Jose Abreu Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 1 minute ago, Dick Allen said: So there’s an empty locker. The Sox are after Manny. If he signs maybe that is his locker. But I don’t get where anyone can come up with Alonso hinting at anything posting this picture. Which is why I prefaced it with “it doesn’t mean anything”. I agree with you, I just don’t think anyone is losing their minds by thinking it’s empty when it pretty clearly is relative to the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 When Manny signs, I’m gonna take video of the presser and overlay that old song that goes, ”buttercup buttercup ooooowap ah buttercup.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) So now Hector is saying there are many possibilities for Manny, if my translation is correct https://mobile.twitter.com/hgomez27/status/1093656856826908675 Edited February 7, 2019 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The security rumor guy was either reaching or lying. Hector Gomez has been saying stuff all winter and the language barrier clearly is an obstacle when deciphering his tone. The Alonso locker pic is nothing. How do we keep allowing ourselves to fall into these traps of something being imminent lol. Until passan or Rosenthal straight up say a deal is close, everything is BS!

fathom Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I've been sharing stuff from him all offseason, so what's one more (and this is why you don't try to get Manny at the lowest price if you're the Sox): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is you know the first question people will have when they open the ST locker room to the media is “who is next Alonso and Jay”. The fact there’s an empty one is not a bad thing.

justBLAZE Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Fans and bloggers alike have been reaching for the last two months. I'm not gonna lie when the word came out Manny will make his decision after New Years never in millions years did I think this will drag on until Spring Training, and here we are.

But I don’t get where anyone can come up with Alonso hinting at anything posting this picture. That was my point. It might be an empty locker, it appears even likely and would make 100% sense to leave a spot open for Manny next to them, but I don't see how this was cryptic or winking in any way by Alonso. Now if he posted the ENTIRE empty locker, that would make me think he's trying to wink at Manny, but his failure to crop the photo perfectly means nothing to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Made up twitter BS aside, what irks me the most is that he is calling himself 'source'. Like dude, you may have sources, but BEING the source would mean that you are involved in the negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The Yankees are not getting either. Anyone that says otherwise at this point is just pandering to the social media Yankees fans that can’t get it through their thick skulls that their team isn’t interested in superstars because of cost.
