?? notice they didn’t say the Yankees, personally the mystery team is always there, mlb network was making fun of the mystery team during the winter meetings, it’s all smoke to drive up the price

There is always a mystery team, non news for now

If your sports team has had a silver spoon in its mouth for over the past 20 years, yes most people would take what they’ve had for granted and act this way, no doubt

https://mobile.twitter.com/DanClarkSports/status/1083854914327998464 at least he was a man of his word and donated some money to charity

You can say that and be 100 percent correct about Dan Clark but there is too much smoke that has been repeated almost word for word at times from what WSD has said and then other national reporters tweeting out days later the same thing he said, so I don’t think he’s throwing shit at the wall to see if it sticks. He had the Tulo deal, he’s had the mixed feelings on Machado and the Yanks front office just to name a few.

I think he was saying Machado to the Sox last week while watching his show as well so I don’t think it’s based on a source just his ever changing gut feeling

Same here, I figured orioles guy, regardless if he worked for MASN or not and wanting to be a sports writer etc, had no skin in the game to lie.

To clear up and confusion Kevin Millar did say today on intentional talk he thinks Harper to Phillies and Machado to the Whitesox

Good ol Chuck Garfien getting in on the Dan Clark roasting with his tweet I see https://mobile.twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/1083820340835483650

This and only this, they know their owner isn’t afraid to spend money, he’s done it repeatedly in the past unlike us

Although I’m all about roasting that dan Clark dude because I actually believed him too, I won’t until manny is a whitesox. It would not surprise me in the slightest if the Yankees tried to trade Andujar for some pitching then come right back into the manny sweepstakes

Gotta love some James Shields ?

Any Sox connections lately to Harper.....it seems like we’ve cooled off quite a bit on that front or are we solely focused on Machado and that’s it?

I have to admit the thread last night between 5:30 till I went to bed was really quiet, I was hoping when I woke up this morning there’d be a signing

Next thing we are going to see is the Whitesox hiring that high school coach as part of Renteria’s staff to try and trump the Phillies hiring ?

Damn I saw a couple new pages to this thread over the past hour I thought maybe there might be some news or movement.....ugh the wait continues

I’ve felt this way too, not much chatter or new info and a lot of repeated old reports, hopefully it picks up soon and is over by this weekend but I doubt it

I don’t really believe there any reason right now to be pessimistic unless you are worried about past free agency failure coming back to haunt the Whitesox. We’ve received positive news from multiple outlets that the Sox are really players in this today. I get being on edge and wanting him to be signed already but this is a waiting game we are playing right now and I have faith that RH can and will get the job done.

If you put your best offer on the table and know the Yankees won’t match a certain amount I’m not sure why you worry about manny taking it to them to match it, the whitesox offer should be far greater than what the Yankees are willing to pay imo

Highly doubt they will be able to land trout with the amount of teams bidding for his services

Encarnacion?

Everyone knows why Jon Jay was signed, him coming out and saying it doesn’t matter, it will look better saying the company line if Machado goes elsewhere because you are going to have the people with pitchforks coming out at that point regardless, no need to add even more to that mix

I’m gonna hold my pitch fork and be upset because he didn’t openly admit to trying to recruit manny like Alonso did ?. Maybe he is being honest and doesn’t have to recruit because manny is in the bag already ?‍♂️

Don’t think that work work out well for most of MLB.

Bruce Levine is just reporting on what’s already been put out there, nothing new.
