If someone joins the board and quickly starts having sources, that should raise eye brows. If someone that has been here for a while says something, it's a different story.

maggsmaggs Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I won’t believe any poster until he or she proves him or herself. Rabbit has. Chili recently did with Herrera. There’s no benefit of the doubt here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More times than not people claiming to have inside info are full of shit and we need to be cautious when someone new shows up with a source. That being said, most of us are glad you’re sharing what you’re hearing with us. Hopefully you are being truthful because there really isn’t anything more pathetic than a fake, wannabe baseball insider. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooseman Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It would appear the better PR and attention move would be Monday or Tuesday to steal attention from the NFL. A Thursday or Friday or weekend news drop would just get consumed and over shadowed by the actual playoff games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially people on the internet and baseball insiders. That actually should be a commandment. Thou shall not trust internet trolls and Dan Clark.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 So I saw my source in person and he didn't have anything for me, sorry. It seems both sides are just in a staredown right now. I would bet Lozano is willing to accept the Sox offer today if there was some sort of deadline. I haven't heard anything to corroborate NotHahns' news about frustration, but maybe what I said above is why the Sox are frustrated? Because they feel like they have the best deal out there, but Lozano is willing to just sit on that offer until the Phillies decide they won't be getting Harper, and then have to offer up their "stupid money" to save face. No idea. That's all speculation on my part, as again, my source didn't have anything substantial to tell me. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOnMintSt Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The longer this drags on, the more I believe that the White Sox are being used as pawns by both Harper and Machado’s camp. Move never felt like we’ll get Harper, but I’ve been optimistic about Machado. Really feels like we’re being used to drive up offers though.
