He’s the only one that has mentioned Laz, right? I mentioned laz in the first page or so of joc thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) I'm buying it and still think that this burner Twitter account is the Reinsdorfs. As I said earlier; perhaps Machado's team was trying to maximize the leverage of Sox Fest, knowing that the front office would have loved to have been able to answer all of the fans' questions about Manny, in the affirmative. Now that Sox Fest is over and the Sox didn't give in to Lozano's demands, I think Manny signs soon. The Pederson trade has other contingencies, as we have discussed, on both sides. My only question is; Would such a tweet be in violation of the CBA? Edited January 28, 2019 by Lillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero chance that any Reinsdorf is doing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian I’m usually with you but there is no way a Reinsdorf is going to waste his time with a silly burner account. They just don’t strike me as the burner type in the least bit.

Jerksticks Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 It’s crazy that we are about to sign Machado for 30+M and Abreu will probably end up with a better offensive season, but less WAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machado has had a better OPS+ than Abreu two out of the last three years, and did it while playing gold glove 3B (and some less than stellar SS).

Lillian Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Setting aside all of the other factors, which would be part of any consideration for one of J. R's sons to tweet that, can you see how they might desire to anonymously and secretly provide some good news to the fan base?

If they wanted this news out there, they'd give it to whoever their favored beat writer/reporter is. There's no reason to be completely anonymous about it.
