When Manny is ready to sign and show the Sox he is serious there will be a good offer. Then the phone lines will be burning up.

Your story was a real Whopper.

The roster situation is ruining the game. We might as well starting teaching pitchers to play CF. Davidson has a point.

Wonder if Avi has even gotten an invite somewhere. Quite a fall. He prob would prefer a new org at this point. You have to stay healthy #1 and he is a bit clumsy.

Sale minimum 12 year offer yes!!

What a scoop. Any sec now.

No worries Dan Clark is my burner account.

Yahoo says Sox have a ten year offer for Harpo. We don't really know what the last offers will be. That's how free agency works.

I would guess that more than one team would at least open at around seven years. This was not a secret. The opt-outs and front loading would go along with that.

I see Rodon making maybe 25 starts. He will be challenged to sustain a full workload.

You should write a book.

He has not said he is signing with the Yankees. It was known that the Yanks are his preferred team. He unfollowed their network.

The most logical thought would be that he is trying to get more dough out of the Yanks while we are his fallback.

YES but he also signed up for South Side Showdown.

These two guys are holding up a lot of teams and players from making deals. There are 200 FA's out there.

I would like to wish for some more wins in 2019.

I can tell you the Cubs get a lot more clicks than the Sox which would fall under marketing.

Likely that many big markets rarely take Soxorg seriously based upon history.

Did anyone catch five tweets from Steve Phillips Friday. Does not believe Cubs Phil's Nat's or Dodgers are IN on Harpo. Then he points to the alt Chicago team. Again I would never count on a player who works with Boras. We have no concrete hints that Harpo is headed here.

Wonder what Yonder Hither knows and if he is talking. If fake Ken R calls the Yanks then we would know it's not happening. As for Desperado Dan Clark I remember a certain musician who says there is no such thing as bad publicity. Evermore true in the days of social media.

I would say Harpo catching for the Sox is more likely. Sorry.

MLBTR says Machado future up in the air, Yanks focussed on bullpen. The story could have started as a plant. Yet the Yanks were said not to be offering the max money. The rumors could simply reflect the fact that Machado prefers the Yankees. Dan Clark?

Roster sizes cannot keep up with today's strategy needs. It would be nice to allow 3 inactives each game but the owners would not want to pay for that. Present-day roster needs are not being addressed.

Teams really need at least 15 pitchers to strategize in today's game. Have two guys pitch a few innings each game and then use the bullpen. We see starters getting pulled earlier so use a backup starter as a bridge. This is where we are headed.

Expected surprises are rare but I get what you mean. Any deal would be of interest.
