I don't think it's a matter of trust. I think it's that when the mainstream media describes that it took 250M to sign him, that is going to be portrayed via those outlets as having been a more recent offer/decision (when in reality 'official offer' is probably similar to 'chattered offer'). Under this, the Nightengales and the Dave's can all be "right" more or less simultaneously RN

If Philly was going stupid-stupid money this would be done by now. Our payroll is so low that we can come in just barely under their highest offer and win b/c we have the pals

Once we paid Jon Jay $4M that sealed it for me. Getting a raise off a down year. This is on the tee and the only question is the last few days of holding us over the barrel to squeeze out a little extra from us.

A good reporter leaves no stone unturned

i'm kind of in and out here but can someone kind of explain 'peavy44' briefly? just so i know how to weigh all of...whatever..that is

It would be egg on our face if it doesnt work out. Then again, we are a tank team. The 76ers did worse to get to where theyre at. Drake goddam Laroche was embarassing as all hell and unlike here that was all just pure loss, no potential for reward at all.

Grabbing a little tiny sample to suit your needs. Over time we have seen Jay have some bat to ball skills at the MLB level. If he's done-done, then fine, we'll risk little in it. Engel meanwhile not only hasnt done it at MLB level, I cant even really say i saw him do that @ MiLB level. In the minors Engel still had his monster K rates + no power schtick going on.

Jon Jay wearing a paper bag over his head is a better hitter than Engel

To really seal the deal here we gotta become the Miami White Sox. Jerry make it happen

Phil Rogers‏Verified account @philgrogers 48s48 seconds ago More #WhiteSox payroll increases to $80.5 million w/Kelvin Herrera deal. So, yes, plenty of room for Manny Machado or Bryce Harper ... or even Manny Machado AND Bryce Harper.

may your dreams be pleasant and Gload filled

Jack Curry‏Verified account @JackCurryYES FollowingFollowing @JackCurryYES When Cashman was asked if Tulowitzki signing takes the Yankees out of the pursuit of Machado, he said, "I can't say what it would take us out of, but we're re going into this w/ a commitment level to try Troy Tulowitzki at SS." Me: I still think Yanks are very much in on Machado

Dan Clark sticking to the guns of douche-ality

If we get Machado, this LA guy can call me a troll all day if he wants. He can wrap me in rice and eat me with raw fish if he wants.

More interesting than the airplane talk is that Vassegh did his radio hit on 670 The Score yesterday and seemed to imply he gets tidbits from Ned Coletti.

The way i handle this is: -Private jet for when i'm touring teams with family in tow -First class for the follow-up visit to sign my contract. That is my own personal practice, mind you.

Confirmed. Jerry apparently has gotten involved , indeed. down to the travel details even

Dan Clark has been throttled by Nightengale's latest article so that works for me on a micro level for today.

The things i like from all the events of today are this David Vassegh guy seems (1) respected generally (2) not really a fan of getting into the limelight on this

I'm standing up but have been drinking for awhile. I may be leaning.

Clearly this means Manny will be retiring.

It's funny, sox fans are shitting all over Levine but he is likely carrying out exactly the picture Chicago wants him to carry out publicly
