If the White Sox reel in Manny Machado it will be the most impactful free agent signing since Carlton Fisk in March of 1981. It sends a message. Get it done.
The Chicago White Sox have offered Manny Machado an eight-year deal and could be compelled to go even longer, league sources tell ESPN. The Phillies remain in on him as their Bryce Harper pursuit heats up. The latest on the biggest free agents, at ESPN:

Never forget that the Old Man from "A Christmas Story" was a dour White Sox fan:
"Well, for Christ's sake, the Sox traded Bullfrog... the only player they've got, for Shottenhoffer. "Four Eyes" Shottenhoffer, a utility infielder. Got a whole goddamned team of utility infielders."

Ex-MLB pitcher Jack McDowell alleges that the White Sox used a camera to steal signs in the '80s under the direction of Tony La Russa.
"I'm going to whistle-blow this thing now because I'm getting tired of this crap," he told a radio station.

My prediction for this weekend's series is that there will be one game that the White Sox win by 4-6 runs and they will lose a game by 1 because Tony calls on Rudy Law to pinch hit in a key situation despite the fact that he's 64 and retired from MLB in 1986.

This is an interesting perspective because right now the White Sox are paying $42 million to players who are considerably worse than this hypothetical .202 infielder.
"Particularly in baseball. If you have somebody who decides he wants to spend $42 million on a second baseman who hits .202, and one comes along for you, you’re going to probably have to spend the same money. The whole thing is irrational."
