Have a plan. This could still go on for weeks. Who do you think Machado will sign with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not Manny related and nothing happened at Soxfest, obviously. Just wondering. Not from what I can tell. I think wsd was drunk and Chili’s source had something that was just fluid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And raBBit? Seems pretty clear that something was in the works. It either fell through, or it will get announced in the next couple of days. My guess is that the Joc trade is announced by the end of the day on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does a Joc trade make sense if Machado doesn’t sign? I guess we have to see how the roster shapes up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want some face time to determine what their interest will be. If this was posted earlier, sorry. This truly could go on for weeks and weeks and weeks!! This might be a good thing as Lazano now has a team to use as leverage against the Sox in the final stages of negotiations. A deal will get done soon in the next two weeks, that’s my prediction.

GermanSoxFan Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Thanks to my excellent Spanish I think the original second part of the tweet translates as: We will know soon whether the infielder accepts or rejects the offer. (editor's note) That offer is totally real, guys! Edited January 27, 2019 by GermanSoxFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Without violating the CBA rules, how difficult is it for the front office to verify a claim that some team has made an offer? Please don't tell me that Lozano can simply make up a story that the Padres have made an offer. There must be rules governing what the agents are allowed to do, as well as what ownership may do.

Sox did this to themselves if we strike out. All this hype from the Sox implies to me at least that they were serious and would NOT be outbid. If they have trolled us and strike out, how else would we be expected to react? Edited January 27, 2019 by xSouthsider2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I still think Machado is ours to lose at this point, but San Diego would be the absolute worst team to beat us out for his services, at least for our front office. Manny playing next to #hewhoshallnotbenamed would be a constant reminder of their failures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 FO’s are almost always extremely self aware and totally understand that manipulating the fans expectations are very important. If Hahn had a shadow of doubt that it would get done I would think he would have been smart enough to never give an inkling of real confidence that it would eventually get done. He had a few moments in the past couple days that he did seem all to cocky about it. He knows that the slightest hint can lead the fan base to have high expectations. If they don’t sign him Hahn really messed this up even worse than what it had to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
