Quin 421 Report post Posted January 3 2 minutes ago, Jose Abreu said: I'm gonna try to summarize today's rumors, both for my sanity and for those who are catching up: -A respected Dodgers reporter said that he heard from a friend of Machado that he is considering signing with the White Sox -Bucket re-appeared and said that the Sox feel really good about their chances with Harper and that the Cubs aren't a threat -Nightengale reported that the Sox have offered Machado a contract and are still in contact with Harper -WhiteSoxDave reported that the Sox chances with Machado are "good", "great", and "fantastic" between 2 blog posts and predicted that he signs with us within the next 5 days Did I miss anything significant?

GenericUserName 159 Report post Posted January 3 Imagine if we do end up signing one of these guys how agonizing the wait between it being reported and the Sox officially announcing it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTruth05 271 Report post Posted January 3 The only info contradicting info seems to be Bucket saying Sox are confident internally they can nab Bryce, but WSD seems to think the org has him viewed as kind of a longshot. That's the way I read WSD's blog at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iWiN4PreP 169 Report post Posted January 3 I said in a Machado thread about a week ago that we are getting both players. Nothing has changed since then. I was initially worried about hte Clarke report, but it made no sense since the Yankees can't compete with us financially (or at least won't compete financially) over Machado. I considered Machado as good as ours as far as 10 days ago or so. Harper, by all indications, should be ours as well. There's no other suitor outside of Philly. We're getting both of them boys and gals! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the way I read WSD's blog at least. Yep. I think people also need to remember WSD is also a homer fan, so he is going to be very positive towards their chances, but I do think he has legit sources. I’ll take it either way! Same with Bucket. When he opens his mouth, you best listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
