Yeah we can call my Uncle Vito to mess this guy up. (Yes, I actually have an Uncle Vito)

Yeah, there was no blue check. Has to be fake at that point.

We already agreed on something. We're both White Sox fans, otherwise we wouldn't be posting here. LOL.

I approve if you mean the NFL team, strongly disapprove if you mean the band.

Sure, but if it is close enough, that is where the problem lies. If there is a 5/175 offer from the Yankees, a 7/245 from the Sox and a 6/210 from the Phillies, who does he choose? The money is equal from an AAV standpoint on all three. This is the issue I believe is taking him so long, and based on what we've heard I'd imagine that these are pretty close to the actual offers from each team.

I can't convince myself that he'd choose the Sox or Phillies over the Yankees. I just can't.

To be honest, I really don't know what to think. Lots of smoke around the Sox, but this Moustakas rumor makes me think that Machado to Yankees is possible.

I think that the reason the Moustakas stuff came out is because Machado is going to the Yankees. Otherwise, what is the point?

This tweet only makes sense if Machado is going to the Yankees and it will be announced shortly.

I clicked on the link to twitter didn't see anything concrete. Just speculation.

Never seen Beavis and Butthead? I am Cornholio. (heh heh) I am a gringo.( heh heh) I have no bunghole

It might be Katy Perry's booty hole or wetbutt23 incognito

Katy Perry is a gringo. She has no bunghole.

Bonghits for Machado

Are you allowed to share? Your track record is pretty good, I trust you. I want to know more.

I know who it is, which is why the second line was there.

I wish I was anywhere near as confident about it as you are. If you know something the rest of us don't, please tell us if you can without burning your source. Machado and Harper signing elsewhere seems as just as likely as Cody Parkey missing a GW FG to eliminate the Bears. It is the running joke nationally, and it comes to fruition. Everyone laugh at Chicago.

It depends on what you consider a substantial discount. As long as the discount is less than $40M, I'm not sure that I agree.

I don't think so either. Though if you would have asked me before the new year, I would have said Machado to the Jankees is a lock. I still have a hard time believing Machado would choose the White Sox over the Yankees. If the Yankees were actually not an option for Machado, I'd feel much more optimistic.

The Sox FO can try all they want, but if Harper and Machado really aren't interested in the Sox, and are straight up using them for leverage, then they really can't do anything. Also, it would be a really good way to piss off the Sox FO as everyone knows the last time Boras pulled this bullshit with the Sox they completely cut off negotiations with his clients for a decade. I'm not sure the Sox can afford to do that this time around, as a lot of the top talent in the draft is represented by one of these two agents.

The worst optics possible would be either Harper or Machado rejecting an extra $30M to go play elsewhere. It would actually send the message that the media narrative about the Sox is 100% true.

If the Sox don't land a big fish this year idk if they ever will.

It was intentional hyperbole.

Oh I know, but Palka in RF is beyond ludicrous. (well you can put Palka in RF, but if you do so you add a run or two to your staff ERA over the course of the season)

I can't take any lineup that has Palka in RF seriously. I just can't,
