More on #WhiteSox, conflicts with previous tweet: Source says #Nationals have not made counter-offer on Dunn "in days." Truth at 4 pm! - Rosenthal

 

Wow, so we just got Jackson for the hell of it?

We got Jackson because we wanted Jackson. I say this after every trade KW makes that looks bad but has someone suggesting "wait, this is just part of a larger deal!"

 

If Jackson was even likely to go to Washington, the Sox wouldn't have made the deal, they'd have waited and tried to make it a 3 way deal that gets sent to the Commish. You don't complete the first deal unless you want the guy in the first deal, because the final deal can always fall apart.

That's what I mean, for the hell of it as in they wanted Jackson himself.

Throw in a "due dilligence" in there.

We are minutes away from the :

"I believe in the talent. We were only going to do something that made sense. There were some interesting offers out there, but ultimately we felt they did not make the White Sox better" speech.
