NCsoxfan Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 On a tangential note, what sticks in my mind most about Aaron Donald is that leading up to the draft about 90% of pundits and common sense said the Bears would draft him. But once the dagger hit and the Rams unexpectedly picked him before Chicago, there was no value whatsoever in being the favorites. Different situation, but dammit I hope things end favorably in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 All I can tell from this is that WSD seems like a good dude just giving his best information. Appreciate it. We all need to relax. Seems like we’re still in a great spot to land MM and we all have the right to go nuts if we don’t 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rams taking him is something we have no control over. But someone swooping in and signing Machado is something we can avoid by simply topping their offer.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 If nothing else, I'm confident on Machado just by the process of elimination. Philly is more interested in Harper, the Yankees almost certainly aren't happening, and the Padres are probably just being used for leverage. That leaves the Sox. Just gotta make a fair offer and he's most likely ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Unless the Nats, who have a roster of nearly 10 Boras clients already, were to jump back in on Harper. He also probably has the best working relationship with Lerner. Edited February 16, 2019 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need Harper to go to Philadelphia. If he goes to San Francisco or pretty much anywhere other than the Phillies, this could end badly for us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 According to Hector: White Sox are Manny’s number one option followed by Padres, Yankees and Phillies in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 interestingly, in spanish he makes it sound like it's 'mannys preference' but in english he's listing it as 'order of highest offer to least' Lost In Translation, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackSox8 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Wow...the cringe in this thread is off the charts. How are the possible deals with Machado or Harper leaking to random no names every 20 minutes? Apparently these professional deal makers have more leaks than a colander. I pop in this thread a couple times a day and just scroll through repetitive theories...and random twitter posts with no connection to anything. Everyone chill out, leave the house, watch a movie, do something else. Come back when the whales sign, and freak out for better or worse. Paying attention to this craziness is the type of shit that gives you cancer LOL... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 A thing of note.....I think the only players left are white sox phils and maybe pads.......there is no team that has ever thought they needed to block the Sox from getting both. Only teams impacted are AL Central and Cubs who are all neutered. We believe Phils are in because of crazy money talk.....owner/McPhail isn't saying that now and is walking back from it. No team will jump in to block Sox there is no Red Sox v yanks......Dodgers v Giants......Cubs v cards thing here. There may have been some NL east noise but I think if Phils were in crazy money mode they would have signed one. Padres getting one and Sox left out is a massive blow to give them Tatis and not make good one getting us a whale to offset. I think getting both is crazy talk but I think they get one.
