Soxbadger Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 1 hour ago, GREEDY said: I honestly wondered about the move for a little different reason. I think Dan Bernstein once said years ago that 99% of baseball players are unfaithful to their wives.... or something along those lines. He pretty much said that it was just a thing. They all cheat. Like not most, but all. And this is 100% unfair to Manny, but just judging a book by it's cover he's about the last guy I might nominate to fall in that 1%. So, is there a chance he might NOT want his brother in law around? Even if Yonder is "aware" he might not want to have to be around it. Machado is super close to Yonder. Yonder is in almost as many posts on Machado's feed as Machado's wife. He may be a cheater, who knows. But he seems to be really good friends with Yonder.

I have a friend who's brother is a coach (of some kind, we'll say) in the NHL and in their home arena, they have a spot for the wives postgame and then another spot for the girlfriends, if you catch my drift. I wouldn't say 99%, but 80% is logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Sox have the brother of his wife on the team. Not sure what is difficult to understand about that. If he decided to cheat on his wife, which many professional athletes do, it probably won't go over well with Yonder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of athletes cheat. Manny is married to Yonder's sister. I don't think Yonder would appreciate Manny plowing other women while he is married to his baby sister. Not that Manny is guilty of that, but you never know. It is worth consideration. Overall, I still think Yonder helps more than he hurts.

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I can’t believe we’ve reached the point where we are debated the better fit for Manny potentially cheating on his wife. He really needs to sign and get this over with. Not sure I want to be here for the conversation on which city is easier to dispose of a body in case Manny decides to kill someone. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Let’s be honest, if cheating is so rampant around the league, I’m guessing the White Sox did their homework on Manny and talked to some people around the league before taking on Alonso’s $9M salary. I seriously doubt a reduced ability to cheat on his wife will have any consideration on his decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Stuff Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I’d pay $300 mil to Machado myself to hear him say he didn’t take the Sox $300 mil because Alonso is to close for him to be able to cheat. Then I’ll let Hahn know he fucked up and ask for my $300 mil back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
