Anyone else watch that video and notice Machado totally ignore Rick Rebterua on their way into the ballpark?

Yah, seemed like he didn't know who he was, or least didn't recognize him in street clothes. Which is possible.

Great, Manny's going to be benched before we even sign him.

Let's be honest, if Manny said I will sign with you if you fire Ricky, they would fire Ricky.

Ricky was hiding in the bushes waiting for the signal of whether Machado liked him or not.

That would be okay with me.

At some point in the near future this will need to be addressed.

Thankfully the Bulls are out of town.

Too bad Jim Boylen isn't available today. Manny and his wife could have been doing push ups to get back into the car.

Honestly, how good of an asset can renteria be

I think Renteria is probably a much better asset in the Machado sweepstakes than Gabe Kapler or Aaron Boone.

HA! Dave went to the park to observe and the Sox kicked him out. 

Rodon and Fulmer to Yankees for Andujar, Gray and a sweetener i.e. Kahnle?

I was all aboard the Harper train but now, I am really hoping we get Manny. He's much better and I think he fits the Sox well. Get it done Rick!

I'm not ready to give up on Rodon.  Plus there's no way Cashman would give that much for him at this point.

This is very true.

I really don't think it matters, Machado grew up in America and speaks fluent English anyway

Machado, number 13 for the Chicago White Sox. 

Bryce Harper, number 34.

Michael Kopech, sorry... 56 is taken.

There's more value to Ricky than just overcoming language barriers.  I imagine he's able to connect with someone like Machado and the wife on a level Kapler or Boone can't.

Real question: Will we connect on a 300+ million dollar level like the Yankees or Phillies can?

Jim Duquette thinks the Phillies get him.
