The Manny Machado Sweepstakes

Word on the street is that he is talking to the Yankees, White Sox and Phillies this week.

Oh PLEEEEEZE, Baseball Gods, let the Yankees be stupid enough to pay this wacko $300m for 10 years.  C'mon Hal Steinbrenner you can do it!!!!!

So what if he intentionally kicked Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar?  No biggie?  Right?  Hey, the NYY employed steroid driven Roger Clemens when he intentionally fired a sawed off bat back at Mike Piazza.  Remember?  Or how about AROD girly slapping a Red Sox pitcher down the first base line.  Remember that one?  No biggie?  Right?

Manny Machado nutcase is a PERFECT FIT for the Yankees.  Do it Hal... Pony up that $300m.  PLEEEEEZ Baseball Gods let it happen.

Loser gets Manny....

Would have loved to see him on the Mets 

Manny can mash and is a wizard at third base. He’s probably the worst base runner I’ve ever seen, and has a history of chippy/cheap play. He’s a knucklehead. Not the type of dude I would give $300 million. Would be surprised if he doesn’t have a typical “just got paid” season this year. Savvy fantasy players will keep this in mind during their drafts. 

He ain’t no shortstop, either. 

That would be perfect. Here's a guy that wants to be a Yankee so bad, but if Yanks offer $25 mil a year and Mets offer $27 mil a year, will take the $27 mil, just because it's more. Why? I have no idea. What can you buy with $27 mil that you can't making $25 mil? I mean, it's Monopoly money, and plenty of it.

BTW, I know he won't sign for those numbers, they were just an example. Merry Xmas to everyone, except Manny.....

Q: Why sign for the most money when the difference is really not critical?

A: Ego gratification

Isn't it ironic, that no baseball team is "hustling" to sign Manny Machado?

Every team in the Majors are probably pissed at the White Sox for setting the bar with their offer...

Based off his 2018 playoff showing in LA, Machado is a heel, not a face.  IDK what exactly is being constructed on the Southside, but that would be a lot of coin to give to a guy that in 3 years most likely is an absolute albatross around all that purported young talent coming through the pipeline.

Who gives a garbage he sucks. I hope he goes unsigned
