fathom Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hahn again had a chance to temper the enthusiasm for Sox fans when it comes to the big guys, and he absolutely didn’t. That’s a positive sign if you want them to get Bryce/Manny. Oh, and every time I see him remark about you can’t control when players are available, it makes me think Manny is their main target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 That last quote from Hahn is awfully cryptic. Not going to try and get mine or anyone elses hopes up, but it seems to me he wouldn't really say that unless he was told by another party that that was the case.

Harper being the cover star of the MLB The Show 19 and playing on ESPN games in a White Sox uniform would help tremendously in gaining fans not just in Chicago.
