ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'm really starting to think the Sox will get one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Imagine if we do end up signing one of these guys how agonizing the wait between it being reported and the Sox officially announcing it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The only info contradicting info seems to be Bucket saying Sox are confident internally they can nab Bryce, but WSD seems to think the org has him viewed as kind of a longshot. That's the way I read WSD's blog at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I said in a Machado thread about a week ago that we are getting both players. Nothing has changed since then. I was initially worried about hte Clarke report, but it made no sense since the Yankees can't compete with us financially (or at least won't compete financially) over Machado. I considered Machado as good as ours as far as 10 days ago or so. Harper, by all indications, should be ours as well. There's no other suitor outside of Philly. We're getting both of them boys and gals! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people also need to remember WSD is also a homer fan, so he is going to be very positive towards their chances, but I do think he has legit sources. I’ll take it either way! Same with Bucket. When he opens his mouth, you best listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
