January 12, 20197 yr The other option could be taht the white sox have decided they're out and they're going to go finish signings elsewhere.
January 12, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, Chicago White Sox said: But what momentum was actually building? I think we’re all confusing the addition of Jay and some random tweets from insiders to suggest things were actually moving when in reality I don’t think that’s probably not the case. To me, it really seems like it’s been the same stand-still for weeks, except now the Yankees are out and we’ved added another one of Manny’s friends. Those are good things, but not indicative of any momentum. Nothing really going to change in that respect until one side finally blinks. Maybe, but macsandz has typically been more reserved when things are like that. Him being so positive definitely made it feel like it was close.
January 12, 20197 yr So Boras makes you feel far apart forever and then gradually anchors you to a deal higher than you would think the market would still be. Maybe this guy makes you feel close, drags it out, close, drags it out until you become sick of it and pay up.

Not trying to take shots at all and I'm sure they're a good person but just doesn't make sense

January 12, 20197 yr Did anyone *really* believe him though? I'm just kind of playing along because there is nothing of substance anywhere.

January 12, 20197 yr Homie is driving in snow - chill and give the man some time to tell you what he heard before you bring out pitch forks.

January 12, 20197 yr This whole thing about waiting until Wednesday seems completely arbitrary though...more of an in-joke about how many big Sox moves have gone down on that day in recent years. That said, it will fit the one week timeline of the Gomez news.

January 12, 20197 yr Keep this in mind. This was only 21 hours ago. Unless raBBit received some new info that he hasn't shared yet that isn't good, it's no time to worry
January 12, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, bmags said: Maybe, but macsandz has typically been more reserved when things are like that. Him being so positive definitely made it feel like it was close. Perhaps, but I continue to take any positive insider info to mean the organization feels its in a good spot to land one of these guys based on their assessment of the market and knowing they still have plenty of room to go up with their bids. I honestly believe when Machado finally picks a team, it’s going to come so fast (because someone caved and changed their ask / offer) that our insiders won’t be privy to that in time to share in advance of it leaking through the national insiders.

January 12, 20197 yr 46 minutes ago, Kyyle23 said: I feel like you will only get behind any trade if the value you send away is significantly lower than the value that you receive, and that is negotiating in bad faith and will probably put you in a bad spot with other gms While I don't disagree with you in principle, I hardly think that the results of trades over the last 6 years put the Sox at risk of negotiating in bad faith with other teams.

But until that happens, then I refuse to be upset over this non news I don't believe he ever said anything about this coming Wednesday. Four days ago (Tuesday), he tweeted that the White Sox used to always make their big moves on Wednesdays. I don't think he had any inside information that something would happen with Manny/Harper on Wednesday. Or are you referring to something else he said?
