QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 12:44 AM) Nathan Bernhardt‏Verified account @jonbernhardt again, if the White Sox are in on Machado it's because they perceive that whatever they'd be giving up wouldn't threaten their rebuild. It means something like a Carlos Rodon/Avisail Garcia package https://twitter.com/jonbernhardt/status/941185191451774976 I’d be ok with Avi going. Rodon is still here for a couple of years, unless he fires Boras.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 12:45 AM) That is more stupid than the Shields trade, and that’s saying something. Any more than Fulmer and I will be furious. This is the Samardzija mistake all over again. This team will never learn. Correct. I’m hoping we are all wrong and it’s who we aren’t expecting, lower price than what is being reported....

Here’s a thought.... it’s not Kopech or Giolito. It’s Alec Hanson. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit, but I wouldn’t like it.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 11:50 PM) Susan Slusser‏Verified account @susanslusser Follow Follow @susanslusser More From the great @dgoold, comments from Mike Matheny that make it clear Cards would like to help Piscotty get back to the Bay Area. Piscotty’s mom was diagnosed with ALS this year: Good on them. Classy move. Sometimes sports just aren’t all about business.

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 12:22 AM) If our front office makes this move I wouldn't mind if it's Giolito. Moncada, Abreu, Machado, Jiminez, Avi would be lethal. Gio would probably end up as our 4 starter anyway and we have guys who can fill that spot. If not we'll have the money and assets to trade for quality starting pitching. We are rebuilding to be a long time contender, not to say we have good prospects with potential and win farm system rankings. At some point we have to acquire great proven talent if we want to consistently win. The Sox can also develop pitching quite well. Position prospects they can’t, hence why we dealt for many. Think of it this way, if Gio is the headliner, we pretty much get Machado, Lopez, Dunning for Eaton and ?.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 12:21 AM) Bob Nightengale‏Verified account @BNightengale The #Whitesox not only have made a strong bid for #Orioles 3B Manny Machado, but actually have made the best offer of the dozen offers the Orioles have received https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/941191140665122816 👀👀👀. Hold onto your butts!!!

Would prefer to deal Gio over Kopech, but this HAS to be contingent on getting an extension done. Who knows, maybe they just leaked those names for the heck of it and they really aren’t keen on dealing either one.

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 11:51 PM) Rosenthal: Machado in Chicago? White Sox are serious suitors for the Orioles star Full article on The Athletic, but the site is being wonky right now. QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 11:59 PM) @BNightengale 52s Yes, the Chicago #WhiteSox indeed have made strong bid for #Orioles 3B Manny Machado as #Orioles field trade offers, as @Ken_Rosenthal said 👀👀👀

Honestly, WSD could just be doing it for attention again. I’ll keep refreshing Twitter, but I’ll wait for RaBBit to say something for me to believe all this hocus pocus.

QUOTE (wrathofhahn @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 07:41 PM) Agreed. Also his agent is Boras he almost always convinces his clients to take the highest offer. His agent is Dan Lozano. Same guy that got Pujols his deal, iirc.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) @whitesoxdave: PSA: DMing me for scoops won’t work, just sit back and enjoy the ride 👀

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 07:33 PM) Possibly but why would the Orioles do that Again, it’s in a perfect world. I highly doubt that’s the price, but would that be worth the risk?

QUOTE (ChicagoHeel @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) @inccarceratedbob BREAKING MLB NEWS** Source: Several offers on table for #Orioles Machado Teams that are confirmed that made offers so far #Cardinals #WhiteSox #Yankees #Phillies #Giants No leaks of offers or if O's are likely to accept any as of yet.. talks fluid #IBN ICB has been trolling for years.

Hypothetical here: Would you do Rutherford and someone like say, A.J. Puckett for Machado? Let’s say in a perfect world, the O’s accept this offer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 07:05 PM) So we should expect 8 eyeballs later 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 05:01 PM) Good lord. Seriously? I would think so, because, in my opinion, I think Yelich is the better player than Eaton. Although, the Marlins are desperate and desperation causes short sales.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 07:02 PM) My opinion is he found out Sox actually put an offer in You have a great point, Fathom. It is only one eyeball, after all.... WSD usually goes nuts with them.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 06:58 PM) I hope he isn't trolling us. Never know, could be about Abreu or Avi too. If I was a betting man, which I’m not, I’d bet that it’s all in on Avi being dealt. Don’t think we’ll find a price that outweighs the benefits of having Abreu. Plus, Abreu is Hahn’s baby, it was his first big signing as a GM.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 06:51 PM) Well there goes my night https://mobile.twitter.com/barstoolWSD/stat...107991432105991 Hold onto your butts and it’s happening a year early?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 12, 2017 -> 09:39 PM) I think this is Kenny. You never know these days. Both are bold, kind of tricky to pinpoint what is really true and what isn’t. This really should be the move we make a year from now, not at this point in time, unless he came at a stupidly low price, which he will not.

Nothing to see here. Hahn is just seeing what Machado wants on the open market.... or is he? Rick Hahn is a madman and has unpredictably huge stones when it comes to these things. He knows the objective.

I’m down for both! This is awesome!

I honestly think a Fulmer for Brinson trade makes a ton of sense for both sides. I’m still not sold on Fulmer being a starter.... I think he has the stuff to be a lights out closer, though.
