Just for laughs...

Sox do not have time to play games with free agent pitchers. If Cole signs soon, all those teams that miss out will pivot to the Kuechel and Ryus of the world. Make a splash now or settle for a trade

With how the market is taking shape, my feeling is the Sox definitely fill their main pitching target with a trade.

If this is all true and they aren't in on Ozuna and their other targets fall through, I wonder if Ozuna's camp takes the vehement denials and even laughs now as disrespect if they try to circle back?

Reinsdorf's comments still don't mesh with Morosi saying the Sox are waiting on a decision from Ozuna and Castellanos

Yeah, I think that kills it.

From WhiteSoxDaves newest article: 1. Ozuna very well could sign with the Sox today, but as of a few days ago nothing was ado, meaning we weren’t technically “wrong” but we won’t ever know that for sure

Remember when Heyman said that the Sox top offer to Machado was 7/175 right after Gomez reported the 8/250 offer? Remember when Bruce Levine called Eloy's extension "pipe dream" after Hector reported it? I take Gomez and any DR reporter over anyone not named Rosenthal, Morosi or Passan.

Thank you, I am not the best with tenses.

Well the title does translate to “ Marcell Ozuna has signed with the White Sox”

Dominican website with 200K followers is reporting the deal. Caveat is that they are using Franks Tweet as their source but this is encouraging smoke for those of us that want Ozuna.

If this deal goes down, would the Sox really be able to hide it at the meetings? Word would get out quick, no? When other teams approach Ozuna’s agent etc.

What time do these GMs wake up? I need some MlB news.

Hoping the Sox close in on Ozuna today. He would be an immediate upgrade. We need legit major leaguers. He is legit. Happy Winter Meetings!

Morosi just said that he believes the Sox will land one of Castellanos or Ozuna and have been in contact with both. Also has them in on Tsutsugo

Ken Rosenthal on MLB network said something interesting. Mentioned that the White Sox would be a good call for Gerrit Cole...IF they were in this alone. Said if Cole told them “pay me 280,000,000 and I’ll sign”, they will but with the Yankees and Dodgers bidding, they won’t join. Dang

Just to recap: Morosi: “ Sox are awaiting a decision from Castellanos and Ozuna” Levine: “has not signed with the White Sox” Heyman: “ no deal is imminent” All of these imply the Sox and Ozuna have been talking. Frank: “ traveling to the US to sign with the Sox” Hector: “he’s traveling to the US tonight”, “I trust my colleagues report” I believe a deal has been agreed to in principal and will be signed soon. I truly believe the Sox are scared of backlash if a deal falls apart. They aren’t counting their eggs before the hatch.

I tried and he usually always replies, he did not reply to this. Being tight lipped it seems

He’s not. Schins is a phony

so that guy knows nothing, he stole this picture from a real reporter

Lol, no idea!

“The one who was going to travel today to sign a contract of the #WhiteSox from Chicago but preferred to be present at the #JuegoDeLeyendasLIDOM thanks Marcell Ozuna “
