You give it a couple hours? Try couple minutes.....the first message is going to be thank god we landed the whale, time to move on and put the press onto Harper!
Doubt it gets announced at SoxFest but it would be a huge splash/surprise if they did, as far as ticket sales that is going to happen no matter what if they sign him.
I don’t think there is an amount at this point that people will decide is acceptable to pass up on him and not riot, pitch forks be damned if the Whitesox do not land him. Fans don’t care it’s not their money and want the Sox to land a star for once
I hope to god you are right, worse case scenario for me is the mystery team, if true, which I highly doubt it is comes in from left field and swoops him up while JR and RH are playing f*** f*** games with them.
I think it’s an obvious plant because why would he say the mystery team isn’t his preferred destination but then basically say but money talks like it’s telling the Sox to pony up some more $$

there is this as well stating that manny is quietly waiting for the signing to occur.....so is it a done deal, just waiting for announcement or what?
Yes, if he isn’t signed by then I think it would be in everyone’s best interest to keep him away from the pitch forks.....poor guy, terrible first impression of our fans/media if it goes down like I think it would
