We didn't give up anything, and he's a real ballplayer who plays good defense. He's not taking a position away from any young prospects, and he provides a great clubhouse presence (which the cubs showed can be very important). Even if we don't get machado after this move, it's not a terrible move by any means. Just kind of meh

Sounds like he's from New York. It's almost impossible not to laugh while listening to a sports-media personality from New York.

Uh we are in the Indians division and represent a greater threat to their chances at the playoffs if we sign machado

He wasn't very good last year in high A ball as a 23 year old. A 4th outfielder ceiling is a reach

But by all accounts they're not just in it to say "we tried" and keep the fans happy. That's utter bullshit. They know the fans won't be happy if they don't get these guys anyway. They've offered a substantial contract to harper, so they're not in it just to say they tried dude. That shit is the worst argument I've ever heard and if I keep hearing it I would lose my mind

It's a low risk move though. We traded a prospect who's not going to pan out, for a major leaguer

I wish but I really don't think they'd like to play with each other. Harper wants to build his brand and be "the guy".

There's no reason to be negative about this move. This is a great move for us

He needs to relax. There's some things he's right on, but there's a lot of things he's wrong on in this tweet storm.

I really don't think they want to play with each other. Especially with the comments from boras about Bryce wanting to build his own brand

Forget about Peavy, the person who showed him SoxTalk needs to be tar and feathered

You just said that guy was full of shit, now you're trusting him. What is wrong with you?

I watched, really nothing much was said at all. Bruce Levine was on and was just echoing the same things we've heard this week

I found him through this too haha

This is about a video made before the winter meetings start and has no relation whatsoever to the guy saying harper is going to the dodgers. Dodgers aren't even a mystery team

Oh the irony

Chicago could use you as a detective

FWIW, the branham guy on twitter had Hyde to manage the orioles two weeks ago..

That's the part that actually kinda makes it legit I feel like.. I feel like that shows that he knows he's right and wants the attention when he's right

bingo, nobody is calling him out on twitter either

Usually a troll with his number of followers doesn't delete tweets like that

Exactly. He has barely posted on reddit, so he hasn't been just guessing

I found the guy's twitter. This is the first time he's ever tried to break news on twitter/reddit, and he was right. It isn't like he's throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks, because he's one for one.

At the moment he definitely has more credibility than not given the bour thing

I hope to God you are right Fathom. That is certainly a possibility, although he posted it to the angels subreddit. I feel like if he was trolling he would've posted it to the dodgers subreddit, but it's still a possibility and hopefully the case
