Chicago White Sox Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 45 minutes ago, Jose Abreu said: They thought that Manny was signing with the White Sox because of a fake Jeff Passan account tweet from 3 hours ago. Not only did they not realize that the account lacked a blue check mark, but they wrote a whole article on the ordeal and still didn't notice, not to mention they failed to realize that if it were real, other people would've talked about it in the last 3 hours. Just puzzling all around Wow, they obviously pulled the article which sucks because I would have loved to had read it...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really believe there any reason right now to be pessimistic unless you are worried about past free agency failure coming back to haunt the Whitesox. We’ve received positive news from multiple outlets that the Sox are really players in this today. I get being on edge and wanting him to be signed already but this is a waiting game we are playing right now and I have faith that RH can and will get the job done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuliusO1274 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Some have suggested the longer it goes on the better it is looking for the Sox but I am of the opposite opinion. The longer it goes on the more it seems Manny really wants to go to NY and is just waiting for the Yankees to make a good offer he could accept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Just imagine working in the White Sox marketing department...they will have either the easiest job in the world (or at least fairly easy) or the hardest job convincing anyone to buy season ticket packages or corporate sponsors to jump back on board the bandwagon, depending on how all this plays out with Machado and Harper. Three months of almost unabated excitement and anticipation, or the Evil Eye of Sauron descending on the fanbase.

Really wish I didn’t miss this article. It's just a tweet saying MM is nearing a 6-year, $210M deal with the Chicago White Sox. It's Jef Passan with one f, and it has 5 followers. It's very easy to find. I'm refraining from posting it here. SSS's article pretty much posted this tweet with a brief blurb about how a signing is near. SSS then deleted it after being informed he was sourcing an obvious fake. Edited January 11, 2019 by DirtySox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the front office can not deliver, I think they will be very hard pressed to convince fans that this rebuild will actually work. I always try to remain optimistic, but this is a pivotal moment for the franchise that they cannot let slip away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Regardless of what happens at least we know the Sox gave it a hell of a shot. The only thing they could do to win outright is offer way too much money. Personally I think We get him. I don’t think the Yankees are sold and I think we’ve done more than philly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
