October 18, 201312 yr Last time I did this, we got an update seconds later. WHAT IF HE SIGNS WITH SOMEONE TONIGHT?
October 18, 201312 yr IT WORKED! Kind of. Barry Jackson (MIA Beat Writer): Marlins bid but are reportedly out of running for Cuban 1B Jose Dariel Abreu, who Fox says will likely get 6 yrs, $68 M from White Sox.
October 18, 201312 yr Um... Here's a summary of the last 4 hours... Interesting! Wow! HOLY s***!! AWESOME!!! Huh? wtf???? Lame.... Gurrrrrrrr.... wtf! Eeeek. I'm now excited and scared.

Its 50/50 white sox or rangers right now according to SB Nation
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) Its 50/50 white sox or rangers right now according to SB Nation SB Nation is just a community website. A glorified message board. It isn't a source.
October 18, 201312 yr Evan Grant @Evan_P_Grant 17 Oct I'm told #Rangers out RT @Beasthart: @Evan_P_Grant Sox fan here, seems "momentum" is shifting toward you guys? Your source say anything new? What kind of twitter name is Beasthart? must be a tool.
October 18, 201312 yr I don't know how the Rangers are even in the position to be bidding today against the Sox with Ryan stepping down. Could be wrong but I really hope this is just some smoke before the prestige of Mr. Abreu signing with The Chicago White Sox

Could be wrong but I really hope this is just some smoke before the prestige of Mr. Abreu signing with The Chicago White Sox I'm sure there is a continuity plan in place for that sort of thing...
October 18, 201312 yr Meanwhile... in the MLB Analyst Room *Hahn talking to Jon Heyman on phone* "Now Jon, for an extra fifty bucks, you tweet in 5 minutes, 'Rangers are now the favorite for Abreu.' Got it?" Edited October 18, 201312 yr by ChiSoxFan05
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:11 PM) I'm sure there is a continuity plan in place for that sort of thing... No doubt, but this going down on the same day just strikes me as odd. I think this thing sped up today with the Sox accelerating things and it caught Texas off guard and they are making a last ditch effort to nab him. Hopefully albeit to late!
October 18, 201312 yr @JeffPassan Sources: Rangers not expected to sign Cuban 1B Jose Abreu. Won't go to $68M, the size of current six-year offer. Most speculate White Sox.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 07:08 PM) I hope someone can fill me in on how this predictor translator works: “@enosarris: Abreu's in news, so here's his Davenport Translation (biggest sample): .321/.446/.660. DT for Cespedes .271/.338/.489 (real: 265/.324/.472)” Damn, that would be awesome.

October 18, 201312 yr People replying to my tweet seem to think this Evan Grant fellow doesn't really have a source, or his source sucks so I guess take that FWIW.

He does have a separate source and a reliable one. Got that Rios trade almost right before everyone else.

Most speculate White Sox. If true, credit it the contract wiz Hahn with the trades this season to make it possible. The kid deserves a lot of credit if he pulls this off. Hopefully he has a few more clogs in his offseason plan. I miss October baseball, well good baseball in general.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 07:39 PM) I cant wait to see the Facebook reactions from people who will come out and say its a disgrace he was signed because he needs an education ect. Kinda like what happened with Michael Zapata. He is 26, not 16.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:18 PM) My sources are telling me that Jose Abreu's first name is Jose. But his bros call him Darry Darry Bonds
October 18, 201312 yr WAIT THIS IS GROUNDBREAKING. My sources JUST TOLD ME that Jose Abreu is a BASEBALL PLAYER. This changes EVERYTHING!
