February 18, 20197 yr I agree with the comment mentioned earlier. If the Padres stuff is true (in that Lozano is trying to get the Sox to up their offer), it would make sense that we are towards the finish line and Hahn/Lozano are working on finishing the deal, with it being announced sometime this week.
February 18, 20197 yr 7 minutes ago, Perfect Vision said: Sometime recently people began using OPS as the sole and exclusive determiner of a player's value. It's not. Anyone who judges Madrigal based only on OPS is going to be disappointed in his career. It's obviously not. But the guy couldn't hit the ball with any kind of authority for two months. Now, there are several factors that may or may not have led to that, but he has to show that it was the wrist and fatigue, and not just the fact that he can't hit the ball hard. I'm not giving up on the guy, but adjusting the current big league roster for a guy that is still pretty damn far away is silly. Especially when it's screwing around with a guy that was way more highly regarded than madrigal will ever be. Edited February 18, 20197 yr by mqr

February 18, 20197 yr Good news. We don't have an owner who is doing a press conference about his racist dad and has a player on the team that likes to beat women. Even if we don't get Manny there's always that.

One thing for doubters to keep an eye on is how willians astudillo performs this year for twins. Guy had basically one skill which was he didn't k and also didn't walk much. Not much else, little power, no speed. He finally made it up to the twins and performed pretty well. Like Narvaez, he seems to be developing decent power later in his 20s. Madrigal has a much better tool package.

Trades are a different story. There is no way to force a deal without paying extortion. Accept that you do not hold all the cards and keep a final walk-away number at the ready. If no luck you move on to the next fish.

Especially when it's screwing around with a guy that was way more highly regarded than madrigal will ever be. The board is weird with him because 1) I agree there is way too much assumption that he's gonna make it and moving a player in anticipation of him is nonsense but also 2) the board is way too certain on his ceiling and what type of player he'll be based on two months of baseball.

This should at least make us somewhat curious how they could afford Machado and why he would want to go there. It seems like the Sox would have a better chance at contending than the Padres, given the readiness of their prospects and the AL Central.
February 18, 20197 yr If I had begun teaching you guys the basics of the German language the day Manny's free agency started, you would all be fluent by now. ?

Really gets down to if the owner felt comfortable being cash flow negative for the team.
February 18, 20197 yr Just got back from a late breakfast and after reading a few posts I see nothing new in White Sox world. Is there anything newsworthy?
February 18, 20197 yr I dont know why, and I dont want to jinx anything, but I do not see Machado going to the Padres. With everything that has been mentioned (tax rates, signing bonuses, etc..) I just dont see San Diego's offer being so much better than the White Sox. I do think that San Diego will make a really nice offer, but that would be a lot of money wrapped up in him and Hosmer. Plus, the Padres already have Urias, and will have Tatis on the way at some point this season. I dont think having those guys will stop San Diego from signing Machado, but I would think it would stop them from making a huge offer like 8-year, $280 million.
February 18, 20197 yr Hypocrite Lozano and MLBPA have been dead silent. It’s funny because Heyman and Nightengale where the ones called out by MLBPA or Lozano for reporting numbers. The same reporters bring up huge numbers from SD and not a word. So stupid Edited February 18, 20197 yr by Orlando
