Chicago White Sox

You’re right that things are getting crowded, but I don’t see Banuelos being the next guy to go. They literally just traded a minor leaguer with some potential (admittedly not a ton) to get him. I also think Covey is pretty safe given he’d be our 5th starter right now. Similar logic applies to Stephens as well. I don’t see Medeiros going anywhere either. The rest of your list makes a lot of sense to me and Cordell just might be the next guy on the chopping block. The only other guy I’d add is possibly Leury (who can easily be traded for something inconsequential) if they decide to go with a three man bench and would like to keep Rondon, who is out of options.

No, Charlie Tilson is terrible.

That doesn’t just sound like collusion, that is collusion.

It all kind of fits together. He’s leaking these fake offers to Manny and gets small real news in return like the Jay signing.

Isn’t Bauer the guy who crashed his drone into our brand new Jumbotron? If so, fuck that dude.

Sox leaking this to Bobby to keep the Phillies at bay?

$200M is a joke offer and I refuse to believe it.

I thought about flipping Anderson & Castillo, but figured Timmy should bat higher strictly from a development perspective.

If we somehow landed Machado and Harper I would go: Moncada, 2B Machado, 3B Harper, RF Abreu, DH Jimenez, LF Alonso, 1B Anderson, SS Jay, CF Castillo, C

Of all the shit out there, I tend to believe this Hector Gomez guy the most. I don’t want to jinx anything, but it really does seem like the Yankees won’t budge off a certain number and the Sox & Phillies are so far ahead that Manny has already ruled New York out effectively.

Nothing to see hear IMO.

Yeah, it really is a great outcome for us.

I think you may be off by 10 years.

I can confirm.

This is what I like to hear!!

No, that was JoeCoolMan aka Chilihead.

Good call! Didn’t even notice that. I just assumed he no longer had any followers because he’s a full of shit Orioles blogger.

Well he’s definitely changing his story, because his original tweet said offers were final and he was going with the Yankees. Yet somehow the Yankees just raised theirs despite already having him in the bag? ?

Now I almost think he’s trolling.

Which is nothing in the grand scheme of things if it improves our Manny chances in the slightest.

The Yankees being out (if true) is absolutely huge though.

We better hope Nightengale is breaking this one then.

Lol...you just don’t get it sometimes. See he had this thing called “leverage” because the White Sox wanted him for Machado reasons. He probably would have got $3M otherwise because it’s still a weak CF market.

Lol...yes I do!

I don’t know why, but this made LOL.
