Yes, we are trading you to the Marlins board for cash considerations

I get that but the eyeballs didn’t make it seem like it was close to me. The national coverage yesterday and Bob, Buster and Marino alluding to the Sox being the favorite only for it to change later the same night is what is making me feel this way.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Sox were given a number that would quickly end negotiations. I think the same happened with Grandal and they met it.

Seems to me that the White Sox overplayed their hand and let another team get involved (Phillies). Everyone is going to say it’s an agent ploy so on and so forth but we saw what happened last year.

If it goes to Corbin territory, I won’t be mad if the Sox miss our. I just hope that they have a great plan B and don’t just fold after missing their target

Also, the fact that Buster tweeted that at 4am seems to imply that negotiations are ongoing and can end any minute

Buster listing the Sox as “also involved” now is concerning to me. It seemed like he was implying it was a done deal earlier. Now they are just listed as “also involved”, shows me that they have probably fallen behind.

The Teorey kiss of death

Lol “First off I love Jerry Reinsdorf”

Jason Kinander and Clinton cole

Or how about: “this just seems like a last ditch effort to get the Sox to up their offer. This is ending soon” at any hint or tweet that another team might be interested

How long until all the local Chicago writers report that the Sox offer is “nowhere near $100 mil and is closer to 4 years 62 mil”

Seeing a couple tweets claiming that Michael Kay said the Sox are the front runner for Wheeler on his show

Wheeler to the Cubs confirmed.

If this Lemonade is to be believed, Blackmon would be amazing

FAKE SMOKE IS BETTER THAN NO SMOKE 0 followers lol

Sorry for posting this guys, based on his other tweets he seems like a fraud

who the heck is this guy

Hopefully the Wheeler domino falls soon

It really seemed pointless to have him on. He didn’t make it seem like anything was close with any team. He also didn’t seem to be using this as leverage. Just weird to have him on.

Nothing earth shattering on the podcast. Cole Hamels has heard from half the teams in the league. The Sox have called and said they have other players they want to sign first but they would like to circle back and explore a contract with him. Hamels said he would love to play for the Sox and feels like he fits very well in their rotation. He also said if he had the opportunity he would return to the Cubs.
