You are right 1000 percent with the bias there I’m a recruiter for my company (on the side when I’m not staring at these rumors all day in my) and a full believer in the motto of first to contact first to contract motto but still having him leave without a deal eats at my core

I agree, no obligation to go to a second or third meeting if your heart is set on signing

Ugh man the suspense is killing.....if he does want to sign I wish we would have been the last team to meet him just to be able to put fresh ink on a contract versus having to honor other visits......

He did tweet right after that a photo of a suite that they were supposed to be meeting in.....hmmm

They are asking for top of the line prospects here from my understanding, I just don’t see the Sox being players for this guy

How do you guys feel about the Whitesox meeting him first as opposed to being the one to close out the meetings with him?

Doesn’t Levine just regurgitate what the other national reporters say though? History shows the Sox are cheap so it’s not far fetched to be true I just take everything that guy says with a grain of salt

I wouldn’t worry about the Harper to the Dodgers thing until you start seeing some salaries moved by them to help in the potential deal

On his Twitter page he has #familyiseverything.....hopefully that is the case for Machado as well

How does this backfire? What’s the worst that comes from this trade? We don’t land Machado and let Alonso go after the season? Either way it’s worth the try.

I highly doubt that quote from Hahn yesterday was coincidental and then bam they did exactly what he said. Either way it’s worth the shot of helping your odds

So Merkins tweet yesterday about wife’s family location makes a little bit more sense now

This one move does nothing to hurt your franchise but could mean everything if it seals the deal with Machado, you do this move 10 times out of 10....go big or go home Hahn!

It’s interesting maybe he’s just speculating.....but I’m just hoping they land one of them

Abreu isn’t gone yet? I could see them keeping both to be honest

Interesting timing for when this move was made, hopefully it isn’t a sign that the whitesox know they are out on Harper now and are doing everything in their power to grab him up and move to plan b before the meeting with Machado..:

There was a tweet put out about this being a possibility yesterday I believe

They aren’t meeting with Machado until next week is what I heard, is that the latest rumor?

Move on this regardless of what happens with Harper or Machado

Morosi and Verducci talking Whitesox on MLB network. Morosi thinks Sox will be highest bidder on Machado or Harper but whether they land either he isnt for sure

I caught that as well, something about new tv deal with a possible new network announced before spring training, interesting....new TV money!

Also he mentioned that he would be absolutely SHOCKED if that ends up happening, talked how the players are friends but the agents can’t stand each other

It was just water cooler talk, no real meat or substance behind it

Meh that was more of a lebron storyline and they were throwing it out there with the way the Sox are sitting financially in a couple years with only 5 mil on the books. It’d be nice tho

Ken Rosenthal just ended up repeating the norm as of late saying the White Sox have the money for one of those two but will they pull the trigger on a deal. Nothing new
