That seems to happen with high profile acquisitions - Moncada...Frazier...Dunn... It didn’t happen with Albert Belle

What if by a small chance this isn't fake. And you're right the culprit is someone from this message board. But it's one of the few with a source. And did the burner account to protect the source and They're identity. It almost seemed very familiar. The way they wrote it. The eyeballs again. They may even be lurking to see if we can figure it out.

Moncada- unproven talent with upside frazier- older than manny, pretty one dimensional player Dunn- much older than manny also one dimensional Machado- young, proven, 5 tool player

I can't ever recall the Sox acquiring someone like him before.

January 28, 20197 yr Lack of news from legitimate sources is causing all the attention-seeking nut jobs to emerge from the shadows with "scoop." Edited January 28, 20197 yr by CWSpalehoseCWS

Doesn’t mean he’s telling him to go there over the Sox.

It’s too bad as he seems like a great guy, but he will just be synonymous with failure if Manny goes elsewhere.

If they don’t get Machado I’m sure the Sox will do whatever it takes to not pick up his option next year or trade him by the trade deadline.
January 28, 20197 yr This might be the most pessimistic article yet regarding Manny. DVS has made it clear all weekend he doesn’t think the Sox are getting him. https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/a-machado-no-will-hurt-but-shouldnt-doom-white-sox-rebuild/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

January 28, 20197 yr Thank god for the royal rumble being tonight to occupy my time with for 6-7 hours instead of Manny

Hopefully their source is wrong or it's just the Sox using them to negotiate in the media.
