Ok, you guys ready for a conspiracy theory that probably means nothing? Al’s Cheesy Beef has been talking about how Hendrik’s said in an interview that the team he chooses has to embrace this service called “Codify Baseball”. I read the article and he did say that. Al’s talked about how all these Sox players use it. Then I noticed that the official Twitter has been interacting with Al’s tweets. I think to myself “maybe the like every mention of themselves” so I check their likes. This Twitter only likes or retweets MLB players and you guessed it! Al’s Cheesy Beef. I found the fact that they liked this interesting:

I have no idea

Next Hendriks will be debuting his black and silver glove!

Same agent too. What if that’s part of his strategy? Lol

I guess it can be a deciding factor if all else was equal but I don’t know if it’s that big of a deal.

Yeah, I agree but that was two players holding out for decent contracts. This has the potential to be way more damaging. 85% of free agents are available weeks before “spring training”

How catastrophic would it be for baseball if teams just choose not to sign some of these guys? I don't even want to think of the long-term consequences it could have for the game.

Thank you!

Anything in here about Hendriks?

Lol, I vaguely remember this. What did you hear at that party again ?

Totally agree there. Maybe it’s hope because I desperately want the Sox to get better lol but honestly, I have paid attention to these guys and nothing has made me turn on them yet. If they are wrong, I’d totally rip them. K0na is the goat btw.

If you remember, I have historically been anti “inside sources”. The boredom of this offseason caused me to pay more attention and I believe they may be on to something.

Look, I’m going to admit that I am a big believer in Al’s and Portillo’s. There is a long list of things that they had first. I will spare you listing them all but Al’s never promised a Hendriks signing. Al had a tweet yesterday that I agree with. He said that there are things that he has posted first (for example Hendriks is the Sox #1 priority) then the next day Nightengale tweets it and weeks later people accuse Al‘s of stealing from Nightengale. He said Hendriks and his agent left MVP. I’ve looked and it’s listed nowhere. Weeks later people confirm this. I don’t think Maloney should get the hate he gets for posting this stuff. Portillos has been posting for well over a year without a following. This isn’t your typical fake account stuff. Also, Al’s is followed by and interacts with a bunch of real reporters. Plus think of it this way, without Maloney posting these accounts, this board would be dead this offseason.

Absolutely agree. This is brutal.

The meltdown will be epic

If you go to his Twitter it says member since November

Maybe he is counting on you to think that

KW was so mad at La Russa, he quit his job and became a real estate agent.

?? I’d watch it. I think he’s mentioned his “source” before but he could be lying about the real dynamic. Maybe he is the actual source himself ?

Jerry told KW that he has to pay out of pocket any penny above his limit on Hendriks. This is the result.

That’s true. I guess there is more competition in the East. I just don’t buy that the Sox as currently constructed are that much better than some of the other teams involved.

I agree on Kopech. Luis Castillo is a STUD

I know people think the Sox are the better bet for Hendriks talent wise but are they really that much better than Toronto? Especially if Toronto gets a few big fish?

“Stupid bullsh**” and then proceeds to suggest trading Grandal back to the team that couldn’t re-sign him at the Sox price. Also suggests that the Sox would pay Realmuto. Give me a break LOL
