Would you consider these conditions that likely are going to lead to a strike worth it, if it's creating a situation where the White Sox land Machado/Harper?

George Jacobs

Yes we will someone will throw something at the wall to get people embedding his tweets everywhere.

Being media relevant is overrated

Wishful thinking at best to assume this FO is that smart

I suppose the logic is that they wouldn’t bother fielding an offer if they weren’t beating the sox

I would love to think Hahn and Kenny are outsmarting everyone buuuuuut...

That’s when the Harper thread starts

Wouldn’t it behoovd then to get inside info?

I don’t think there’s a shot they outbid philly for him. And if Harper goes to the nats not sure they can outbid for machado

This is all starting to feel like the Sox have lost control of the situation and some team, maybe the Phillies idk, who has been sitting quietly is going to jump up and get him

If the best offer they have for him isn't the best offer available, I will be furious that they wasted my time.

Thaaaaaaaaat's a shame

That would be such a horrible way to lay the groundwork.

It doesn't matter if they get him. But if they don't, the perception is automatically going to snap to they were to cheap for the hundredth time. That's something of a problem. Maybe not a huge problem, but certainly a problem.

Interesting to see the way Kenny ranks the beat guys

He raises a a great point of the optics of all this headspinning. Even if it's not remotely true I get very irritated over how adamant these reports from the local guys are. Almost feels like I'm being chided for getting my hopes up.

This process is so incredibly dumb

clearly was speaking with the White Sox late into the evening last night and is continuing as we speak.

Pretty sure that is completely infeasible. If you don't meet the deadline who gets punished? Player? Team? Both? Good luck on getting either party to sign up for that.

With a whole lot of absolutely nothing going on

If the Nat's get harper then all bets are off wiith Machado. I just really don't think the he's going to the Nats

I see zero chance Machado comes close to 325.

That MLB tweet got taken down. Probably should not have come from an official mlb account

I'd put my money on Bob tbh
