yankees were ready to talk numbers but Machado wasn’t? All I am saying is that the Yankees may have wanted to lock this thing up early. Right now 240 seems like a lot but when people were predicting 350-400, do you even entertain?

February 14, 20197 yr The heyman quote never says "offered". That my friends is why it's a non issue and they moved on. No formal was given and verbals were and have been low. Edited February 14, 20197 yr by EloyJenkins

February 14, 20197 yr For all we know, the Yanks offer was 10 years for $240, no way he would take that.

February 14, 20197 yr Remember the good ol days when the bears lost but we had a guy saying by the time we woke up Machado will be a White Sox?
