This photo was from last year in the normal Orioles uniform and he was using the same glove he used with the Dodgers. Anyway, my point was that while the black and white gloves almost certainly means Manny is leaning towards signing here, he could still change his mind and just switch gloves, anyway. Looks like he uses several throughout the season anyway.

But where will he get the money to buy multiple gloves?

check the other thread that has spring training tweets.

Thanks. He looks very strong. Those are the widest shoulders, I think that I have ever seen on a Sox player. Reminds me of Greg Luzinski. He might have benefited by gearing his training more toward slimming down.

He has what I like to call a Midwest build

Can we get any of our board sources to weigh in on this stuff?

Not sure about the whole glove gate. Heard from a friend of security at the cell that something might be going on Thursday. Really doubt it though.

My source didn't say anything was imminent but they are hopeful. Same as the previous couple weeks.

Players complaining that the market isn't right because both Manny and Bryce aren't signed are short sighted. A team that has never offered a contract above $68m has offered a contract worth at least $100m more. Why aren't players commenting on that?

The players aren't wrong, but it's their own fault is all.  They sold out young players to sign 9 figure deals as 30 year olds, teams finally caught up that they aren't worth that so they'll need to strike and pay young guys 10x more
