Jose Abreu

Charles T. Cat!

If SoxFest comes around and these whales are either still unsigned or one has signed elsewhere, I would be surprised if Hahn even honored the commitment to show up. And I wouldn't blame him

It would also be great if they could somehow get rid of the early 20th century Klansmen who are in there

Some groundbreaking information.

FWIW he has tweeted out an emoji or two for every single division in baseball. Just part of the MLB The Show ad campaign.

This is completely unprecedented territory and everything I thought I knew about free agency and baseball negotiations is being questioned today.

Gomez doubling down on it (twice today, actually) is just as meaningful to me

Hector Gomez saying that when the signing is official, we'll know which source was correct. He seems pretty confident to me.

The offer is 6/68 obviously

Basically he tweets out a ton of rumors/signings based on popular predictions, about 33% of them end up being correct just because they're educated guesses, and people who don't know much about him remember the ones that he was right about and then assume he has legit sources because of it.

People may laugh at this but it actually would explain a lot about how the Sox have approached this offseason and it's financially viable. That said, I doubt it happens, but if this is true regardless, kudos to the front office for the foresight (and hopefully at least partial execution).

In case you didn't know, that's Bucket who replied to you so I would probably just take what he says as a fact.

To their credit, they have since moved on to being enraged that we traded Kevan Smith

How DARE the front office not leak the terms of a confidential negotiation to the public so that message board users can be content?!??!

I said the same thing the day the Dodgers and Reds made that trade and everyone lost their minds but this is a lot of past tense for someone who hasn't picked a team yet

John Jay was an American statesman, Patriot, diplomat, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, negotiator and signatory of the Treaty of Paris of 1783, second governor of New York, and the first Chief Justice of the United States.

I'll guess 301.

There are a lot of ways one can read into that (probably purposely) vaguely worded tweet but the one interpretation you seem to get every time is that this process is almost over.

Is this the scoop you guys wanted?

Yonder Alonso added to the lineup

Nightengale, Merkin, DVS, Garfein, Levine, a few hours from now: Per a source, the White Sox are NOT putting a full court press on for Machado, nor do they have any edge. Their pursuit has been described as a "half court press", or by some, as little as a 2-3 zone.
