Hearing nothing close with White Sox. Just talks here. And they won’t be trading top prospects for one year of Machado. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/940753574082105344

Market for #WhiteSox's Avisail Garcia is heating up, and Leury Garcia is appealing to some teams as well https://twitter.com/670TheScore/status/940755173131079680

I have a feeling the White Sox really want and are hoping to trade Jose Abreu but aren’t going to budge from their asking price https://twitter.com/barstoolWSD/status/940737491669278720

Have learned never to say never, but 3 people who would be involved for #Yankees #Orioles said either no way on a Machado trade or haven't heard that as a real possibility. Don't think this version of NYY would trade big prospects for player 1 yr from free agency. https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/940729326231748608

Just met w Duquette as a media group. He met with several teams about trades. Some specifically about Machado. Said they are listening. That the focus is on having the best team in 2018. That may or may not include Machado. https://twitter.com/danconnolly2016/status/...707524612935680 Duquette certainly didn’t sound like someone hell-bent on keeping Machado. Will listen to Best offers. Wouldn’t put a percentage on keeping Machado but said he’d like to keep him obviously. https://twitter.com/danconnolly2016/status/...707830071480320 Duquette on Machado situation: “Let’s see how this develops. Manny’s got a lot of value to our club .” https://twitter.com/danconnolly2016/status/...708304485060609 The bottom line with Machado is this: Duquette sounds more likely that he will deal away Machado than he ever has. That’s a significant development. Whether they do or not is a completely different story. But the wheels are definitely turning https://twitter.com/danconnolly2016/status/...710776335151104 Forgot to tweet out a biggie. Duquette said there have been no negotiations with Machado on a long-term extension this offseason. Not since they explored it a while back. https://twitter.com/danconnolly2016/status/...713224231702530

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Dec 12, 2017 -> 05:26 PM) Keep in mind Yanks have Torres, Frazier, Andujar, Sheffield to spare Torres and anfujar could be filling the open spots for the Yankees now. They probably aren't available.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 12, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) Money talks. I think he follows the money (Boras client). If money is very similar if not even, then I would think he would go to whichever team plays him at SS/best chance of winning. He's not a boras client

Pat Neshek has 2 multiyear offers in 16M plus range and should have a deal in next day or 2 https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/940329126497542144

The Pirates are willing to listen to offers for Gerrit Cole; the Yankees and Pirates match up well for potential deals at this juncture, as sources confirm; Brian Cashman and Neal Huntington have an extensive trade history. Time will tell. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/940328475730350080

https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2...GwVN/story.html Still talk of red Sox being interfered in abreu.

Red Sox still linked to #WhiteSox slugger Jose Abreu, but keep an eye on Cardinals. @scotgregor: https://t.co/zObvTOxJTk https://twitter.com/dailyherald/status/939661213394280449

#DBacks also out on Ohtani, per source. Teams that have yet to acknowledge outcome include #Cubs, #Angels, #Rangers, #Padres. Possible indication they’re in; not confirmed. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/937475152023040000

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 05:56 PM) But whoever signs him will surely extend him to a huge deal after a few seasons That's going to depend in what MLB says

the #Mets also were told they are out on Ohtani, the Post has learned. https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/937467640192303105

Last I heard this afternoon, the Padres had not yet been informed whether they are in or out on Ohtani. https://twitter.com/sdutdennislin/status/937463285829419009

Can confirm that Ohtani and reps will be meeting in L.A. face-to-face with some team reps next week. Have to begin paring down, Have until Dec. 22 to sign. @JeffPassan 1st https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/937127012761767936

Rick Hahn on his strategy approaching Winter Meetings Dec. 11-14: "I would characterize our strategy as secretive." https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/936698337675431936

CWS submitted presentation for Ohtani. Hahn: "Despite the fact we realize the odds are long given the competition and other restrictions placed upon our ability to sign the player, we are committed to exploring every potential avenue to make this club better for the long term." https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/936699905330040838

New posting system with Japan ratified, opening the door for Shohei Ohtani to be posted and sign with an @MLB club by Dec. 22. https://t.co/PexjAzDAHo https://t.co/O8cOpFrNYE https://twitter.com/MLB/status/936673582981185536

Shohei Ohtani development: Multiple @MLB team execs believe Ohtani may actually prefer to sign with a club that doesn’t already have a Japanese star; Ohtani’s camp has not commented on that. @MLBNetwork https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/936600677220003841

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 03:22 PM) I have to imagine they are also looking at all of the Braves kids that just got set loose. To officially remove any doubt... #Angels GM Billy Eppler: "The money acquired in this deal was with an eye toward Shohei Ohtani and the pursuit of him as a player for us." https://twitter.com/JeffFletcherOCR/status/...389062490963968
