Bruce and Nightengale have seemed to have their fingers on this better than Passan. So this kinda sucks.

Bruce hasn't been respectable, in regards to breaking news, in years. Levine and Nightengale are getting their info from the Sox to try and drum down prices while Passan is doing the opposite for the Machado camp. It's pretty obvious at this point.

I would love it if the Sox announced this first officially, beating all the journalist and the insiders to the punch. 

Only if guys like rabbit or wsd can't get the scoop!

Not annoying. Just doesn't overdose on the kool and like others....😞

 

just seems overly negative. Like I get the pessimism on the FO, but it seems a bit extreme lol

so this is my first day, is "Dick Allen" always this annoying?

 

EDIT: maybe "negative" is a better word.

 I wouldn't call Robert and Dunning a fair price.
Like I said, I'd pay a fair price if the Sox still need a 3B.
Or another young 3B top  3B prospect.   Beats signing moustakas.

Robert & Dunning would be a HUGE overpay for a guy who most likely ends up at 1st. He was one of the worst 3bs in baseball last year.
