Pure guess here: 

Kelvin Herrera.

No, I'm not ready. I don't want to steal BW's scoop. I already DID message him earlier. I would have made a new thread if I just wanted attention. 

And don't act like no one has ever posted "??" before without divulging all of the information they have. Even Buehrle Wood said "that's all I have" and then later came back with more info that a White Sox exec was called home early from holiday to address business. 

I'm just trying not to steal BW's thunder, but I also want to be on the record that I had a scoop from the same source that some have doubted from a couple of weeks ago. If BW doesn't get back to me by tonight, or doesn't think it's related, then I'll go ahead and post a new thread tonight with the scoop, considering it's possible something happens tomorrow.

Until then, feel free to ignore it. No reason to get all upset. 

"Sox have a move in place. I dont know what it is, but they have one. Guessing it will be announced after Christmas. #sources"

^This is what he said. He didn't know anything other than there was a move potentially happening. This is the second time you've said you've heard something but had to wait to hear back from your guy. Don't post unless you are actually going to share. Get the ok to say share before posting that you know something otherwise what's the point if you aren't going to share, other than having your ego stroked?

You kidding? It's 1 page back, he had more info that he JUST NOW shared.

"Sorry guys. A senior member of the white sox front office was called away from family holiday to finalize something the weekend of Christmas. That was my information, and I dont know what happened from there."

Which part of this implies he knows which move(s) the team is going to make? It seems like he knows something is going to happen but doesn't know what.

EDIT: All this being said, it's not some blockbuster move. Another reason why I didn't both making a thread for it. It would just be another piece.

Huge news or not let's hear it. Post it first and get the credit!

Saying he is expecting a move to be made and saying a senior FO person was called away to finalize something are two different pieces of information. He knew both, he only divulged one at a time.

Chili, check your PM's.

Because of all the love and attention you will get? GMAB. It's a White Sox message board. 

Once again, if you have information, post it. If you aren't ready to share, then don't share anything. It's a VERY simple equation. 

Do you not understand how one piece of information coming to fruition can establish credibility for another piece of information from the same source? 

Some people don't believe the Machado info from 2 weeks ago. This is the same source, so if this move comes true, it may make them realize that my source has aconnection. Calm down and wait for BW to get back to me, or ignore this thread. 

It's a simple equation. 

 

You have to spill it now. Just give credit where it is due. That's all.

Just share what you know and we’ll credit both of you guys tomorrow if it turns out to be true ?

David Vassegh was right, YOU'RE ALL ANIMALS!! 

 

LOL just kidding. If BW doesn't reply, I'll come back to this thread tonight to share what I got. Calm down, we're all rooting for the same team here.

What time so I can be here?

Well it’s not obviously Harper or Machado so it shouldn’t be a big deal to really say something. Unless it was something that could impact those signings I guess. 

It's probably avi or Davidson to be the closer.

Can you at least say if it’s a signing or trade right now so we can speculate?  I got another 45 minutes of work to kill.

Yeah, we have a new clown here. Nice going attention whore Chilli!

Soooo, I just got another scoop today and I am wondering if it has any relation to what Buehrle/Wood heard. Would imagine it could be announced tomorrow.

Yeah this would help my commute.

It’s either a bullpen piece, a starter, or an OF that theoretically can play CF.  My guesses would be:

• Ottavino
• Herrera
• Allen
• Pomeranz
• Gonzalez
• Adam Jones (yikes)
