We don't know that this is the hold. It's speculation that and it probably isn't even that much of a factor. My God this board needs a real rumor.

Well they are only guaranteed one year. It does seem like this coach will have some kind of made up role haha

What an asshole.

Maybe they were told Bryce is waiting for Machado to sign with a team first.

True. He can be like a Zobrist-type player. Every day utility player giving guys rest.

I'm just assuming, since it is already mid-January, that they have offers out to both at this point hoping one accepts.

Yep.

"I see you guys have a need at SS. Manny Machado is a perfect fit! The Yankees signed a guy who is 34-years old, past his prime, and has only played 66 games the past 2 years, including 0 last season. They clearly wouldn't be able to make him fit."

This topic will hit 200 pages before we get a new concrete rumor. Book it.

That's how I felt yesterday. Didn't check from 12-3:30 in the afternoon and then didn't check from about 5:30-8:30 last night.

When do you think the last time he actually talked to his HS coach was? And he's basing his opinion on which team needs a SS and he clealy doesn't know the White Sox well enough to know who Tim Anderson is and that he plays SS. Everyone calm down.

Phillies will leak that the meeting went great for both sides Saturday night or Sunday trying to push Manny into making a decision.

Yep. Cash is king.

Yeah that works too. If everyone is playing well and you don't really have a need for him, deal him for something else.

If they don't land Machado (man, I really hope they do), I'd probably keep Moncada at 2B (for now) and play Rondon at 3B and see what we have with him. Just say no to Moose.

If he forces the issue that is.

Yes you are.

Yeah honestly, fans in general should give some of these players more credit when it comes to talk about being able to play multiple positions.

Offer a few extra dollars and ask "would you play 3B now?"

Just offer the most money (tack on a couple more years if they are truly offering 7 right now, tell him he's playing 3B, and be done with this.

Too many good players is a good problem to (hopefully) have.

Lmao on the basis that he has the best chance of playing SS on the Sox than on the Yankees or Phillies since they added Tulo and Segura. Literally no mention of Anderson in that article.

It's due to their shitty markets. It truly is amazing that 2 star players have only like 2 serious suitors. But that's because everyone is at the start or a year into a rebuild or near the luxury tax.

*checks WSD twitter for eyeballs* nope? Not happening tomorrow.

If i had a dollar for every time...
