This is like house hunters MLB, 3 teams, two of them are favored by the couple for different reasons and then there is the third.....which do they choose ?
Okay so after I watched the video I just think Thome highly disagreed with his comment on everyone wanting to be a yankee, I didn’t get a sense that it was a smirk like I know something you don’t know....Thome playing is close to his vest. I thought he was very down the middle in that segment.
Calm down people we all knew this was going to happen, same stuff is going to happen tomorrow as well. Until one of the main national media break a signing everything else is just speculation, no need for the doom and gloom just yet
Either it’s a foregone conclusion he’s signing there or he is just doing his due diligence on the other meetings and signing with us like the report said the other day....just my opinion. I believe I read somewhere on twitter that Hal Steinbrenner’s mother’s funeral was today as well so maybe that’s why it was so short ?
That makes the two of us, the level of stupidity about he’s going here or he is going there that is going to be posted will be ridiculous and no good news about the Sox with him will be posted until Friday night or Saturday more than likely.
The back and forth game is awesome! These next two days are going to be hell.....with all the Yanks to sign Machado rumors soon here to come tomorrow and then on Thursday with all the Phillies rumors as well. I’m trying to stay even keel with all of this and might just turn off the Internet until like Saturday ?
Yeah that and it was posted 3 hours ago, idk by now I would imagine someone in the National media would pick up on something like this pretty quickly especially with the meetings being held today....
I agree, if you sign both of those guys then trade em while you got them but in my opinion it’s just hard to let go of any of them right now knowing you may need all 7 to find your 2 with our track record
7 prospects, doesn’t mean they hit on all of them though, I have seen too many position players turn into busts from the whitesox to be able to count on any of them outside of Jimenez
People won’t believe it until they land a big fish, there will always be that stigma that the whitesox are cheap because of past history. Ownership isn’t going to get the benefit of the doubt until that happens.
I personally hope/have faith it happens but we will see.
I agree I am just worried about the Yanks blowing him away with the allure of playing for the Yankees since he’s always wanted to do that more than anything the Phillies could offer
