Ive been pretty positive about Manny, but last week I said a few times that the deal needed to get done by Friday. Now there is obviously still a chance that the Sox sign Manny, and they have much better odds than id have thought a year ago, but I feel like deals have "momentum". And you need to get the deal done while it has positive momentum. It just seems like the Sox could have Manny if they really want him. And for whatever reason they are just holding out on giving into what he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 So much for the two whales theory. Just kidding. But I think any reasonable White Sox fan would be happy with just one. Of course, since it’s like noon in Las Vegas, not sure how anyone would know much about the Boras/Harper meeting with the Phils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont add Yonder/Jay, and then miss out on Manny over $10 mil total on a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is either progress or no news. Especially if a team is as deep as the Sox, it doesn’t just magically become bad news the next day. Maybe the Phillies upped an offer but at this point, that’s all part of the negotiations. The Sox will have to counter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean it’s over, but I’m not surprised to hear there isn’t rosy news. But what momentum was actually building? I think we’re all confusing the addition of Jay and some random tweets from insiders to suggest things were actually moving when in reality I don’t think that’s probably not the case. To me, it really seems like it’s been the same stand-still for weeks, except now the Yankees are out and we’ved added another one of Manny’s friends. Those are good things, but not indicative of any momentum. Nothing really going to change in that respect until one side finally blinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phillies aren’t going to bowl him over the day they’re meeting with Harper. My guess is it's something like this: Our negotiations with Machado have slowed recently. There was some momentum and hope that we would reach a deal this week, but both sides appear to be far apart on the money side of things. This may drag into February. The bright side is that Philadelphia is not meeting his asking price at the moment either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Well, if the Phillies somehow manage to get both guys...we can ship them all of our newly-acquired vets for more Tier B/C prospects.
