Chicago White Sox

How the fuck was no one driving down the Dan Ryan when we did this?

No, just the official meeting at the stadium.

Over/under of meeting length at 120 minutes. What you guys taking? I’m going to say under.

I think Machado will move with a sense of urgency. For better or worse, Boras plays by his own rules. Sometimes it works out for his clients, other times it does not.

I think Machado might go sooner than that as his market is basically down to three teams and we have no idea if the Yankees will even make a compelling bid. His agent isn’t Boras and if they’re smart they should move swiftly to avoid losing a third of their interested parties.

Let’s be honest, everyone just assumes the Yankees will sign everyone and the Phillies told the world they planned to spend “stupid money”. You have to be paying a bit more attention to what our front office has been signaling and other factors (new TV deal, aging owner, etc.) to believe the White Sox are the favorite.

I truly don’t believe the Yankees will overpay for Machado when Arenado & Rendon are potentially cheaper free agents options next year. I think it will be their price or bust for him and I’d expect the Sox & Phillies to both have substantially higher offers.

Lol...Nightengale is really a hack, even Yankees fans lost some hope when they saw that “enamored” tweet.

The Sox being irrelevant doesn’t help matters, but you’re correct that money is by far the most important factor. If Reinsdorf truly won’t be outbid, the chances we land one of these guys is pretty high. We just go to hope that is the case and Jerry has a blank check on the table for these guys.

You’re probaly right, but the Phillies have been strangely quiet though.

Bob Nightengale is a legit hack.

No offense, but raBBit is both a smart dude and connected. Don’t be hating on this guy.

Jesus, what happened to that dude? Did he end up getting banned?

Seems pretty nuts to move Stanton to DH IMO.

[John] is a troll account.

Because is Hamels is a one year commitment and fills a much bigger need.

Let’s get this shit back on track. How soon after his visit with the Phillies do we start hearing some smoke on who is the favorite? My guess is the rumors heat up Friday and by Saturday we have a decent idea who he’ll be signing with.

Every Yankees fan is confident they’ll sign every important free agent.

No, it just means our TV ratings and attendance will continue to plummet and our revenue streams will shrink, which will without question impact the quality of team we can put on the field. But hey, keep playing proud victim and cheer on the Cubbies to land one of the most popular superstars in the game.

This is 100% not true and I’m shocked people can actually believe this.

? This can’t be a serious post. What Ron said isn’t “something kind of not hateful about the Cubs”. He’s legitimately rooting against the well-being of his team so he can continue posting on this message board.

Will Cubs fans continue to cheer for him? They seemed to love Chapman during the their World Series run.

He’s a Yankee if that’s the best offer. 10/$350M is my prediction for him, hopefully coming from us.
