I wonder if Baltimore will grant them an extension period. I don’t see how you could trade for him without having one if you’re a club like the White Sox, even if it means giving up more in the form of prospects.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports reports that although Baltimore is trying to trade their third baseman by the end of the week, they’re also “strongly pursuing” Royals starter Danny Duffy.

Wondering if the deal with the White Sox involves any MLB ready players, I assume if the White Sox are willing to trade for Manny then Jose A. is not being moved. Matt Davidson to Baltimore + prospects?

It sounds like it will be for 2 pitching prospects and it will be the 2 pitchers they got out of the Adam Eaton trade. Baltimore wants pitching prospects for Machado. White Sox have a lot money available and think they can sign Machado. This has disaster written all over it for the White Sox.

What I am missing? Why would CWS trade for Manny if he's said he won't open a negotiating window?

Some tend to think trading for a player early enhances their chances of resigning him. I get the thinking, but Manny just wants to go to the highest bidder, he wants to get paid. Kinda like Greinke

Did he actually say this?

I assume to make this happen, they will get a handshake agreement, but that obviously doesn't mean anything.

Like the guy above said I am sure the top prospects will be pitchers close to the bigs. I bet Giolito headlines it

It'll probably be one of Cease, Hansen, or Dunning headlining a package imo. They'll probably dump Fulmer in it as well if it happens.

The last thing I heard about cishek was him getting taken out of the closer role a few years ago.

Does he still suck or did he rebound?

I’m not sure what they mean by “top prospects.”

I guess it just depends on who’s still considered a prospect.

Happ is the only one that I think would qualify. All the others have been up for awhile.
