Manny Machado is reportedly finalizing a mega deal, with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Got a lot of reports , after their 4 hour 16 minute meeting today .
They went out for dinner , which isn’t unusual, as that’s how every team ends their meeting.
However , after that I got reports , that the two sides were finalizing a deal as low as 10 years $370 million, but as high as 11 years $325 million.
I’ll just say, that it’s going to be 10 years $375 million.
Anyway, I also received reports that Manny canceled his private flight back home to Miami , with rain not being an issue.
After that , you go on Instagram, and see that Manny has started to follow a lot of current Phillies players 👀👀.
The last straw for me was this :
, Yanks official offer to Manny is 7 years $210 million.
Yeah it’s game over folks
@Phillies .
Your getting him .
He cares more about the money than winning.
Wow, but then again, I don’t blame him , because they might be getting Bryce Harper as well and even if they don’t , they still have a young and upstart team, that can do great things with a leader like Machado.
EXCEPT HIM TO SIGN MONDAY!!!!!
Thoughts:
As upset , angry and disappointed as I am , I know that it’s for the best. This will come back to help the Yankees , as most things do!
Also , it tells me that the Yankees are banking on role SS free agents , ( Like Troy Tulowitsky) to fill in for Didi.
To be honest , this offseason is an overall failure so far for the Yankees, who have the most money out of any team to spend!!!!!!
Are they looking at 2019 free agency , where a lot of pitchers will be available?
We will see.
But for the time being , I hope the Yankees are able to make a move at shortstop, that will help them in the first half of 2019, that is at least a close second to Machado.
In other news:
The St Louis Cardinals, have signed former Yankee reliver Andrew Miller, with the deal expected to be announced Friday .
Andrew had knee problems in 2018, after being used a lot in 2016-2017, which is one of the reasons why teams like the Yankees, didn’t want him.
However, this move does really bolster the Cardinals bullpen, so good job St Louis!
Veteran 2B Daniel Murphy, has signed a 2 year $34 million deal with the Colorado Rockies.
This improves the Rockies, Infeild depth, as Murphy will pair with Trevor Story in Colorado.
Free agent starter Trevor Cahill , is headed to the Angles for 1 year $9 million.
Trevor, was with the A’s in 2018, and is a dependable “Middle of the rotation starter “, on teams in general and will fit right with the Angels, as they continue to try and bolster their pitching staff.
The Phillies have signed minor leaguer Shane Robinson. Shane was on the Yankees in 2018 and is expected to stay in the minors for Philly.
The Brewers have signed Carlos Spanberg to a deal. Official deal should come out soon!
