August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 12:30 PM) Really...the Sox are the first team with legitimate reason to claim him in the AL...unless a team decided to block him out of spite. We've got the worst record of anyone left in the race. I could see Beane claiming him for no apparent reason.
August 27, 201015 yr With the earlier reports saying Rays and Yankees not on Manny one has to be an NL team. I hope we get him.
August 27, 201015 yr If we don't get him is there anyone else out there we could get? This would be a bummer.

I hope we get him. it doesn't mean they didn't claim him, it could mean they put a claim in on him but heard that someone with a superior claim had rights Edited August 27, 201015 yr by SoxFan562004
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 12:33 PM) HeYmen said by 1230 Nah, its 12:33, we probably won't know anything official till the weekend or possibly till Monday or Tuesday, I thought. How was it with Rios last year? First it was a a team claimed him, then it came out it was the White Sox, not sure how long it took.

I think there will be leaks before then, ie who has the superior claim
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 12:33 PM) If we don't get him is there anyone else out there we could get? This would be a bummer. A couple guys already cleared waivers (LaRoche for one), but I would imagine KW would have made a claim on someone like that if he was interested. I don't know. It could be another huge letdown.
August 27, 201015 yr ROSENTHAL #Dodgers 5 back in WC race; might have prompted claim, or claims. Teams daring Ned Colletti to give up Manny while in race. #WhiteSox #MLB half a minute ago via web Is he saying NL rivals might have put in a claim just to 'weaken' the Dodgers?

August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (Real @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) The latest we find out is tuesday but i doubt the dodgers wait that long I'm surprised. I was waiting for a simple lol from you.

The acquisition happened about 2 days later.
August 27, 201015 yr We will know by today leaks happen ad heymen tweeted we would know by 1230. Here's more from rosenthal. Ken_Rosenthal #Dodgers 5 back in WC race; might have prompted claim, or claims. Teams daring Ned Colletti to give up Manny while in race. #WhiteSox #MLB 1 minute ago

If an NL team claimed him, then they wouldn't get rid of him, if the wanted him to get traded nobody should have put in a claim.
August 27, 201015 yr kennys quotes said what I knew already the most obvious names is not who sox are not going to get. I dont know who kenny has his eyes on but he seemed sure confident he was going get something done

August 27, 201015 yr Forgive my waiver incompetence, but if an NL team claimed Manny, the Dodgers have to deal with them only, right? Well, deal or no deal.

Well, deal or no deal. yes, or they can just walk away and the team takes his full contract like Sox with Rios last year or LAD can pull him back and keep him and then he's off the market Edited August 27, 201015 yr by SoxFan562004

Well, deal or no deal. Yup. And in this case, he can be put on waivers again, but he would have to get dealt if he was put on again.

What if he used his NTC second time around? Of course he can use it the first time around and won't get put on waivers again this season.

August 27, 201015 yr I have enough stress in my life. I'd love to find out right away if we got him or not.
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) espn 1000 update: white sox no longer favorite to land manny *sigh*
