Nightengale, Merkin, DVS, Garfein, Levine, a few hours from now: Per a source, the White Sox are NOT putting a full court press on for Machado, nor do they have any edge. Their pursuit has been described as a "half court press", or by some, as little as a 2-3 zone.

Nor should he, because there’s practically zero upside to it.

This Phillies account is the one who was credited by Rosenthal so either way they’re legit.

This is the account that broke Segura to PHI and got credited by Rosenthal.

Petition for the new thread ending to be "May or may not be heavily leaning"

Ever since it broke the site record for posts, it sure has been something!

I think some of you need to be reminded of this now...

He probably could've been in AA last year. That's why he might be the kind of guy who barely stays in Charlotte just because he's so polished.

It’s 8/250, I believe Passan and Gomez as they aren’t the types to get used for leverage. What they report tends to be accurate. I find it funny that Bruce is saying it could be 7/175. That’s just so much worse to the point where you know he’s getting bad info.

But when a team does beat the national guys, it's the White Sox. That said, I don't think this is happening today

There we go. That's great news, and this is coming from someone who did not believe the earlier Nightengale report in the slightest

He sent out another tweet saying nothing is done

Didn't Buster literally laugh at our chances at landing a whale in December?

I just really like what I saw from him last year and I think he would be relatively cheap. His home run rate was microscopic. I much prefer him to Gio Gonzalez and that nasty walk rate. Pomeranz, I'm not as sure about since last season was so strange/bad, but I'd prefer him to Gonzalez for sure.

Wade Miley, Marwin Gonzalez

I'm conflicted on that. I would tend to agree but his implication, both in the article itself and in his accompanying tweet, that we would go more than 8 years also tells me that there still may be a decent amount of work left to do.

Just for old times' sake, let's always remember this gem from Bruce Levine.

This means a lot more to me than the Nightengale report. He seems to think we'd offer 10 years if necessary, too.

a.) people who want the White Sox to be better b.) people who want the future of the team to develop properly

Enjoy watching him in Philly then. Beggars can't be choosers

Exactly, it's all media. You can take exception to what he does on the field but it's well-documented that he's a good clubhouse guy
