I told Manny to please sign with the Sox on his IG Live just now. Hopefully he'll listen.

My gut feeling is that the Padres are only being mentioned so Lozano can squeeze more money out of the Sox.

Marwyn Fernandez LOL

Edgar Allan Machado

Roses are red Violets are blue I want Manny Machado to sign with the White Sox And so do you

The weather right now is hotter than the hot stove.

I would like to see him not be the worst starting pitcher in all of baseball. Baby steps.

I always assumed Machado would sign first, but maybe Harper/Boras are tired of Lozano's shit and just want this to be over already.

Incarcerated Bob is just as bad as Dan Clark. Both throw a bunch of shit at the wall and hope it sticks.

Harper going to Philly would be great for the Sox. I don't really think San Diego is all that serious about him so he could conceivably fall in our lap.

Imagine the collective meltdown in this thread if the Sox don't get Machado...

Ultimately I think all of us are just cranky that nothing has happened yet and the "I know something but won't tell anyone" mentality that is rampant both here and on Twitter is just throwing fuel into the fire at this point.

I don't think anyone is asking for these insiders to post every minuscule tidbit of what they know. It's more of the fact that these people make it very clear that they have "insider sources" but refuse to share any of that information when people ask them for details. It just comes off as a grab for attention, at least to me.

Well no, but it ticks me off when people boast about having inside information only to go off the grid when someone asks what they know. To me, there's no point of someone sharing that they know something if they aren't willing to elaborate at all.

What is the point of anyone saying they're an insider or have sources or post eyeballs if they don't tell anyone what they know? Is it purely to brag? I genuinely don't get it.

If I wasn't so emotionally invested in this team, I wouldn't even care anymore. I am so beyond tired of thinking about this day after day after day. It's exhausting.

Realistically how much longer can this go on? Another month? Opening Day? Until all of us are in nursing homes?

I just hope they don't get rid of the $1 hot dog Wednesday's any time soon. I take advantage of those as much as I possibly can.

I think this Padres rumor is Lozano's way of trying to squeeze more money out of the Sox. Admittedly it's hard to comment on this topic since we don't know what the Sox are offering and what Machado's side wants. But at the end of the day, it's all a moot point if the Sox end up signing him which I think there's still a good possibility of happening. It's just becoming increasingly hard for me to stay patient.

Hypothetically, let's say the 8 year/$250MM offer is in fact what the Sox are offering. And let's say Machado's side wants $280MM. Is saving $30MM really worth the risk of him potentially not signing here? Obviously it's a different story if Lozano's asking price is ridiculous, but I'm more inclined to just give the guy what he wants if his demands aren't insane. The Sox NEED Machado. He doesn't need the Sox.

If it boils down to it, yes I would rather give him what he wants even if it meant overpaying than not getting him. Maybe waiting it out is the best strategy but I feel like that opens up the possibility of another team swiping him from underneath us.

Not giving him what he wanted weeks ago to get the deal done when it seemed like no one else was seriously interested in him. Now they've waited for such a long time that other teams are entering the fold again. I get not wanting to overpay but I think Hahn overplayed his hand.

This is what I feared. Allowing other teams to get in the mix because the Sox were sitting on their hands for so long.

I wanna throw up.
