I'm sitting here waiting and hoping and thinking there has to be more than Pederson! There just has to be!

It might be even less than Pederson. Without Manny, it doesn't make a ton of sense.

If being at the table is something we are applauding,  it’s really pathetic. That’s like going to Jack Ruby’s ordering a steak , the steak comes and then walking out. When your friends ask you how it’s was you tell them I was there and it looked and smelled really good. Pay the money and eat the steak! Stop being cheap because we are sick of McDonald’s and Cold cut combos

It's dumb but do you expect the guy to come out and say that this was an organizational failure if they don't sign him? They have to at least try to spin it.

No, but he doesn't need to grovel for effort credit either.

I mean, it's very possible that neither Machado nor Pederson are acquired.

Lied about staying in the shadows... but I love me a nice Cold cut Combo any day of the week!

Get us at least chips and a drink with it.

I always trade the chips for the cookie!  Even though its just frozen balled up crap when it goes into the cooker... those cookies come out like they were touched by the Hand of the Cookie God himself!

Hahn going on record and admitting that not getting Machado would be disappointing, tells me they are still in it.  Also he mentioned "offers"does that confirm we have extended one to Bryce Harper? Or multiple to Manny?

Did Hahn specifically say they have an offer out to Manny?  Don't believe he did, as that's not allowed by the CBA.

Going off of this from Fegan

 

Hahn says they’ve made offers that would disprove the idea the White Sox won’t spend at the top of the market if they were accepted, and hopes to disprove that narrative over the next few weeks

 

So Yonder went from "Yeah, I welcome all questions" yesterday to not wanting to talk about it today.

I noticed that too and I don't really know what to make of it

He gabbed and gabbed and gabbed before he met in person the guys Manny would be replacing lol

I read into it as he thinks it's close to happening, but the organization told him this is something he can't talk about until if/when it gets done.

Im guessing someone got in his ear to not be so eager to talk about it as to not say something he shouldn't

Is he just learning to talk White Sox talk?

my hope (1% chance) is that it gets announced in next few hours, as I don't know how he's going to do a live podcast at 7 tonight if that question is off the table.

Based on Yonder, maybe the burner account was right and there is a snag.

Right. 

Have you guys ever done an auction fantasy baseball league? Sometimes a good player falls through the cracks because the most of the league settled their guys at that position early, and so it looks like the team that waited is about to get a good deal. 

But then one or two other dudes in the league say, “I don’t need another second baseman, but if he’s going to go THAT low, I’m in.”

And then what happens is the player ends up going for pretty much what the projected value was. San Diego is playing “price cop”

 

Someone told Alonso to clam up. That may be a good thing from our perspective.

Is there a chance that the deadline on the Sox offer was last night?  And at the last minute someone offered more and kind of reset the whole process?

Just spitballing on how Yonder went from telling fans to be ready to be surprised to "I can't talk about stuff that may or may not happen".... this is obviously taking into consideration that both statements were genuine when made.

I mean....he's been saying the same thing since he got traded here. Nothing new there.

Or maybe he's going to sign with the Padres. No one knows anything. We're all just throwing darts here.
