wait is that guy chili?

Bro he isn't your source, it's not like he's giving information directly to you

The guy said Harper isn't in any hurry to come to a decision. His exact words were: "Bryce Harper is waiting on the Cubbies to officially say they are out or come up with their package"

That was a different guy, that guy was fucking with peavy. This is a different guy who's trustworthy

FWIW, the facebook insider who peavy has quoted said that harper is waiting on an answer from the Cubs; they haven't told him if they're going to be able to come up with the funds to sign him or not

Imo the media members are worried about the game dying, and I think they're all hopeful these guys go to a big market in hopes of saving the game

Hopefully, but it sounds like he has a ton of confidence that they'll get it done

This guy seems kind of legitimate, albeit biased

Were you the one on the phone with him?

I think that if his Phillies meeting is just as short then I think it's good news for us, I personally think it shows that he just wanted to get both done with

If he knew he was signing there I don't think he'd want to get out of there so quickly. And if he was leaning towards the white sox after their meeting, the yankees would have some convincing to do

I don't think that the notion of "He could know he's signing there so that's why the meeting was that short" holds a ton of merit. In that case I think they would've been there for longer discussing the contract and stuff.

That is good news. He was here for two days and only met with them for 90 minutes. It proves Chili's inside knowledge

Yeah there's no way that machado was ever here today. To me it was obvious when it was said, because he had a meeting today with the yankees

But never do because you love the attention

I might speak for everyone but I certainly speak for myself when I say that I really didn't believe him too much when he said that. He's a clown

If he was ready to sign with the sox yesterday I think it will be tough to pry him away

I'm not surprised that there aren't any. The sox are probably being really secretive

That's weird, thought they'd wait for an agreement until after they got one of harper/machado and wasn't going to be announced until march

Definitely agree with this. While I can see them being desperate to make a move because their rivals won the World Series, they're still a 100 win team and aren't in need of a guy like machado

FWIW: White Sox Dave basically confirmed what chili said on red line radio. Sounds like manny is set on the sox

Am I the only one who thinks tying up ~75 million a year to two guys isn't the best idea? I think it would cause our hands to be tied in filling out the rest of the roster and might backfire. If it were to happen I'd be thrilled and wouldn't complain, just a little hesitant

Uh oh jealousy from Peavy!

*If* we had the choice between Harper and machado, who do we choose or do we go both?

I'll take you for it, that's pretty awesome
