I would absolutely not trust this being real at all if it wasn't for A) Who he is and B) his confidence in his tweet. But yeah, shocking that Cole wouldn't at least wait for the winter meetings and a couple other pitchers to sign first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Sox are such a dogshit franchise lol, I don't even feel ashamed to say it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I am shocked that he would sign this early. Maybe he always wanted to go to the Angels. Very interested to see the $ numbers on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why Yankee fans thought they were getting him? Cole to the Angels was the biggest slam dunk destination for any player in free agency. It would be shocking to me if he didn't go back home to Anaheim. Now assuming this is happening and happening this early, that's going to lead to a feeding frenzy for Strasburg.

Now assuming this is happening and happening this early, that's going to lead to a feeding frenzy for Strasburg. Well, one they are yankees fans. But two they seemed to posture they would try to get the money to give them the edge. But Arte Moreno is competitive and probably pushed it to a point where cole just said he'd rather be home. I actually am not surprised this is wrapping up early. This is so different than last year. Each marquee player has multiple teams actively bidding and with histories of spending top of market for talent, and also teams that meet players on their own valuations instead of just other teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 We also had someone from Future Sox say the Sox would get Wheeler by Thanksgiving. We see how that worked out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t tell if this is sarcasm but wouldn’t they be much more in tune with the Sox? Also didn’t someone from FutureSox falsely reported Encarnacion to the Astros a few years back?

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I mean, the Wheeler report wasnt exactly wrong - the sox offered the most so I will give a pass there. Still not sure how he got a scoop this big before some big time national writers but, I'll give the benefit of the doubt until this is proven otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
