If they did ever leave there would be at least five AL teams lined up to move here. Years ago I was kind of wishing for that.

I think most people expected it would take three-oh-oh mils to sign Manchado without knowing that the Sox were never planning to go there. Mgt should never hype up an FA unless they know they can sign him. That is the crux of our fan base disconnect. Now we know they were likely not serious about Harper.

Not making excuses but did anyone consider the possibility that a ten-year deal is not an acceptable risk for some teams? I suppose it is a given that the winner usually overpays on these deals even for a younger player.

The owner and his partners might snag $1B for a $20M investment.

I won't lament the loss of a ten year deal. Long-term it's not a smart plan.

I have never understood such announcements. Bad day at the office.

Which reminds that the Sox could sign two big names and be tied up in knots for a decade. This is a minor league team in a major league market.

Will the prospects be healthy. Big question.

I think where the drama came up short was that the Sox never intended to go to 300. They were semi-serious at best. Manny just waited for someone else to meet his number.

They cannot force people to sign here. You just give it your best. No point in being negative.

Not understanding why moving Moncada to 3B makes sense. Change of scenery?

I was saying all along they should offer 300 as their limit. It is ok not to over-pay.

Every player is different but TA shows a will to work through his problems along with bringing his natural skills to the game. I have no idea where Moncada is headed or what happens if he is unable to improve. We had two guys lead the league in three negative stats. I have concerns that Gio and Yoan have been over-coached and it is not helping them.

Incredible inside news eyes only says John Jay is now #45. Jordan had to give permission.

There is no way to force a deal without paying extortion. Accept that you do not hold all the cards and keep a final walk-away number at the ready. If no luck you move on to the next fish.

Frank is now in the best shape of his life. Eugenix.

Glad we found out where Harper is signing. Now on to Manchado.

Kopech says Eloy is Babe Ruth and Eloy says Kopech is Nolan Ryan. Also note that Vlad and Tatis are only 20 and who knows this #eason.

Adam Wainwright says players are angry over the lack of signings and suggests a walkout could be considered. He acknowledges that metrics have played a role. NY Post

I just spoke with Bryce and it's basically a coin toss btw DC and City Of Bro Love.

No Manny until 1000 pages.

BR and SSShowdown are my two go-to resources

They can't put it on the Internet unless it's true.

It would just be nice for one of the prospects to step up and show us a thing or two. Not just Eloy but someone like Seb.

The only sure good news is we play the Trolley Dodgers in ten days.
