I really wonder if the position is a deciding factor and if the Sox would move Anderson to accommodate him. If they let him play short, have his brother-in-law and offer 35-37 mil I have a hard time seeing him going somewhere else.
Not sure if they'll end up doing it or not but if the new Russell stuff forces them to release him then they're going to have to find a permanent SS/2B.
Manny doesn't strike me as a guy who needs to be "the star." He strikes me as a guy who is going to take the most amount of cash on the table.
Harper on the other hand is a dude who wants the limelight.
If the Sox truly want both guys, money wont be an issue. The Sox could still potentially offer him the $40m even if they end up spending $35m on Manny. He knows the money is going to be there regardless.
That twitter account is a White Sox fan that rebranded his twitter account. It's followed by a bunch of White Sox accounts, including our own Sleepy Harold.
