Most conservative reading was that they were interested in both of them individually, not as a package. Yep, give me one and let's go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our new TV deal, that could give us a good $100M to work with to fill out the rest of the roster and potentially even more. TV deal dollars won't kick in until next season, just FYI.

True, I’m still operating under the assumption we won’t add much outside of the whales this year though and I still think we could squeeze both in right now.

username Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I think Guff is in on the posturing angle. He has immediately backed up almost anything Bruce has said and shot down any reports of the sox going big on Harp/MannyChado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 My son’s birthday is on Monday and I can’t think of a better gift than a Machado signing. Don’t let my boy down Hahn!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Since I clearly broke the Manny stuff this morning, just one other thought about that Dodgers "report". It would make a lot of sense if Grandal was the person that told the reporter that Manny could choose the Sox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 22 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: Agreed. I think that if they got Machado, Keuchel(who is a Buehrle type at this point of his career) and Pollock, with some improvement by Rodon, Lopez and Giolito that is a contender in 2019. Quite the departure from your usual negative takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always thought that if we add one of the superstars, then we probably dip into the Tier B and Tier C guys a bit more. I see a near zero chance that we add both superstars. In the case of Machado, I think we add another SP and maybe another OF. If it is Harper, we look for a 3B and an SP for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought the same. If they fail to land one, I would assume another tank year. If they get one, full steam ahead toward contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
