ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm not sure what Dave knows, but my source just told me that he was told "Nothing tonight". That quote came directly from Hahn, and then to my source. Not sure if he means nothing Manny related, or nothing in general. Maybe whatever Dave knows needs to be finalized and won't be announced until tomorrow? Maybe that also ties in to the suprises we are supposed to get during SoxFest? Hopefully a lot of great things happen this weekend. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox acquire Manny, Joc, or Gio before the end of soxfest, I win, you lose. If not, vice versa. 5 day ban. Deal? Considering what has been said, I am reluctant because I think Joc could be soon..just not Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s weird for a guy that you may not sign. Totally normal for a guy you are sure is going to be on your team however. I agree. They're talking about him like he's already on the team. That seems like a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaRoache Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 To be fair, reporters probably have access to Renteria to ask him about the meeting in December. So he is answering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do apply to free agents, but I think they only apply to front offices. It's surprising to hear Ricky talking about it, but as for players, they are walkway talking publicly about wanting to play with a given player. They can say whatever they want.

I'm pretty sure the only things they can't talk about are whether or not they offered someone a contract and what those contract figures are. That is why all the contract numbers have to be leaks and not Hahn just saying what we are offering on a conference call. The other parts of it like talking about players isn't the same as when they are under contract. When they have a contract with a team it could be considered tampering to talk about them, but when they are a free agent there is no team to tamper with, only market rates.

At the GM meetings MLBN was interviewing the Cardinals' GM. When they asked him about free agents he was looking at, he responded "as you know, I can't comment on specific players."

ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 If nothing else, it seems like Manny would play 3B based on Garfien's tweets which is great. Keeps Anderson and Moncada where they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I said, Manny playing third keeps Anderson at shortstop where he's elite defensively and Moncada at second where his skillset is best utilized. It would be amazing. I'm not sure what it would mean for Madrigal but they can worry about that later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
