Chicago White Sox

I wasn’t accusing you of being the same person, you clearly understand what a comma is. I was referring your recent string of completely irrational posts.

It’s interesting that Peavy44 stops posting for the night and Caulfield comes right in to take his place.

What? Who said anything about DHing him?

So who platoons with Alonso? Seems like the only RH bench option we have right now is Rondon.

You’re a better man than me fathom, I can’t deal with Caulfield when he’s on one of his irrational Negative Nancy rolls.

There is just so much stupid in this post that’s it’s not even worth responding to with a rational response.

Dude, you have no fucking clue if that’s true.

Someone else already mentioned it, but Hahn’s comments on this trade are going to be hilarious as fuck.

Caulfield, what don’t you get about this move. This is all about the whales and not Alonso.

Oh gotcha.

Exactly, I really think this move serves two functions.

Idiotic? If we have the highest offer on the table right now for Harper, you don’t think Boras would be nervous as fuck that we just traded for Manny’s brother in law? Us being out of the Harper sweepstakes is a huge blow to Boras’ negotiationing leverage. And this is a sport in which agents & teams leak shit all the time to create misdirection or improve their negotiationing position. Trading for Alonso is a tangible move that makes zero sense outside of a potential Machado signing. If you’re Boras, how else do you process this trade?

The other thing this trade does is potentially spook Boras & Harper into thinking we’re moving forward with Machado.

I had to try to sneak him in there! But in all seriousness, the addition of Machado means Yoan in CF or Madrigal as a trade chip.

Alonso + biggest contract offer is a great way to differentiate us from the Yankees & Phillies.

Sexy as fuck: Moncada, CF Machado, 3B Harper, RF Abreu, DH Jimenez, LF Alonso, 1B Anderson, SS Castillo, C Sanchez/FA, 2B

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here.

I don’t think raBBit is saying that. From what I can tell, all he’s trying to say is the Sox pulled out all the stops to land one of these guys and if they come up short people will forget that.

100% agree with fathom. This is tremendous news.

What in the fuck!?!

Thank god for a new thread! And no fucking way this rumor is legit.

Burn this trash thread to the ground!!

Get to work bud!!

I’m just going to ask the question, but how would some random dude on reddit know about both Bour & Harper signings? Like for those of you guys already assuming this is real, what would the connection be? Unless Bour’s agent is Boras, I see none that makes any sense.

I already bought three custom made Harper jerseys for my kids for Christmas 😪
