Does Machado Sign? Will You Be Upset If He Doesn't?

Dan Connolly:

Joe Jordan heading to press box for conference

is it going to be on masn?

[delinodeshields]

Boras had no leverage with these guys. A deadline cave by the Nationals or Orioles was his only hope. Good job by both organizations!

[bandy75]

Are we all going over to the "Everybody Dancing" thread now?

[RVAbird]

Boras doesn't seem quite as scary as he used to. Great job by the Nats to work out 6.5 for Harper. He was overhyped and didn't deserve much more than that. My brain kept telling me that Boras would cave at the last minute for Machado as well. Really interested in the final number, but if Harper got 6.5 I have to think the $$ for Machado is reasonable.

Boras must have been neglected as a child.

haha Well said

[Orioles Magic]

Glad we signed the kid. But I am not gonna get too excited about him until he actually proves he is worth the hype & not simply another overvalued O's prospect.

Ken Gurnick:

Most suprising deal that got done? RT @kengurnick: Zack Lee got $5.25 million over five years.

Jim Bowden:

Bryce Harper deal is very close to the orginal 10m based on the other side...luv how this side of the business works..bottom line..done deal

The plot thickens...get it right, Bowden!

Bowden is now reporting it was close to the original 10million that he initially wanted...

Glad we got the kid. But I am not gonna get too excited about him until he actually proves he is worth the hype & not simply yet another overvalued O's prospect.

I'm with ya, he's billy rowell to me until he gets to Bowie.

[JTrea81]

Funny how Jim Bowden breaks the news.....

He's breaking all the news of the Boras client signings.

Mr. Boras is keeping him quite informed...

[lovetoaster]

Fantastic...now I can go to bed. Welcome Manny!

Dan Connolly:

Machado signed for less than $6 million Wieters got. Second largest bonus in O's history. Still waiting on exact numbers

[Palmoripken]

This kid is almost five whole years younger than me. Jeez I'm feeling old and there's not even one O on the 25 man roster who's younger than me.
