So this is the acquisition that puts them over the top, right?

He's no young Freddy Galvis

Fucking cheap ass White Sox. GM has some explaining to do trading for his brother-in-law and signing his best fucking friend. Assholes!

10 years 300 mil......

 

[tabascojet]

opt out after 5...... more likely

Not in the South Side- so that’s a win in my book.

I am glad the Giants were never linked to this guy. He just doesn’t seem like the kind of player you want to anchor yourself to. He doesn’t appear to really care about winning. He is a great player, though, no question. But now that his great great grand kids are set for life, will he put his feet up and relax from here out?

Well the Padres have the #1 farm in baseball so having him as a base I guess would be good by the time their prospects come up and complete their 6 year obligation along with some service time manipulation Machado will be on the last few years of his contract

They must have told him good things about their time playing in SD.

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER!

I don't think the contract was too bad... kind of what I was expecting for him... My questions are Why was the Padres the only team willing to do this?? and would he have taken a little less to go to a team that actually matters??


It doesn't look good on a player who takes the money to play for a loser... But with that said, Padres do have a great minor league system, so maybe they compete sooner than later...

AJ Preller does it again!

Don't think the Red Sox even made an offer.

LOL...OK Nostrodumbass. You can predict that he won't win the rest of his career???

So what's the minimum Harper contract after this? 10/310?
