Jose Abreu

I meant on the tweet itself

I love how all the replies are people who find it funny, and then there's Peavy44 taking it literally and getting angry

I can see this happening too

Random Reddit rumor saying Machado to White Sox will be confirmed tomorrow

Is Theo Epstein really a great judge of someone's character...?

Because nobody cares what a bunch of east coast blowhards think

Uncle Gio hustles more anyway.

Listen to it again then

I interpreted it as in general but not sure. This all starts around the 36:10 mark of today's episode

Exactly. This is an aggressive, all-in strategy, and those are the strategies you need when you're courting a generational talent.

He elaborated and said he predicts the winning bid to be more like 8/270

I should clarify, I think the contact said to hold off on tweeting it for a few hours or something like that

On RLR today, Dave said that the Sox current offer of 7 years, 245-250 million currently has us in the lead for Machado, but his contact told him not to tweet it

Not sure if you missed it but I was the first to give you props in this thread

Thanks for refuting your own point, as the only player with a higher OBP the past 4 years for us is Abreu. Thus, this is indeed exactly what the team needs, to quote you.

If we're doing this, I'd go Jay Moncada Machado Jimenez Abreu Alonso RF FA Castillo Anderson

It’s easy to cherry pick OPS for a guy who doesn’t hit for power and ignore that he’s already our best OBP player on the whole team, I guess

Perfect. Nothing to complain about, clear upgrade offensively and a small commitment

And Jon Jay is precisely the high OBP/low strikeout guy we need right now, Machado ties aside. He would've led the team in OBP last year (.330).

Does this mean you're signing with the White Sox too?

Not to mention we have way more $$ to offer

I was wrong- thanks for sharing this scoop
