He just plainly repeated what he said on his show and didn't expound upon it at all. It's the shitty rest of the interview that leaves us feeling like he doesn't see us a real threat, but his initial report was never his opinion anyway, he was just repeating what he was told
January 4, 20197 yr If you want to see a bunch of entitled New Yorkers whining like crazy, go hit up Twitter right now. They aren’t taking to these White Sox rumors too kindly.

January 4, 20197 yr I wouldnt expect anyone besides the biggest writers are getting direct leaks. No offense to guys like white sox dave, but you are talking about arguably the biggest signing in Sox history. No one with direct knowledge is putting it the hands of bloggers etc. If Machado signs, i expect the Sox to give the scoop to someone who has done work for them for years. Everything else is bread crumbs being recirculated to varying degrees.

Perhaps, but I mean the timing of this formal offer is what is most interesting to me. I feel the Sox are very serious at trying to get a deal done. No other formal offer has been reported as of yet.

No other formal offer has been reported as of yet. Do "formal" offers even usually get reported? After the signing other teams interest leaks, but to me this seems like Machado wants another higher offer.

At this point the clear suitors have emerged and both sides should have a good idea of both the contract demands and what teams are willing to do in terms of years and dollars. I still would not consider the Sox to be a favorite for either big fish.
January 4, 20197 yr https://mobile.twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1080990836584792065 Cue the Machado and Harper to philly sources, I’m sure they are going to be crawling out the woodwork here shortly

Like, do you guys have any idea how this shit works? It's a small club. Everybody is just a phone call away and nobody is playing tiddlywinks. If an agent straight up lies to Hahn word is going to get around. You don't bluff and bullshit like you're donald trump in these negotiations. Edited January 4, 20197 yr by chitownsportsfan

Because if the reports from NY are true, ownership is split. Machados agent needs something to change the dynamics. Why would the Sox leak they are close? That would be the stupidest thing ever. The Sox want complete silence if they are close. And why would Machado's agent be lying? They dont have a deal, hes trying to get his cliet more money. (edit) Only other option is its from thr NY camp who wants to sign him. Edited January 4, 20197 yr by Soxbadger

It's absurd on its face. Now for trades? Totally different.
