Sox and a Prayer

So does this mean A-Rod is our next acquisition?

I interpreted it as the Sox wanted to wrap it up.

Sorry, was working midnights - needed to sleep. Joe laurenzano shared this. He's the admin for the sight. It's from Friday night but I just noticed it late last night. And it was up all weekend. They're talking about all the same stuff there that we are here. Hatgate, mystery team, the pederson trade.

FWIW, the admin for the Whitesox Exclusive site over on Facebook says talks between Manny and the Sox are fluid and he can confirm they would like to get it wrapped up by Soxfest. I thought I saw on Twitter from the kid that scooped the Pederson news that the Sox would like to get that done this week too. Maybe from someone else on Twitter? Sorry. Alot of Dodgers fans want Abrue though. So potentially could be a big week for the pale hose

So now we have 2 different threads stalling. Could really use a new tweet, rumor or nugget. Last Sunday night things took off regarding Manny, Pollock, Gio.

Idk. Is someone tweeting something?

No, I was waiting too. Unless I missed it. He did tweet out about Pederson though.

Also, why would the Dodgers want to do this? It doesn't really help them financially - and for what a couple of controllable relievers?

So then Hill isn't part of the trade? Interesting. Still going to need a starter.

I do feel better about that starting 5 than what we threw out there last year.

Wow. Just wow.

So what's Hill and Peterson's salaries?

Yeah I believe the Dodgers are talking about these moves to facilitate Pollock rather than Harper.

Engel can't hit righties or lefties

Chili are those the names being mentioned in the rumor or because we're throwing them around here for discussion?

I think they've talked about moving him around. Even first base.

I would imagine that Bryce Bush isnt to far from being a top 30 prospect.

Oh I hope not. The kid is raw but talented. He could be another Tatis jr. Or a close version like when we traded Tatis. I just think he could come back and haunt us.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that. There would be a relationship. Ex-teammates.

Yes it is! I'm guessing since Pollack wants to marry years. Hopefully it doesn't cost alot.

Don't the 3rd year offenders also lose draft picks or is that the next year?

Yeah, and it could backfire on them. I hope Colorado extends him in the middle of the season!

Yep, agreed.

I don't think this changes anything. Heyman is reporting what Manuel Machado is saying through Hector Gomez's tweet (Which was posted this morning). The team that "probably less think about" is a little ambiguous. If he's speaking generally it very well could be the Sox. I really don't think it's a new team. Hector Gomez posted last night his opinion when someone asked who he thought Manny was signing with - "the Whitesox." But we had hatgate going on. So......

They are a very deep system. Definitely have the prospects to pull this off.
