maloney.adam Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) It might be either Quintana or Cruz signing with another team but who knows. A lot of smoke right now. Edited January 18, 2021 by maloney.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I give a La Stella signing a better chance over Cruz. I don’t think he would know about those extensions. He clearly has links to foreign players. I’m just surprised he didn’t say what he thinks it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how he would have the scoop on any of those unless he ran into them in Punta Cana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding power. He cant play a position that great but you'd get through it with him at 2b against tough righties in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his scoops come from connections to Latin players or agents. I don’t think I’ve seen him report on much of anything stateside.

Jose Abreu Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Yeah, so this is the guy Passan was roasting, not Hector. This makes a lot more sense given that Passan has credited Hector in the past 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Just now, Jose Abreu said: Is his agent Dominican? If so, yes Baseball Reference lists Wasserman as his agency. Not sure if that helps my speculation at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Decided to look through the free agents that are of Dominican decent. Obviously there is Ozuna and Cruz, but the lesser know recognizable guys are: Jonathan Villar, Hanser Alberto, Pedro Strop, Maikel Franco, Edwin Encarnacion, Alex Colome, Danny Salazar, Nomar Mazara... you get the idea. There is no one on that list that would make Sox fans happy (maybe Colome - but that doesn't make sense for a return). I honestly think he is referring to Norge Vera, who I'm pretty certain works out in the Dominican Republic and hasn't officially signed with the Sox yet.

It’s hard to say but everybody knows that Norge Vera is signing with the Sox so why would Hector say this if it’s already imminent.
