IT WORKED! Kind of.

Barry Jackson (MIA Beat Writer): Marlins bid but are reportedly out of running for Cuban 1B Jose Dariel Abreu, who Fox says will likely get 6 yrs, $68 M from White Sox.

Its 50/50 white sox or rangers right now according to SB Nation

I don't know how the Rangers are even in the position to be bidding today against the Sox with Ryan stepping down. Could be wrong but I really hope this is just some smoke before the prestige of Mr. Abreu signing with The Chicago White Sox

I'm sure there is a continuity plan in place for that sort of thing...

No doubt, but this going down on the same day just strikes me as odd. I think this thing sped up today with the Sox accelerating things and it caught Texas off guard and they are making a last ditch effort to nab him. Hopefully albeit to late!

I hope someone can fill me in on how this predictor translator works:

 

“@enosarris: Abreu's in news, so here's his Davenport Translation (biggest sample): .321/.446/.660. DT for Cespedes .271/.338/.489 (real: 265/.324/.472)”

 

Damn, that would be awesome.

Sources: Rangers not expected to sign Cuban 1B Jose Abreu. Won't go to $68M, the size of current six-year offer. Most speculate White Sox.

So those turds just wasted my worries for nothing.

 

All this excitement for a guy we know nothing about - I love sports.

People replying to my tweet seem to think this Evan Grant fellow doesn't really have a source, or his source sucks so I guess take that FWIW.

 

He does have a separate source and a reliable one. Got that Rios trade almost right before everyone else.

If true, credit it the contract wiz Hahn with the trades this season to make it possible. The kid deserves a lot of credit if he pulls this off. Hopefully he has a few more clogs in his offseason plan. I miss October baseball, well good baseball in general.
