February 12, 20197 yr If Rawlings marketing and Twitter staff have been given the news then I think the whole world would know who Manny is signing with. Let's chalk it up to Rawlings wanting free press at a smart time.
February 12, 20197 yr 3 minutes ago, Roughneck said: Not generic. They are Manny's gloves. But black is a neutral glove color and all teams have players with black gloves. The white is more telling, though. Unless he changed gloves a few times last year, he wore that same brown glove when he was with the Orioles. Not according to the definitive google image search for "manny machado images"

If the White Sox had like Magenta in their color scheme and these gloves had magenta I'd be losing it. And if those are the actual gloves, the white can easily be changed.

Hey I understand not getting your hopes up but when you see with the Orioles his gloves were black n orange, in the WBC his gloves were red white and blue and these particular set of gloves are the color scheme of exactly 1 team and that 1 team has been linked to him and the favorite all off-season sorry that screams spoiler alert
February 12, 20197 yr When was the last time Hector posted anything himself? Seems like he just retweets a lot of posts and says his source agrees with it or not. I trust his source, just curious the last time a unique tweet was made by him in regards to the White Sox.

February 12, 20197 yr Would someone please post the picture, or a link, of Jake Burger? Please don't tell me that he has gained even more weight. He wasn't exactly svelte, to begin with. Not smart and one would think not helpful for his achilles tendon.

Manny definitely rides with the look good feel good, feel good play good mentality ha

He could have used a black glove with the Dodgers with no "clashing." So, who knows how many gloves he actually used. https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/may/27/nationals-have-stability-orioles-free-fall/ Also, you don't have to type in the word "image" if you're doing a google image search LOL.

February 12, 20197 yr Gloves? I spotted Manny Machado’s car at the auto show? #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/V7ZPBTZTAH — Luke Stuckmeyer (@LukeStuckmeyer) February 12, 2019 OK this is funny!

Those were memorial day uniforms. The Orioles in a dark color which would explain a standard black glove which by the way the Rawlings looks to be orange...

Manny definitely rides with the look good feel good, feel good play good mentality ha Regardless, orange is still the Orioles' primary color, and he used that glove in other games where the team wore their normal uniforms. And gloves are hard to break in, so he probably broke it in during spring training and used it along with a few gloves throughout the year.
February 12, 20197 yr Jay, yonder, and manny call themselves the 305 boys right? That’s why the 305 is there...

Anyway, my point was that while the black and white gloves almost certainly means Manny is leaning towards signing here, he could still change his mind and just switch gloves, anyway. Looks like he uses several throughout the season anyway.
