I get that most professional athletes are basically money grubbing whores selling to the highest bidder but I just don’t see either of those guys wanting to play for the White Sox, hit in 2 months of horrible cold weather where their stats will suffer to play for a team that lost 100 games . I don’t think Jerry can greenlight that much money to overcome that.

The Sox would have to be 40-50 million over the next best offer. No way that cheap prick Jerry bucks up.

IF this happens I'm going to be worried about Uncle Jerry's health. This is a move you make when you expect to sell the team soon.

Quote:
The White Sox have been fairly active this offseason, adding Yonder Alonso, Ivan Nova, James McCann, and Manny Banuelos to the fold in recent days and weeks. As the Sox emerge from a deep rebuild, they're also expected to be players for one or both of Manny Machado and Bryce Harper. Now, though, ESPN's Buster Olney reports that such tantalizing buzz comes with a qualifier. Per an Olney source, the Sox likely aren't willing to offer either generational free agent a record contract. A record contract in essence would mean something in excess of the $325 million extension that Giancarlo Stanton signed in his Marlins days. It seems unlikely that both Machado and Harper would fall short of that figure, which in turn means the Sox may be players for them only if the market falls well short of expectations.

If they ever talk about the White Sox on the Score again, I'd love to hear Bernstein try to spin this into Jerry not being cheap with a generational baseball talent just entering his prime.

I’m told the price for Machado is dropping (they’re meeting with him tomorrow) and the price for Harper is rising and they really really really want him. Like really want him.

I don't buy this. Do these guys even want to hear from the White Sox if they are about to be the 3rd or 4th team in the bidding? All along, it's been said the White Sox need to overpay, be the highest bidder, etc. Now, the Sox are only players if the market falls out for these.

No idea on if the White Sox get one, both or neither, but I don't believe it will be because they are coming short of other offers.

When this started they had the same offer for both players thinking one would accept. Harper won't sign for that offer so Kenny and Hahn are pushing Jerry to up the offer. Machado can be signed for less than the original offer but as of now they're all in on Harper. That could change if Machado's number drops some more.

Just go get Machado. Frankly, I like that he's dirty. I like that he fills a hole. I like that he's damn good. They have the money, pay the man.

You joke, but you're probably not that far off on their offer.

I’m not comfortable paying that but let’s say it’s significant.

Pipe down "Can't Stands Ya" and watch a true insider operate. Jerry seems like he is going all in before he checks out.

Spmack is a better mult guesser than Keyser being a White Sox insider.

Any offer made to either player will be significant. If you're not mentioning dollars then you're not saying much my friend.
