He calls them "potential fits" That doesn’t exactly slide well into the title of a thread...if I had written ESPN instead of the author, it would be worse since he typically writes “speculative” articles like Phil Rogers rather than breaking actual stories.

daggins Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 05:03 PM) Not sure why we are never linked to Harper. Probably has to do with our owner never dishing out rich contracts, combined with the general invisibility of the White Sox Schoenfield kind of sucks, and generally doesn't know anything about anything, so I wouldn't read much into this.

BlackSox13 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 My wife's knickers could be a potential fit but the doesn't mean I'm going to try them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am sure, but that doesn’t follow that we would be a player for Machado then. Harper is actually a much better fit for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 For better or worse, I think we end up with Donaldson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 04:03 PM) Not sure why we are never linked to Harper. I've wondered this myself. This off-season is kind of an ideal time for us to do that. Honestly, 400+ mil, though... F that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Sox sign either of them, or Donaldson for that matter. And I’d be fine with that if they were to use that same money to sign a Keuchel or Corbin and a couple dominant bullpen arms (Kimbrel/Allen).

soxfan49 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) For the record, I’d have Arenado higher on my wish list than Machado QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 06:42 PM) Where did I say that? I don't think the Sox sign either of them, or Donaldson for that matter. Your comment was in response to the Harper question, and you only commented on Harper.
