Just trying to factor in the importance of landing a big fish with drawing back interest and new fans, if Machado comes to us and Harper goes to the Cubs do we get outshined by them and move the needle at all? I get harper is the biggest of the two, it would kind of suck in my opinion

So how would everyone feel if let’s say the White Sox land Machado but the cubs somehow land harper? How are we feeling about it all?

I’m about to enjoy some myself! Merry Christmas everyone!

A big if there, unfortunately I don’t believe any of these reports, I think just a week or so ago there was reports that the Sox weren’t prepared to spend as big as people were expecting. All of these tweets and reports, including that one on the White Sox is posturing.

#2 World Series or bust....if you can’t close the big deal it doesn’t matter anyways.

I agree, I want to be a believer that we get one but have my reservations based on our past history. I also get how everyone would like to tell the national media to go screw themselves but in all fairness the White Sox have no one to blame but themselves for being in this situation, not the media.

That’s one of my worries, the Cubs finding some sucker to take on Heywards contract

There are plenty ABs to go around for him in the outfield right now.....Alonso and Abreu is not going to affect that

I’m still not sold on Palka and at the end of the day I don’t think he will be around or if he is won’t be a factor when the time comes for us to be contenders

Yep, with Jimenez coming up and if moncada can finally put it all together we should have a pretty decent lineup with or without Machado/Harper

Let the life support run for another week or so....at least now I know I won’t have to refresh every 5 minutes and can sit back and wait until January to see what happens

I wish I could say I agree with you man, but the light seems to be dimming quickly on this one....

Either way he’s still getting paid, someone will take a flyer on him come spring training

Because now that he is waived he can go sign with anyone he wants to, that’s why

Welp....no harper.....and then there was one

Speaking of nuts, I think if a signing doesn’t happen soon my wife just may cut mine off lol

Yeah we haven’t really seen anything leaked about any of the other moves we pulled off this offseason so maybe that’s a good thing

Man I was really hoping the rumor mill would start churning today......instead only what we’ve already known and everything else is dead silent.....

If Machado does go to the Yankees it would be the worst case scenario as the Phillies then throw the stupid money at Harper and we are left sitting holding the bag......

I’m trying to stay level headed about all of this but it’s seemed like the whitesox have been in the back burner as far as the rumors go lately, which could be a really good thing

You gotta have fun with it man, no need to be all sad panda because we arent hearing the rumors that we all would like.

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 ?

Here I thought there were rumors swirling as I missed out on like 2 pages of comments.....just to find that it’s bickering back and forth ??

I’ve been out of the loop most of the day, what’s the latest and greatest rumor? Is it doom and gloom time?

Either way I think we will know pretty quickly if we are in or out with having Alonso on the roster
