Hopeful this is true..Is this the guy who also said the Sox were closing on a deal faith Oakland  earlier in the year?

Don’t count me on this, but I think he admitted that he shouldn’t of tweeted that or that the trade fell through or something along those lines.

I guess it is time to monitor SoxTalk full time....miss a little...miss a lot.

I remember when Mike Rodriguez said we got Frankie Montas. Then it didn't happen lol. 

Very excited it’s Espada.  Obviously we aren’t sitting in on these interviews, but from a fan’s perspective he checks all the boxes we can see.

I could be remembering incorrectly, but wasn't there a report early in the season that the teams discussed Montas but the A's wanted Vaughn? He may not be completely wrong about there being a deal discussed, other than saying it was done.

Rodriguez is legit, but he also has some questionable sources (aka Hector Gomez).

Oh I guarantee the White Sox would have called and asked about him, but big difference between that and saying it's done. Similarly, I am quite confident the White Sox have had an interview with Espada. Is it officially done? Nothing that will change it because contract has ink on it? We'll see.

Yup. I just want someone who has been getting prep'd in a successful organization like Houston. He's obviously qualified with how long he's paid his dues as bench coach. Along with the interviews he's gotten as manager before. Hopefully Dusty hasn't rubbed off on him too much, but I'm sure he's analytics friendly and won't pull the s%*# Tony would. Him being a first time manager also means the FO and analytics department will have more influence on lineup and in-game decisions. No more Leury batting 3rd. 

I would also be ok with Matt Quataro since he also fits a lot of the stuff I mentioned above.

I am very happy if it’s Espada. He was my first choice. 

His wiki page has bought the rumor.

Same. Hopefully if it’s him he will be allowed to bring in his own staff which I would be even more excited for 

FWIW

Wouldn’t shock me at all if he’s in play next time there’s an opening due to the age of his kids
