Jose Abreu

I'm conflicted on that. I would tend to agree but his implication, both in the article itself and in his accompanying tweet, that we would go more than 8 years also tells me that there still may be a decent amount of work left to do.

Just for old times' sake, let's always remember this gem from Bruce Levine.

This means a lot more to me than the Nightengale report. He seems to think we'd offer 10 years if necessary, too.

a.) people who want the White Sox to be better b.) people who want the future of the team to develop properly

Enjoy watching him in Philly then. Beggars can't be choosers

Exactly, it's all media. You can take exception to what he does on the field but it's well-documented that he's a good clubhouse guy

His past teammates have said things of that nature about him

I wouldn't put any stock in it. He makes these statements all the time and is almost always wrong.

So Bob is saying Harper will sign with Philadelphia and Machado will sign with us? That means Harper will sign with us and Machado will sign with Philadelphia.

Eloy/Jay/Granderson would be the 2019 OF with Machado/Anderson/Moncada/Abreu in the infield. Alonso at DH, I don't care what happens to Engel or Palka

I know he'll be 38 but he has been an above average hitter for the past 5 seasons. I actually wouldn't mind him on a cheap deal if we get Machado and need a competent right fielder

That's odd given that Herrera only follows 62 people, which even for an athlete is not much at all

I don't think it actually means anything but I just found it interesting that Phillies fans are thinking it's about us and that the guy has multiple pictures of himself with Machado.

Given the amount of pictures he has with Machado, it's possible that they're friends

Stuff like this from Phillies fans is what I am referring to

It's implying that Manny has made a decision and Phillies fans don't think he would've chosen them today given that their brass spent the day in a meeting with Harper

I believe that, did you look at his Instagram? He has literally hundreds of pictures of himself with various baseball players

Seems like Phillies fans on Twitter believe that the picture Fathom posted has to do with the White Sox.

The "Congratulations, good luck" caption below the picture

Seriously. You guys wanted his info so badly, don’t scare him away before he can even post it

I could see that being the case given how much he has hinted at us and Harper this week.

Agreed. I just don't agree with the notion that they're some perfect FO who don't make mistakes given how much good talent they've given away over the years. Not to mention all their ethical issues

Also outrighted JD Martinez

That’s not even $30 million AAV. I don’t think it’s that impressive, nor anything he’d accept on the spot

Crazy how that seems like forever ago but it was only 3 offseasons ago.
