Ross Gload Fan Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Did anyone ask Yonder what hat Manny had on? I would think that would be an important thing to ask. Edited January 24, 2019 by Ross Gload Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll ask Manny what he thinks at the announcement tomorrow. Thsle soxfest surprise is a yearly conspiracy. Thank Kenny Lofton. Nothing has ever come of it since then but every year the rumor will come along anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final shot is Machado spraying the camera lens black. Ok and maybe a shot of MAnny launching Ian Happ into a TV trailor like a lawn dart lol. Make the last part that piece of shit Pedro Strop and I’m in. Edited January 25, 2019 by The Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy some sort of ticket package and split it with friends, definitely. Only if Machado signs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys heard it, there actually will not be a Manny announcement at soxfest. Carry on, everyone. Not sure if these are sarcasm, but I don't have any sources so dont trust me lol unless you want to trust my confidence. Which is 100% that it won't happen. I really hope, but it won't Quote 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?

Mooseman Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So are the Garfein tweets quoting Renteria coming out because he's basically signed and they wanna make sure any fans that would have an issue with the Johnny Hustle comment or his allgedly only wanting to play SS is debunked? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 It just seems like Renteria and Yonder are very comfortable with publicly talking about Manny right now. 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Renteria going public about the issues with Machado being resolved is perhaps the biggest hint that he is coming to the Sox. Rick said that Manny agreed to play wherever the team needed him and that they discussed the "Johnny Hustle" controversy, and indicated that it wouldn't be an issue. If he isn't going to be part of the team, why bother addressing these points, all of a sudden? He never discussed any of this, in the days following the meeting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) It seems that several of us are taking this as a very positive indication. Does anyone disagree and, if so, why? For those who question how the signing could remain a secret, it appears that Alonso, Renteria, Roeper and a few more people, prove that it couldn't.

Does anyone disagree and, if so, why? I feel like the lack of rumors of other teams offers, the willingness to the Sox to get Jon Jay, looking at acquiring Pederson, the lack of the front office trying to downplay their involvement in him (not even a downplay / throwing cold water on rumors from the local reporters for that matter) and the talking about Machado almost as if he is a member of the team are all indicators the Sox feel very confident they land him.

Yea, you respond to that after the meeting takes place. I believe it was discussed after his Yankees meeting. Seems oddly placed to discuss that at this point, this far into the process. Unless the media are legitimately grasping at any other Machado content they haven't already beaten to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
