It's also interesting that his teammates are talking so openly about him wanting to play in Oakland because of his success there. You'd think they'd keep his preferences under wraps out of respect. Unless he asked them to do this to test his market early and give other teams a chance to pay up or find other solutions. Expand If you go back a year ago, there were all the Machado/Harper rumors and Nightengale was often quoted. He like many was way off. Remember Manny wanted the East coast? there will be all kind of Cole rumors this year like last. Hopefully the Sox target who they want while the pack chases Cole.

Expand Yeah but these quotes are coming directly from teammates Cole talks to regularly. They didn't even hide their names in the middle of a championship run. This means if the Sox want Cole they better overpay, or try to get other guys early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsox05 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I fully expect teams like Philly to be involved.

Expand Sure...and Myers. We shall see. Maybe JR will finally wake up from his stupor if that happens. Or we’ll have a parade of posts trumpeting an aversion to “irrational exuberance” on the FA market. That spreading out money over a whole host of players like 2004-05 is the way to go every time, and that the presence of Harper, Machado, Rendon, Strasburg and Cole alone would mean nothing to the White Sox, other than a looming contract albatross. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
