Guys, how did we miss this before?

This isn't even a message board anymore, it's a support group.

Y’all ain’t ready...

I respect and appreciate @teorey23 because: 1) he has a consistent narrative since mid-January 2019 when he joined 2) he backed up his recent claims with an old post from his “source”...which was himself 3) he is saying what we all want to hear...and tomorrow is Wednesday

All I know is if Rawlings posted a picture and the gloves were phillies red I'd be losing my mind,

Just checked teoray23's email... It's [email protected] Could be something.

Guys how do you not recognize a fake account within like two seconds? We have been obsessed about this for months we have had a ton of practice.

HAVE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW BEEN AFFECTED BY THE MACHADO SAGA? IF SO, YOU COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR LEGAL COMPENSATION. THE FIRST CALL IS ALWAYS FREE AND REMEMBER: I DONT GET PAID UNLESS YOU GET PAID

Remember to spay and neuter your cats so this doesn't happen.

Thank you for at least being an improvement over the "get ready... just get ready" guy

Only logical conclusion: Manny is going to the pitching contest, plans on winning, then will take the free trip to Camelback Ranch and sign with the White Sox. Or maybe the Dodgers idk.

Manny could literally publicly attribute his decision to signing with the Sox to teorey23 and I would still not give his get ready post any credit.

I have this strange feeling that the Sox are going to sign both Harper and Machado. It really seems like the Sox and Phillies are the only two teams committed to making long term offers to these guys. Everyone else's interest is always qualified as "short term" or "at their price." It also seems like both players prefer the Sox over the Phillies if the offers are close. Finally, I think the Phillies' willingness to spend "stupid money" has been overblown. Otherwise, Patrick Corbin would be in camp with them right now and they probably already would have locked up one of the two stars. I also think their apparent caving on the price for Realmuto is a sign that they are not confident about signing either player. I know some people disagree with that but if I was about to commit $30 mil/per year to one player, I would be holding tight to my cost-controlled top prospects.

We've been ready!!!

To lighten up the mood a little bit: I found this while checking for some Machado scoops.

If the gloves are red, Moustakas instead.

I dont think the news is that Rawlings is somehow in the know. It's that Manny has customized his gloves to Sox colors.

Here is an important opinion based on a quick image search (no other research necessary everyone) While in baltimore he wore a black and orange glove. When he went to the dodgers, he didn't keep black and orange, he had a classic leather glove. So he clearly wants to either wear the team colors or no colors and you can't convince me otherwise thanks bye.

The people in this thread that don't think the gloves mean anything are the same ones that would be freaking out if they were Phillies, Yankees, or Padres colors.

Dont want to get your hopes up but lets go to a live look at Manny Machado's cow from the farm he owns:

This is the most "cover your bases" tweet one can imagine.

The Giants being listed as the favorite tells you all you need to know about those odds

He looks like Billy Butler

I said this a few pages back, but I'll say it again. 1. BetOnline is from Australia NOT VEGAS. Vegas cannot take that kind of prop bet. It is ILLEGAL. 2. Books don't post odds based on info (to an extent). They post odds based on where the money is coming in so that they can cover themselves. So, if the money is coming in on the Yankees (which it will b/c they're the yankees and everyone bets on the big boys), they're going to make the odds worse for the Yanks to entice bets being placed on the teams where they have less exposure.

Normally I would think this guy is just another rando, but the interesting thing is that he is a camera operator for NBC Sports Chicago.

To be fair, @teorey23 did say about a month ago that they were going to get Machado.

If teorey23 has legit info, I am calling Jose Canseco right fucking now!

Hector’s “in the coming days” tweet along with the baby shoes & custom gloves tell me all I need to know. You don’t make the birth of a child about a guy’s employer unless it has special meaning to the family. Same goes for the “305” on gloves. Even if it’s just for a year, it should be clear as day that Alonso, Jay, & Machado are pumped as fuck to play together. Manny’s desire to play for the White Sox is obvious IMO.

Shocking. The sage J. Michael Robertson enlightens us with his insider stamp of approval on a fake insider breaking news tweet.

I'm disappointed that the thread title is not "Manny Machado: If the glove fits..."

Pretty sure you said exactly this last week or two weeks ago (or both).

Couldn’t the extra security be for the fast pitch thing?

I feel like we’ve been there with the security thing a month or so ago. Presser/Event at Guaranteed Rate?!? Why not just do it in Arizona?

Saw a black Lambo SUV with white sox vanity plates around downtown yesterday. Assuming it was Manny

Christ this is all so dumb

But where will he get the money to buy multiple gloves?

As a design professional with an expertise in branding...this glove IS a representation of the White Sox. Clear, simple no way around it. This is NOT yankees and if you peruse their instagram/twitter accounts, they have a navy blue they use for other teams and it would be clear.

Soxtalk just crashed twice for me, heart rate spiked up.

There is a lot of good intel in that article. I would suggest that anyone who hasn't read it take the time to do so.

Uhh Merkin Retweeted it.

Those gloves are SEXY. Hot dang we have the best unis and color combo in MLB.

Also, before anyone asks, Yankees official colors are navy blue and white

28 followers dude. 28.

"Heard it's not right. Might be close, might not be. I don't fuckin know, here's a tweet."

Are you a family member of his?

What was your excuse last offseason?

Sounds like they are dead then.
