Nah, I was just pointing out that these leaks always happen somehow. The fact that the national writers don't have anything doesn't matter.
However, I'll still eat a hat if the Sox sign both.
I don't think anyone actually believes that, it's just a fun idea of shocking the baseball world. Just like it's fun to dream about winning the lottery.
k0na never called himself an insider though. He was just a dude who knew about the Danks extension and the Javy Vasquez trade (IIRC).
I always distrust anyone who calls himself an insider.
Seriously though, I don't see him signing with the Giants. Their ML team is terrible and overpaid and the cupboard in the minors is pretty barren. Harper or not, I don't see the Giants being competitive over the next 5. years.
Someone close to the negotiations told me that the Sox were Harper's top choice until he saw the paltry number of pages his thread on soxtalk.com generated. "It's like they don't even want me", were his words.
That's an obvious plant by Lozano.
Tomorrow there will be stores like "Machado might sit out the season"
?
It's just BS nobody should pay attention to.
