Jose Abreu

If they were this deep, I feel like there would have been more leaks by now.

This, plus Heyman predicting the Sox signing Harper, haven't been talked about much but are actually pretty noteworthy.

This is what I was referring to

Or if it eliminates a team from the Harper market, leading to less competition/chance for less bidding

Jon Heyman has Harper going to the Sox, he said on MLB Network

Then why hasn't he already signed with us or Philadelphia?

Have the Sox players formed a mutiny and contacted the MLBPA over extreme managing tactics anytime recently?

So because of a Nightengale article, Joey Doughnuts' uncle, and Ron, everyone thinks we're out now?

He likes his posts but generally doesn't comment. I don't think this means anything but it still is interesting because Harper knew exactly what he was doing when he commented on a White Sox player's post. Just like he knew what he was doing when he followed Rhys Hoskins a few weeks ago.

Bryce Harper: @nickydelmonico This is what it’s all about! Love this brotha!??

Check out the comment section...

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I honestly might prefer the Madrigal-esque guy in that scenario purely due to the substantial OBP difference. but not sure

Oh how the mighty have fallen...

I mean, he prefaced it with "go to bed", so I feel like that means nothing is going to happen tonight

I take it you think he's being used as a pawn to lower expectations?

A lot of the info in this seems wrong but lots of Sox tidbits regardless https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2018/12/12/bryce-harper-scott-boras-las-vegas-baseball-winter-meetings/2294674002/

And in case anyone was holding out hope for something big getting done tonight at the meetings:

Whatever the antonym of downplay is, that's what Hahn is doing about the rumors. He seems to really believe we're getting a whale and he's barely trying to hide it

No Jermaine Dye jokes yet?

I think he meticulously crafted his comments so that fans of every team that's in the running believe that they're the frontrunner.
