bmags Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 1 minute ago, Chicago White Sox said: But what momentum was actually building? I think we’re all confusing the addition of Jay and some random tweets from insiders to suggest things were actually moving when in reality I don’t think that’s probably not the case. To me, it really seems like it’s been the same stand-still for weeks, except now the Yankees are out and we’ved added another one of Manny’s friends. Those are good things, but not indicative of any momentum. Nothing really going to change in that respect until one side finally blinks. Maybe, but macsandz has typically been more reserved when things are like that. Him being so positive definitely made it feel like it was close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 So Boras makes you feel far apart forever and then gradually anchors you to a deal higher than you would think the market would still be. Maybe this guy makes you feel close, drags it out, close, drags it out until you become sick of it and pay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 This whole thing about waiting until Wednesday seems completely arbitrary though...more of an in-joke about how many big Sox moves have gone down on that day in recent years. That said, it will fit the one week timeline of the Gomez news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxwinner Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Keep this in mind. This was only 21 hours ago. Unless raBBit received some new info that he hasn't shared yet that isn't good, it's no time to worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being so positive definitely made it feel like it was close. Perhaps, but I continue to take any positive insider info to mean the organization feels its in a good spot to land one of these guys based on their assessment of the market and knowing they still have plenty of room to go up with their bids. I honestly believe when Machado finally picks a team, it’s going to come so fast (because someone caved and changed their ask / offer) that our insiders won’t be privy to that in time to share in advance of it leaking through the national insiders.

But until that happens, then I refuse to be upset over this non news I don't believe he ever said anything about this coming Wednesday. Four days ago (Tuesday), he tweeted that the White Sox used to always make their big moves on Wednesdays. I don't think he had any inside information that something would happen with Manny/Harper on Wednesday. Or are you referring to something else he said?
