It could take $400 million to sign Manny (internet sources unnamed)

[calmunderfire]

That's what the word is now. And Angelos is not willing to spend that much. Machado also apparently shut down negotiations in 2013.

Like I've been saying all along. He's going to completely and totally destroy any previous baseball contract. He will easily become baseball's highest paid player ever with ease.

But they said he doesn't hit like Cabrera or Trout or Pujols. Blah, blah, blah. Were they free agents at 26 years old? No they were not.

Yea, he'll have the record for about three weeks.

Any source for this word other than out your service entrance? :rolleyestf:

You thinking about Harper who is a FA the same year. I can't think of anybody who would get a larger deal in the near future.

The internet.

Yeah, Harper is likely to break the 500 million mark.

How about giving us a link. Otherwise I assume it's more BS.

Well, that's certainly very specific and credible....

According to unnamed internet sources calmunderfire is actually the reincarnation of Don Knotts. :rolleyestf:

Probably got it from the post on the Orioles SB blog today. It was reported by Rosenthal that Manny could get into $400 mil range, but not that Manny was seeking it.

SI sabermatic math dude was on with Scotty G end of last week on 105.7 and was talking Manny, and his own belief was that Manny belong in the same breath and Trout and Harper.

It's one thing to speculate about what Manny might be worth as FA, but it's another to claim falsely that sources say he is asking for 400 M. Apparently you can't make that distinction. :rolleyestf:

No he isn't. You conveniently left out the link, which shows you are completely misrepresenting the"report". Imagine that.

It was total speculation and nothing more. Moving along.
