I guess the Cespedes offer was just fodder.

If it suits Baltimore it tickles the shit out of me. The man will be close to 37 upon contract end. One would think that a lesson was learned after the Yankees Big 3 but what the hell.

^^^Yup...he's not exactly "Mr. Durable".

 

[totus44]

Wow....that's about $139k per strikeout, but I'm sure those Ks get cheaper as he ages, lol!

I really can't believe they upped the offer after he basically told them to fuck off. Go figure.

I can't believe they upped the offer either.

Geezus, this shit is crazy. Imagine getting approximately $150, 000 for a single day of pay....

as aforementioned, he is not durable either...IMO, a WTF signing...

..............just unreal. will they ever learn? obviously, not!

Did you see where this deal takes him through 2037. Shades of Bobby Bonilla.

You mean the Steve Young and Bruce McNall- protocol/syndrome........???

If Machado can stay healthy and productive it'll be interesting to see what his payday will amount to. If picking Orioles to play for pay I'd sure take Machado and Jones over Davis. Old Tony Bennett tune "Nice Work if you can get it. Ticket Price increases at Camden Yards, why are we not surprised.

And again its the fans that get screwed in the long run. As far as the team, they do not have enough pitching to make a difference in the east.
