How many times do I have to mention it? The white sox have already offered a contract. That whole article by bob was put out there by the sox to play boras's game.

Yup, said it on MLBN and fox sports radio...

The nightengale piece/tweet was obviously something put out by the white sox imo, and most of the stuff we do that on is speculative stuff, so of course we're going to have that reaction. Morosi did say tonight that we're going to have the highest offer for either harper or machado

I think the Cubs definitely feel that way about subtracting from their team, besides Heyward of course. It's funny because I was pissed off when they got him and spent all that money for everyone else, but in hindsight it's helped us.

The dodgers aren't gonna offer 300 million imo, but even if they did I believe he would take 350 million from the white sox over that deal from the dodgers. 50 million would be a lot of money to leave on the table. Also depends on opt-outs and other stuff

Where there's smoke there's fire, ladies and gentlemen. Where there's smoke there's fire.

Harper would probably *prefer* the cubs. But he wants whoever will give him the most money. And it looks like we're the favorites to give it to him

Peavy you're nuts if you think it drags into feb. No later than mid January if anything, but should happen sooner

The whole nightengale thing is BS definitely put out there by the sox. They're just trying to play Boras's game. From the facebook group (which is reliable the leader of it has broke news before) has said that we are the frontrunners and that we've already offered a contract. White sox Dave (I know some of you guys don't like him for whatever reasons but he does have sources) said on his podcast that we've offered 350 million. Bruce knows we're working hard on harper, so this is all giving me hope.

They aren't downplaying anything either

The luxury tax hit would still be 17.5 million for next year. Unless they're able to unload kemp in that deal, they aren't saving money

Bob is so weird. He said like yesterday that they are more focused on machado

I don't know, anything I've heard that's bad about their relationship has been purely speculative and based off the fact we don't employ many of his clients. So it could be a good relationship. They definitely respect each other

It's a good point. It seems like we have to hope they aren't able to clear enough space to offer enough

It sure does. Keep it up Fathom

Do we trust Jesse rogers?

I wish, but I really think these are true

Offers have definitely made. The reason why there is no leaks is because this is going to be the biggest contract in sports history, and everyone wants to stay as quiet as can be

Rosenthal just said that the dodgers are talking about taking on Homer Bailey's contract as a way of buying prospects. Well that wouldn't be a salary clearing move

Duarte yesterday did say from an outside executive that the finalists are the dodgers, Phillies, and us

Can we just stop sending every rando who claims to know what they're talking about?

it's becoming harder and harder to defend peavy44

kenwo (I know) spoke to nightengale (I know) and nightingale said we have only a slim chance. Kurkijan said a similar thing on the sox talk podcast. I'm starting to believe them

So awesome. Never thought in a million years

No, there was no evidence that he physically assaulted his wife. His wife called 911 because he was "drunk and going crazy". Maybe not much better haha
