I think it will be Roark and Wood if they miss out

Wouldn’t the same be true for the other teams involved with Wheeler? With all due respect, I think you’re letting some of the eyeball emojis and “smoke” from last week make you think a deal was closer with the Sox than it really was. If anything, Sox probably tried to close the deal by Wheeler wanted to wait.

PTSD from last offseason is strong this morning

I don’t think Sox did anything wrong. Of course Wheeler’s agent was going to be patient. Who knows, Phillies could have been in the lead the whole time. This isn’t a Manny situation where it was only a few teams involved.

Well, definitely not an agent ploy as Jim is as legit as it gets

I’m with you. If you’re willing to go 6 years, then spend the money and get Strasburg.

Ugh Stoney implying Wheeler was 6 years

All this talk about Joc, and no one is focusing on Castellanos, a player many in the media have mentioned today in connection with the Sox

Can’t wait for Adam Wheeler to be on the WS Talk Podcast soon

Be shocked if one of them wasn’t included

Or trade Lopez to a team like Seattle

Clearly Sox should offer Wheeler 5 year deal with a 6th year option kicking in if he makes 35 starts in that 5th year

If that’s all it takes...see ya Pilkington

Next three hours

And forgot he was no longer on Seattle

How do we know the Sox offer

No clue at how legit this account is, but the information he’s provided last month is well-worded, if nothing else https://mobile.twitter.com/HotStoveintel/status/1201915072114823168

Sounds good to me

Considering he’s going to be in Hawaii during the Winter Meetings, it sure doesn’t seem he’s planning on signing soon.

This would be a big mistake. McCann is very likely to be an offensive liability, and Grandal is most valuable if you get him catching more often than not. As for Collins, I just don’t believe the organization is willing to count on him as primary DH.

Especially with Yankees going after Cole and Strasburg, potentially getting Wheeler even more money from the Angels. I still think Wheeler is nuts to decide before Cole and Strasburg do.

He was my pick if they traded Madrigal. I think he gets a starting spot elsewhere.

It will likely be him saying how promising the Sox future is and that any free agent should be interested in them.

Problem is he’s had oblique issues 2 of the last 3 years. He also looked washed up last time in the AL.
