That seems to happen with high profile acquisitions - Moncada...Frazier...Dunn... It didn’t happen with Albert Belle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if by a small chance this isn't fake. And you're right the culprit is someone from this message board. But it's one of the few with a source. And did the burner account to protect the source and They're identity. It almost seemed very familiar. The way they wrote it. The eyeballs again. They may even be lurking to see if we can figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada- unproven talent with upside frazier- older than manny, pretty one dimensional player Dunn- much older than manny also one dimensional Machado- young, proven, 5 tool player 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't ever recall the Sox acquiring someone like him before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean he’s telling him to go there over the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully their source is wrong or it's just the Sox using them to negotiate in the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
