Not only did they not realize that the account lacked a blue check mark, but they wrote a whole article on the ordeal and still didn't notice, not to mention they failed to realize that if it were real, other people would've talked about it in the last 3 hours. Just puzzling all around Wow, they obviously pulled the article which sucks because I would have loved to had read it...lol.

I don’t really believe there any reason right now to be pessimistic unless you are worried about past free agency failure coming back to haunt the Whitesox. We’ve received positive news from multiple outlets that the Sox are really players in this today. I get being on edge and wanting him to be signed already but this is a waiting game we are playing right now and I have faith that RH can and will get the job done.

January 11, 20197 yr Some have suggested the longer it goes on the better it is looking for the Sox but I am of the opposite opinion. The longer it goes on the more it seems Manny really wants to go to NY and is just waiting for the Yankees to make a good offer he could accept.

That's why I keep the bar low.

January 11, 20197 yr Just imagine working in the White Sox marketing department...they will have either the easiest job in the world (or at least fairly easy) or the hardest job convincing anyone to buy season ticket packages or corporate sponsors to jump back on board the bandwagon, depending on how all this plays out with Machado and Harper. Three months of almost unabated excitement and anticipation, or the Evil Eye of Sauron descending on the fanbase. Edited January 11, 20197 yr by caulfield12

January 11, 20197 yr 3 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: What did the fake Passan tweet say and what did SSS write accordingly? Really wish I didn’t miss this article. It's just a tweet saying MM is nearing a 6-year, $210M deal with the Chicago White Sox. It's Jef Passan with one f, and it has 5 followers. It's very easy to find. I'm refraining from posting it here. SSS's article pretty much posted this tweet with a brief blurb about how a signing is near. SSS then deleted it after being informed he was sourcing an obvious fake. Edited January 11, 20197 yr by DirtySox
January 11, 20197 yr Well, doesn’t seem like anything else will happen tonight. See you guys tomorrow.

If the front office can not deliver, I think they will be very hard pressed to convince fans that this rebuild will actually work. I always try to remain optimistic, but this is a pivotal moment for the franchise that they cannot let slip away.

January 11, 20197 yr 7 minutes ago, Orlando said: Eerily quiet right now. The calm before the storm. I’ve felt this way too, not much chatter or new info and a lot of repeated old reports, hopefully it picks up soon and is over by this weekend but I doubt it
January 11, 20197 yr Regardless of what happens at least we know the Sox gave it a hell of a shot. The only thing they could do to win outright is offer way too much money. Personally I think We get him. I don’t think the Yankees are sold and I think we’ve done more than philly.
