Chicago’s lowball offer is the only one that has been made public. The details of the other alleged offers aren’t known.
Machado’s father also hinted that there is a mystery team that might swoop ij and sign the high profile free agent.

MLB Insider Jon Heyman is also hearing that there is a mystery team who may take Machado off of the free agent market with the amount of money they offer.
Have heard there is indeed a mystery team in Manny derby, and also recently heard that team had the high bid (impression also was that the surprise team wasn’t necessarily his preferred landing spot but maybe $ will decide) https://t.co/Im9JgVyPWQ

All of this is taking place after Machado was spotted working on his game in a White Sox hat.
