Yeah, and he's one of the two biggest free agents in years. This off season has been talked about for several seasons now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally led off every piece of news coverage relating to soxfest over the weekend. I think the fans who go to Soxfest probably fall in the same group. How many fans go? It lead off the news from Soxfest but other than that is there ever any news about it? I just don't see the average fan that involved in it.

This is why I cringe when people put too much stock on "insiders." People here argue "Dave knows more than you think". When you have to pluck out Hector's report to reinforce your stand, tells me you don't have jack shit on your end to report. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jordan tweet heavy implies something is going to happen today, which would be awesome. I refuse to get worked up anymore after such a roller coaster of an offseason. We are still likely weeks away from a resolution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I think this finally leaks out tonight around 11:59pm CST, so prepare for another 12+ hours of suffering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same world that Mike Trout is not a household name. Individual baseball players don't have the biggest name recognition with casual sports fans, nowhere near any NFL or NBA players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but within white sox fans, casual fans pay attention to what hardcore sox fans pay attention to. The idea that a casual fan doesn't know that sox are trying to get one of the best players in the league I'm not very convinced of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The Realmuto trade is about to go down. Phillies are paying a premium. It is a move that seemed like it would never happen. Hopefully this is a domino that falls and Machado and Harper are next. If Hector is right, he deserves the legend treatment lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't realize how close this is, and many I've talked to have said something along the lines of "Yeah, sure buddy. Believe it when I see it" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world we live in, where Bryce Harper is really the only "household name" currently active in baseball. People who are legit fans and follow the league closely know Machado. But that's not the majority of the people. 16 minutes ago, steveno89 said: If you do not know the Sox have been all over Machado for the past year, can you even call yourself a Sox fan? If you went into the park last year and asked 20,000 fans about Machado, how many do you think would know about him? 8,000? With another 2,000 just knowing that he's good and we're supposed to sign him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
