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

MLB network is going to talk White Sox after the commercial we shall see what the latest rumors are

Not trusting anything a dude with that type of photoshop skills says ??

The White Sox tend to always be the favorites in doing that, however we will see how things play out I’m not going to freak out one way or another until I hear a signing is imminent

Morosi was just on fox sports radio talking Harper and Machado and mentioned there are not many Machado suitors but did link us to him numerous times in his update in regards to him. Didn’t mention anything in regards to the Sox on Harper though. Thinks Phillies land Harper and hinted at the white Sox landing Machado

It will be interesting to see how they move forward if they don’t land either of those two guys. I only mention standing still at the moment for the sake of not losing sight of the big picture. If I’m Sox management my thoughts would be I’ve been down the path of instant gratification one too many times for my liking and would like to see the younger core develop just a little bit more before dipping the toes in the free agency pool and possibly having to trade away assets for guys so we don’t deplete the farm system to where it was just a few years ago.

I would only want this payroll if we did sign a Harper or Machado. If we whiff on both of these guys there should be no rush whatsoever to speed up the rebuild process, go with what you have and move forward as planned.

To be honest both organizations do not have the best track record of bringing in Free Agents on either side of town, and I feel as if Reinsdorf has been in a few of those sales pitch before....film a video wherever you may.... Lebron and crew, Carmelo, Tracy McGrady are all NBA players that got the same type of treatment in the past with the allure of playing at the United Center and all turned us down in their own respective sport.....what makes anyone think that filming a video at the UC holds any weight or real relevance to any baseball player let alone talking about the NBA titles?

Not to be a downer and I get what you are trying to say but the Bulls championships mean absolutely nothing in this scenario

The only thing uneasy I am feeling is about the realistic chance of getting a Harper....I think that it’s awesome the Whitesox are laying everything out there on the table to get him, just highly doubt it happens and we end up with our number 4-5 choice kinda like what happened to the Bulls when they tried to go big, I know I know different sport but same ownership. Just bracing for the let down that’s all

Now this seems like more of a “Sox” move.....let’s hope he’s just a complimentary piece if they do sign him versus the “star” you bring in

As much as I would like to disagree with your comment, I am still following closely guarded trying not to get the hopes up ?

I’ll believe it when I see it. We have been used one too many times for my liking in Free Agency, not going to get sucked in this offseason

idk which show to take my daughter to this upcoming week. We went to a house show w the raw crew back in September here in the Quad Cities, personally Raw is more entertaining for myself, but my little girl loves AJ Styles and The Miz. Combine that with the titles on the line on SD and the SD crew coming to the QC for a house show in 2 months im truely torn to choose which one to go to. Any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated!
