I think they want to have 2B open for Madrigal who some people feel has gold glove ability at that position as his ceiling. So why not move Moncada now I guess is the thinking.

It seems to me that they will get the pitching that they need by trading surplus outfielders for example. It might just be because of today, but I do not see this team paying for a top of the rotation type starting pitching.

What Kenny Williams meant to say was that the Sox just couldn't go to that 300 Million level....for Machado. Let's turn this around and sign Harper by this evening.

What was it with Kenny saying that Jerry really stepped up?!!?? Just shut up Kenny!!!! You need to stop talking.

I want to be able to root for Alonso and Jay but honestly I just cannot wait until they are gone.

Does Kenny Williams have any clue how that statement pisses off so many Sox fans? Why oh Why oh Why did they ever pretend like they were in the running. You don't try to bargain shop 26 year old very talented free agents. Just plain stupid!!!

I love the White Sox too. I will be upset if do not get one of the Whales but I root for the team and will do so whether Machado or Yolmer is at 3rd this year. Same for Harper or Palka. White Sox, White Sox, Go Go White Sox!!!!

This guy is worse than Marge Schott. Punishment?...I am all for Contracting the Cubs.

At Soxfest...and now your 2019 Chicago White Sox...Manny (gasp from the crowd) Banuelos. I just hope they don't boo the poor guy.

I agree with this. No way we get both of the Whales. Go get Ottavino and definitely have a killer bullpen. Shorten the games and give us a great shot of being much better this year.

The real question is are the Machado and Harper camps monitoring us? Just in case they are: I have always considered Scott Boras to be a wonderful person.

Unfortunately, Roller Coasters always made me sick. ?

Can you get pitchforks into SoxFest or do you have to check them with your coat?

I'm confused. Is this bad for getting either of the Whales?

Sorry, just having a moment of panic. Thanks for the reassurance. I do think Hahn got Alonso and Jay as a kind of tie breaker for a top offer the Sox are going to make. Ok, I got the good feelings back. We will have Manny signed by sometime next week!!!!

If it turns out that the Sox lose out because they would not go over 30 million AAV for Machado, then they will be roasted by the fans. Especially after all the posturing Rick and Kenny did earlier. But who knows what they are actually willing to offer. Hopefully we see soon.

Where is Jon Jay's jersey?

What is going to happen?? This is dragging on too long I'm feeling like 98% excited, 2% scared or is it more 98% scared, 2% excited.

This whole process is like a game where the Sox have a comfortable lead but I just don't trust the bullpen to hold it...but I'm hopeful.

The out of the blue fire is boom we get both!!! Go Crazy!!!!!

I'm sure Jon Jay wouldn't mind sharing the spotlight with his best bud. Just announce the Machado signing while you're at it.

I remember feeling kind of sorry for Teahan because he just seemed lost at the plate. I never liked Keppinger because he just seemed like a jerk. Of course, I am probably completely wrong about their personality in real life.

I voted for Teahen but honestly I thought Kevin Youkilis was a complete waste of time.

Well Manny he passed his physical, time to sign on the dotted line. I'm sure for much more than $200 million.

Any chance the Sox go all in on the bullpen and sign Ottavino?
