Let’s just hope that it doesn’t play out where the Sox do sign Machado, and then he spends April struggling to hit .230, everyone blames the cold and promises he will heat up with the weather, but in the end just struggles through the whole season. That seems to happen with high profile acquisitions - Moncada...Frazier...Dunn...

It didn’t happen with Albert Belle

Assuming this is fake like most believe, I think the most likely culprit is somebody from this message board. 

What if by a small chance this isn't fake. And you're right the culprit is someone from this message board. But it's one of the few with a source. And did the burner account to protect the source and They're identity. 

It almost seemed very familiar. The way they wrote it. The eyeballs again. They may even be lurking to see if we can figure it out.

Moncada- unproven talent with upside

frazier- older than manny, pretty one dimensional player

Dunn- much older than manny also one dimensional 

Machado- young, proven, 5 tool player

Machado is a 26 year old that's currently on a HoF trajectory. I can't ever recall the Sox acquiring someone like him before.

Moncada was one of the best players in baseball in April

Not saying he’s a nut job, but this person has some interesting “insight” as to why Manny is likely going to San Diego

Alonso told machado to seriously consider San Diego. Ya ok. Wasn't Alonso and company face timing machado during soxfest to get him to come to Chicago.

Welp, if Alonso actually told Machado to check out San Diego and he ends up going there and the fans find out about that he’s as good as done in Chicago and the organization better ship him out there as well lol

Not saying it’s true or not, but could easily be something where Manny asked him how the organization was and he said it was nice.  Doesn’t mean he’s telling him to go there over the Sox.

Let’s face it, he’s as good as done to the fans no matter what if they don’t get Manny.  It’s too bad as he seems like a great guy, but he will just be synonymous with failure if Manny goes elsewhere.

If they don’t get Machado I’m sure the Sox will do whatever it takes to not pick up his option next year or trade him by the trade deadline.

This might be the most pessimistic article yet regarding Manny. DVS has made it clear all weekend he doesn’t think the Sox are getting him.

Seems noteworthy all of the local guys (McGregor, DVS, & Levine) are all reporting something very similar to this. Hopefully their source is wrong or it's just the Sox using them to negotiate in the media.
