These agents are dumb. There was always going to be a mad dash to the finish for the Harper negotiations.

Only thing I can think is Sox told Boras an extremely high number they'd pay (350 or so), but Boras can't leak them as a team due to the Manny backlash? Could be why we've heard lately that there's another team besides Phillies that have offered over 300, but that team hasn't been mentioned.

Meaning?

Sadly I’m sure Sox front office thinks Sale wants to return

I know everyone was excited about yesterday’s lineup, but what other internal difference makers are there in the organization? Almost feels now that catcher or right fielder are biggest areas to focus on for offense.

It was never gonna happen. They didn’t move Yoan to 3rd just to move him back again.

Why are we mad that Nolan signed the extension? I think it’s pretty cool.

Goes to to show you how great a deal Padres got with Manny

Baltimore has 5 guys in the running supposedly

I love shack, but kOna will forever be the best insider of all time

Well he did say earlier in the day the door was "wide f**king open"

Apparently the AL colluded together

Seeing all over twitter that Heyman said on the radio the 5 teams still under consideration...... Phillies, Giants, Dodgers, Braves, Cubs Braves and Cubs considered longshots.

Yoan off to great start

It would shock me if he wanted to play for a team that’s not an immediate contender.

Moncada, Jimenez and Robert in the lineup

Offer 10/335 and make him say no

Joc to the Indians makes far too much sense

This isn’t directed at you, but the amount of “tough guys” on this site over the last week has been too much. Everyone can be pissed at the Sox, but far too many posters are taking out their frustrations on other posters.

I’ve never heard a GM say “you never know who the 3-4-5 will be, still moves to be made” basically unprompted. That level of cockiness was embarrassing in retrospect.

Easily Joc. Also by rule I don’t think you can trade someone you sign as a free agent until a certain date (unless they agree to it)

Yeah that’s a great deal. The 10 mil a year AAV will help them with the luxury tax as well.

But for the Padres he seemed like a good fit

All along, the organization said it mattered what happened this offseason with regards to where Yoan played. It didn’t take a genius to realize he would be at 3rd if they didn’t get Manny. Once Moustakas signed and Yoan practiced at 3rd, it seemed over to me.
