their

someone from kspn raido station in la.. someone reported on another board and asking if anything heard anything? Im calling it bs.

It is pretty quiet in Chicago media, you would think if we didn't get the claim, somebody would have leaked it by now. We have been the number one topic in the Manny hype for three days. It's odd for sure. Not to mention, all this morning teams behind us claimed to not even waste their time claiming him. Very strange, either a NL team claime him and he stays put, or a surprise AL team did and I really don't see a team out of the r

race doing that for 4.3 mil. Well see.......?

Maybe it's an NL team willing to take away a big bat from a too close for comfort wild card opponent and not even bothering to play him too much.

 

Manny would block the move than under his no trade clause. He'd stay with the Dodgers than for the final stretch. The only way this makes sense is if the team making the claim feels the Dodgers are worse with Manny on the team than if he leaves and goes to the AL.

rangers got beat out on claim... it could be w sox im going to find out

I'm going to wait for Rosenthal's input. The guy has a great source with the White Sox --- been on the ball all year with WS news.

You're assuming they would get the claim as-is.

you have to think it's a realistic possibility in this case if you're a team claiming him... There's a real chance LAD are completely fed up with him and after a little trade talk they could easily just say "screw it he's yours 4m and all."

Well how is anyone supposed to know exactly?

Well, maybe I/we panicked early, maybe no NL team wants him and multiple offers were Sox, Rangers, Yankees, Rays ?

OH YEAH

#WhiteSox were the team awarded the claim on Manny, according to MLB source. Strong indications #Rangers & #Rays also claimed him. half a minute ago via web

no, just means nobodies sources are solid at this point, smart reporters shut up when they don't have solid sources on a subject... same thing could be said about media in every other city, all we've heard is the Rangers got trumped

Pants are off

Its definitely a gamble, but really any move on the waiver wire is.

 

Also, if you make a claim, and the other team calls your bluff, and its not irrevocable waivers... can you retract the claim? And then what happens?

 

Naw, it was really the nationals.

Rizzo wanted to f*** us again

 

:)

well, now the card game starts or finishes with KW and LAD, they'll try and get a player or two...

 

Also, this means JR said OK on the money, KW wouldn't claim him unless he was 100% sure the Sox could take the entire 4m because it's realistic LAD just walk away

So, after all the twits*** nothing so far today, - how is this not the "multiple teams" are the Rangers and White Sox and the White Sox win the priority claim and get Manny per the pre-agreed upon deal that Kenny/Coletti have in place?

Sounds that way to me.

I think these waivers are irrevocable
