Blackout Friday

That’s a poor spin rate.

I don’t think that was a Hahn quote, but more of an interpretation by the author of the article.

All these pundits be joc blockin

Who knows. Maybe he wanted to, but was advised to wait.

Lozano knows it’s SoxFest. He knows the front office will feel extra pressure this weekend. Good time to apply some pressure. Not or saying that’s what this is. Who the hell knows? But the timing would be right on his end to make Hahn, JR, et al sweat a little bit.

It also kind of suggests they’re out on Harper, which seems like something they would only do if Machado was on board.

Sergio Romo

Or two rolling ones

Yeah I was thinking that too. Not saying I believe it, but that was my reaction.

Your battery life is giving me anxiety.

If they just listened to Costanza, they could have had Bonds and Griffey in the same outfield....and they didn’t really have to give up that much!

Nah.

I asked an impartial third party if this was worth getting excited over. His response was, and I quote: “Nah. Well, maybe. I don’t fucking know.” So there you have it, folks.

Not a 3, it’s a 13. He got his number stitched on the side, obviously.

I’m just surprised Reinsdorf let HahnBot express human emotion.

Phew. We can breathe again.

I have a hunch it was actually 2. My bad. I don’t know your county’s time zone’s as well as I thought. My mom was right....I am a disappointment.

One hour

Guys, I’ve been holding back. I’m Jerry Reinsdorf. Mr, Lockwood, send me $100 and I will get this deal done. PM me for PayPal info.

I wasn’t trying to pick on you, was just hard to follow. Was kind of teasing.

C’mon man

Makes sense. Being the messenger sucks sometimes. I’m sure the other teams involved are also frustrated and exhausted. Thanks for the input.

I think that would be more than fair. I imagine everyone just wants an answer. Being in limbo creates anxiety.

Maybe this is silly, but it made me think of that movie critic’s tweet. Roeper? Can’t remember his name.

I’m in no way an insider or source, nor will I pretend to be. But I worked with a current GM (unrelated to any Sox stuff or relevant negotiations) that wheeled a mega trade minutes before walking down the aisle to get married. I don’t think the higher ups really take time off.
