Chili has no sources is not personal attack lol

“The White Sox met with Machado for three hours on Monday at Guaranteed Rate Field before several stops around the city. The Yankees had an hour-and-a-half sit down with Machado before dinner Wednesday night in New York.”

FWIW, on today's WS Talk Podcast, Chuck Garfien puts the Sox chances at 30% for Manny.

Well I put it at 33,3% SMH

This has also gone on long enough.  Cut out the personal attacks guys. 

That’s not a personal attack. He’s wanting a troll gone.

At least this is a distraction from all the chaos in the country/world these days, so there’s that.

And nearly everyone’s going to be completely burned out by the time this is all over if it drags into late January somehow.

Poor AJ Pollock has completely disappeared from the map while this is playing out.

I actually have the day off today, but I've been busy entertaining my brother's rugrats.

But even still, I've received 0 info since Monday from my source.

This isn’t a discussion, and yes we will consider saying a person should be banned as a personal attack.

I want the Sox to sign him too.  

Here I thought there were rumors swirling as I missed out on like 2 pages of comments.....just to find that it’s bickering back and forth ??

He doesn't have a source anyway, so ignore it.

He makes it very difficult to ignore. And I am well aware he doesn’t have a source.

Definitely only interesting if we got him at a solid discount.  If he's still barking up the $80m/5 tree, no way.  Someone will fold and cough up the cash though (looking at you Philly!)

I wonder if Pollock could be a guy that gets a Moustakas-type deal?

I doubt it.  Someone is bound to blink on that.  Atlanta is still looking for outfield help along with a number of other teams.

 

Worst case scenario he gets what McCutchen got.

Phillies too even if they miss out on Harper and Machado.

Yup, Hererra was pretty brutal in center.

On Monday Kaplan said that the Sox won't be outbid for one or the other and that while both guys are fine "in the room," Machado is better.

Kaplan has also said that Girardi would be the next Cubs manager and that they wouldn't be outbid for Tanaka. Like with Bruce Levine you have to take what he says with a large bag of salt.

Plus Kaplan is such a massive homer, I think his opinions affect his insight.

Players really got played thinking the lower compensation will help. Teams feel just as reluctant for QO players as before.
