I think he had legitimate info. But it seems like all the attention and new followers influenced him, and he's now tossing out random stuff and mentioning others' rumors because he needs content to keep the following he gained. Plus, he can say "nothing has changed, Manny still likely to Sox" only so many times. There's sadly nothing to talk about. He should do what the big sites do for empty content - start tweeting out power rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Gomez source is obviously someone in the Machado camp. I do believe his 8 for 250 offer is true, I don’t believe the pirates as a mystery team is true tho, just something the Machado camp may have put in his ear to try and help drive up the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Dude has probably tweeted 50x already that the Sox are likely going to sign Manny. He's not going to get any more attention by repeating the same thing when there's no news. And he's not a douche like Dan Clark, so he won't dig in and bring attention to himself by insulting others or guaranteeing that Manny will sign here. So he's addressing random rumors from others (like the Pirates rumor) just to keep the views and followers. He got a taste of fame and he needs the attention.

caulfield12 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) https://www.12up.com/posts/6277016-rumor-dominican-mlb-insider-says-pirates-look-like-mystery-team-on-manny-machado "Pittsburgh seems to be aggressive in trying to clear payroll, which makes sense if they are going after Machado. He's the kind of star player and middle-of-the-order bat who can play shortstop for the Bucs, so there is a baseball fit here." If the Pirates somehow land Machado, the NL Central in 2019 is going to be insane. Even the Cincinnati Reds are trying to make moves to compete with the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals. Game alllllll the way on." Hector Gomez getting his name out there again. Here's a good one, lol. Pirates are the mystery team in on Machado (even though they brought back Kang, they let Harrison go)...trade Marte for Pederson, boom! Contenders. Well, if we can't beat the Pirates after they've dumped Cole, Harrison and McCutcheon...not sure what to say. Which makes it a lot less likely than the Padres (as the mystery team) being in a similar position to the White Sox (but still staring up at the Dodgers). And the Padres already signed Hosmer as well last offseason. Edited January 22, 2019 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 We can entice Beltre back out of retirement if we sign Machado and put him at SS...and dramatically overpay Adrian, lol. That way, we can claim yet another HoF player for the White Sox organization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
