I don't think this is anything new, which is why I'm confused as to why you think this happen in the next day or two. (Unless you believe the security stuff) I’m just trying to create some hype and will this thing into happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another team announcing a deal with him would be a huge blow to the fanbase. I still don't see this. Other than all of us idiots on this board, most fans aren't really familiar with the Manny situation. Most other fans I discuss it with pretty much say, "I heard the Sox might get him." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it should probably be re-worded to "huge blow to the die-hard fans." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Hector is really putting all his eggs into the Machado-to-the-White Sox basket. I find it hard to believe he would put his reputation at stake if he didn't think it was going to happen.

Machado is not a household name, and unlike the Cubs fans with Harper, we haven't been told by the media that Manny was going to sign here for the last two years. Rabid message boarders will be furious, but most fans will go on with their lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant Gomez is just kinda messing with Sox fans heads at this point, i don't think he knows when Manny will actually sign. But you're fighting the good fight!

No, he used this for a Throwback Thursday pic a few weeks ago when someone asked about sources. I think this is just his way to show he "knows" Manny.

Harper sets the market. If he does not sign with the Phillies, that gives Machado a chance to bring the price up. the only way he signs before if the offer is too sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. All I'm saying is he has implied he thinks its the sox for a while and today he's had multiple tweets in a row insinuating it's happening.
