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.

Not to mention.....he wasn’t very good at baseball

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 ?

Haven’t been following but did anyone see this from Bowden? https://mobile.twitter.com/MLBNetworkRadio/status/1075189274696396800

I have the same feeling, but also feel that if we miss on Machado we also miss on Harper as well....

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

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!
