Chicago White Sox

I don’t know, at this point I’m not sure what to believe. Who did he follow other than YES tonight though?

Lol...it sounds like a threat the way it’s written.

It could have been his wife, she does share the account with him.

Hahn running some fat money stacks over to Miami.

Well that makes more sense...thanks for posting.

Less than 20 hours would be new information, unless the January 2nd deadline was based on Tokyo time.

Yeah, let me go call Scott and see if he can provide me some examples.

Well that sucks, although there wasn’t really anything tying him to us. That being said, I hope this is for a ton of money.

We wouldn’t keep getting fake rumors if they didn’t work. And I have no idea why the A-Rod sweepstakes years ago have any relevance when social media doesn’t exist like it did today. Things change with technology / time.

Exactly, it’s sketchy as fuck, but if it gets another $25M out of us or the Phillies it could be the most profitable follow in the history of social media.

I totally get being pessimistic, but there are a bunch of posters here that are acting like Hudson from Aliens anytime something Machado/NYY related comes out even if it’s from a questionable source.

It’s ringing some bells now ?

Come on fathom, you know that’s not happening.

This is the first thing that actually suggests there may be some “writing on the wall”, but I’m not giving up hope yet just over this.

This is the best post on this site in a long time!

I will say this, you’d think his agent would tell him not do anything revealing on social media until they’ve got something signed, sealed, & delivered. So either something is in the “finalizing” stages or they’ve stepped their plant game to another level.

I love how everyone jumps ship the moment anything negative happens.

Yup, it doesn’t mean he’s signing with the Yankees but far more concerning than Dan Clark’s report and the rumors from the random New York “insiders”.

Yup, completely serious.

What’s the Players Tribune?

Yeah, no idea what to make of this.

Troll account...no need to fret.

To Rick’s credit, he may have only been GM in name those first few years. Not that saying should give him a free press, but I think it’s clear he’s much more responsible for the direction of the club now than when he was first given the title. For better or worse we’re stuck with him and I think he deserves at least another year or two before a chance is even considered. That being said, I fully expect some major leaps from Moncada, Lopez, etc. next year or I feel like Rick must go. Hahn has refused to make changes to the coaching staff despite underperformance from the entire first wave of talent and as such he should go down with the ship if those guys don’t make significant progress next year.

I think Dombrowski through out the idea of having a deadline for moves being done (say Dec 31) and then rosters would be frozen until opening day. As for why this is happening, I think not having caps & floors is part of it, but also the group think effect of almost all GMs valuing players in similar fashions and more willing to wait out agents for most of the over 30’s guys.
