The Harper one is probably the most likely but even that seems like a long shot right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Have I missed something? Like what the fuck is causing people to be so pessimistic today? Does Balta’s presence in this thread just do that to people? As far as I can tell, we’re in the same spot we’ve been in for the last few months and that’s probably a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I wonder how much of this is affecting the Sox other roster moves they may have in the pipeline. Hahn said there were 3-4 other moves in the works. Obvious that could have been complete bull, or moves that didn’t come together. Pederson and Realmuto were 2 of them. I can’t help but wonder how Hahn and co. must be feeling that the rest of the offseason is hindging on Manny signing and ST is literally days away.

It is the same general feeling I have had all winter. The Sox aren't the type of franchise that historically wins these types of situations. Nothing they have done this winter has been very inspirational to change that point of view. This just keeps dragging on and one, now the talk is about other teams getting back involved in the situation, which could be really bad for the Sox. For example, if the Yankees even come close to matching a Sox offer, the Sox won't win. With the Sox failing to close the deal so far, the door is open to literally anyone to come to Jesus and realize what they could do here they may never be able to do again.

spiderman Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Is it sad that I just don't care anymore if the White sox sign Machado (or Harper, although he seems to be connected to other teams moreso)? Yes, I'd be happy if the Sox sign Machado, but I've stopped checking in like I was in January, and now it's pretty much....just make a decision .

The rebuild is still intact if they don't. MM signs with someone sooner or later . I come here almost every day to check threads anyway so one will eventually be about Manny or Harper signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business men recognize when opportunity is in front of them. Especially when you are talking about a discount from what they thought it would be when they had made their previous plans.

TomPickle Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 1 hour ago, fathom said: Hahn is the same person that said Sox fans won't care if Manny signed in December or March if he hits a walk-off homer. I really don't get the negativity today from so many. This is definitely true if he signs with the White Sox, but if he signs with not the White Sox it will be much more annoying if he does it in March instead of December. It will really turn me off on the team if he doesn't sign as we hear for months on end that the White Sox are the in it (and possibly the only real suitor) and still haven't managed to sign him.

BigSexy23 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I can't see how the white sox wouldn't counter someone's offer with a better one. They are not going to give in that easily...if Machado gets a better offer elsewhere he is going to go back to the White Sox and say now what can you do? Him and Lazano both know how much money the Sox have to offer a mega contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
