Chicago White Sox Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 There better be a Joc bomb coming soon. You don’t invite Dwayne Wise to SoxFest unless there is some serious heat to warm his ass up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will tell you something will happen between now and spring training. I also will tell you I have no source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair, but when the eyeballs make an appearance, I take that to mean he has heard something is close to being announced. Obviously “close” is subject to interpretation. If nothing gets announced in the next few days, then I’ll be right there with you saying he was wrong.

Orlando Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Now looking back, eye balls from Dave , a " burner account" and a bunch of ominous posts from Rabbit sent us into a frenzy. I know the burner account is 99% false but everyone seems to trust Dave and Rabbit . Lets see what happens. There is still hope. But I for one am done with trusting vagueness and "scoops".

southsider2k5 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 There are a lot of people who thrive off of the attention of having a source. Most are trash looking for any attention they can get. We have even sunk to self professed burner accounts. What it all boils down to is that this has not been a conventional set of negotiations probably due to the complete collapse of spending, especially from the traditional spending powers. At the end of the day, I am not even sure Sox management knows exactly what the end game is here, which is going to put a smash on information that could be legit, as we see plenty of people who traditionally had info being wrong over and over again.

Princess Dye Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hahn mentioned " next few weeks" regarding big spending possibilities coming to fruition or not. Looks like the agents want a last minute flurry in hopes of piling bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, I am not even sure Sox management knows exactly what the end game is here, which is going to put a smash on information that could be legit, as we see plenty of people who traditionally had info being wrong over and over again. People have to understand that there are probably 3-5 people that know ALL the details about a transaction. I know everyone is tired of hearing the old “things are fluid” statements. What usually leaks out early and gets shared by and with people like Dave and Rabbit and others are high-level, general pieces of information wherein decisions still remain that ultimately impact official announcements and so forth. I know people are impatient, and I know people think these guys are embellishing or just flat-out wrong about things, but they really are not necessarily wrong about what they know, they just don’t have all the pieces of the puzzle. And that is why they are vague to begin with. Then people press them. Then they may try to add additional detail and that ends up being judged. I can say with full confidence that the information these guys get is solid. Take from it what you wish, but they aren’t just out there making things up out of thin air. And remember that when the announcements get made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
