I hope but I’m not holding my breath. Listening to the White Sox Talk podcast, it doesn’t seem like anything is close. Also, the Twins seem pretty confident in their chances as well. Hope the Sox pull this off
Sox do not seem to have it in the bag. This could get interesting with the Twins lurking. I would love nothing more than to see the Sox crush the Twins offer. You cannot lose Wheeler to the Twins!
I think what was most telling to me was Morosi claiming that Wheeler was still deciding whether to wait out the Cole and Strasburg markets. Doesn’t seem like anything is imminent
Go back in the thread. Someone asked him on Twitter if it was speculation. He did not answer directly. Someone DMd him and posted it. He said he was told it was happening
If the deal was in the bag, Wheeler wouldn’t be mentioned as a possibility for another team. The video also said that Wheeler is still deciding whether or not to wait out the market. “Lol using context clues is a skill.”
But someone who writes for Future Sox said he would be a White Sox player by Thanksgiving. Morosi HAS TO BE WRONG, hes already ours. Just waiting for the press release.
Yasmani specifically mentioned “following Abreu to the promised land” so I think that this may be more about rewarding Abreu and landing free agents than anything. Players love him. Look at their reactions on twitter
