Jack Parkman Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I was just coming on here to post this. Depending on which one of them they land, if either, would shape the remainder of the offseason. Seeing what most think Eovaldi is going to get i'm down with offering him 3/48 and adding him to the rotation if they land one of these guys.

Bob Sacamano Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 If you're interested in paying for one, you might as well be interested in the other if your preferred player signs somewhere honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Adding both would be pretty awesome ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It's not suggesting they get both haha one or the other. My point above was if you want to sign one to a $300m deal and he signs somewhere else, you should have interest in the other. Both would be great additions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 A lot of White Sox talk. My question is: Are agents using us again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I wonder how long these two will wait to sign and how it effects the rest of free agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Just now, Tony said: I don't know, the evidence seems to piling up for Manny. It just checks off a ton of boxes. I don't see Bryce.

I don't see Bryce. Just doesn't add up. It would check off the "left handed bat" box, which is as of now only occupied long-term by Collins. Also would likely be a better move for marketing/exposure, even though Machado is the better player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake fucking Rutherford isn't going to prevent the White Sox from attempting to sign Harper (assuming Machado signs somewhere else first).

GoSox05 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 What kind of contracts are we talking with these guys. 40 million a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) Harper also allows the Sox to use their corner OF prospects in trades to fill other holes. If they land Harper, any OF other than Robert, Gonzalez and Basabe become instant trade bait, actually you could probably use one of the three above in a trade and have CF filled anyway. Blake Rutherford might be an option for CF as well. Edited November 5, 2018 by Jack Parkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Oh my God when I read this blurb today my heart started pumping 100x faster. Please, White Sox, go get Harper! I want to root for him so badly! Machado would be kinda cool too, but hate his attitude. Hell, get both. LETS DO THIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
