He can be sitting in the Sox dugout and I would still be skeptical at this point.

This is the only explanation to this off season that makes sense to me.

True. If something were to happen, I'm sure something would leak before then to hype it up for the casual fans.

Nobody knows. The only guarantee is that we are closer than we were yesterday.

How much do the players actually know in regards to FO signing free agents?

He knew this question was coming. I'm a little surprised he didn't have a "rehearsed" answer. But, it was also pure BS when he said he wasn't following the Manny rumors. It's either 1) going to make your team better or 2) take you out of your natural position and cause you to make major adjustments

I agree. I'd take that defense 100% of the time. I'm not sure how much 3B/SS is playing into his decision. Perhaps it is one of the many reasons this thing is dragging on.

Welp. There goes my overreaction quota for the day.

I just saw that Palka was wearing a #63 jersey. It probably doesn't mean anything, but it sounds like something we can over-speculate on.

According to Megan Mawicke on Twitter, Tim said he prefers shortstop, but then added he will do what the team wants him to do. I've never heard of Mawicke until now, but I wouldn't mind if he said something like this.

And Melo is going to be releases as soon as he clears waivers.

Can't wait for caller that says "Is the reason Harper hasn't signed because the Cubs haven't made an offer yet?"

White Sox will receive Pat Burrell, who will be coming out of retirement.

I usually don't get hyped about that but it's a slow day. He also follows: Tim Anderson Frank Thomas Then I stopped scrolling when I saw last year's Dodger's roster.

Let's see 1) #hattalk 2) Manny's estranged father 3) Lozano calling out reporters And there's plenty more.

I took it more as he's being patient and not going to jump into anything. However, it's such a vague statement we can assume it means pretty much anything.

Or the notional value......do we have an econ/biology major in this thread that can help us out?

Plot twist....Bruce Levine is the father and he was right all along..

We need to add a family counselor to the payroll.

Yeah, but that could also mean his parents are divorced and he lives far away. I have a buddy like that who is close to his dad, but wouldn't say he was a father figure because he'd only see him every once in a while even though they always talked.

Also, if that's the case would this be a way to leak information without breaking the CBA (I believe).

It's very possible. Perhaps that's why Hector Gomez was so positive about the contract numbers.

Opening Day*

I have two extra rooms in my house. We're bringing all his friends and family up here. Everybody open up your doors!

He said the Sox and Phillies which is common knowledge at this point. I think he threw two big market teams in there for some reason. I'm not exactly sure of the motive, but we've covered almost every avenue possible at this point in the process.
