I know everyone is used to the past few off-season, but it's possible to meet and submit a bid. Then an agent circles back and says we need this or we're out. Possible cole had an outlandish price to play out east or in the midwest and yanks were only suitor so he signed with the Angels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that. But when your twitter has your position listed on the personal twitter, if the info is incorrect, you do open the door to a lot of bashing. Fair or not, people aren't going to separate the two. It wouldn't surprise me if this is correct though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yankees basically told the guy the money would be what he wants and he still would have passed. This could have just been a shit off season for this stuff. Cole wanted to go home.

My point remains; the Yankees would outbid the Angels for Cole - from knowing what we know about Cashman, and what he actually did say at the meeting yesterday.

poppysox Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 These guys getting 9 figures can afford to leave a few million on the table for preferences such as hometown and weather. The other normal guys follow the money. The whole super star thing is hard to compute for average joes. What is troubling to me is guys like Wheeler are not super stars but getting that kind of money. One or two of these big deals going South and you are sunk for the next decade. Heavy duty gambling.

How am I a Yankees fan? I woke up at 2am for some reason, checked this, saw the info and suddenly realized if the Yankees didn't land Cole they were going to go all-in on Strasburg, whom I still am hopeful the Sox somehow surprise me on. Sorry that what I asked to have changed (the thread title) caused so many "hard workers at FutureSox" so much pain WHEN THE FUCKING THREAD TITLE SAYS "PER FUTURESOX". We have a thread here that's still fabrication saying Gerritt Cole is headed to the Angels, and the very title says the opposite of what people are say (personal Twitters do not represent FutureSox). I see little has changed around here. Simple, basic moderation is completely ignored.

The story was a complete fabrication that Derrick Rose was returning on a given day. ? I shouldn't have done it, and the site's long gone. C'est la vie. Now I focus on family and career and find much more joy and success. ? Doesn't change the fact that this thread still being titled what it is is a bad look on Soxtalk (and by it's given name, FutureSox). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the Heyman Tweet that said that., that Tweet is older than the Heyman one I cited about Cole assuring them he had no west coast bias.
