Taking a 1-year deal and signing after season started is a brutal idea. You’re only costing yourself a ton of money in your next deal if you slump in 2019, and not having a Spring Training is a nice recipe for decreased production.

Yeah so does Herrera. Goes without saying, but Hahn really needs to finish the offseason strong to avoid “losing the offseason”.

Harper almost suffered a terrible knee injury two years ago

This is what you don’t want to hear, as CC thinks Yankees still have a shot https://mobile.twitter.com/YankeesSZN19/status/1091052721061416960

At this point, I don’t think having this done by start of ST is important at all to the big 2. Who wouldn’t want to try to get a few more millions while missing “practice”. Hahn even acknowledged it could go to March.

Or maybe they’ve been in all along, and just wanted to keep it quiet as they worked on Kluber and Realmuto?

Where was it confirmed that he wouldn’t meet?

Knicks are going to get Durant and Irving, IMO

Wasn’t Manny in Florida for his IG Live chat yesterday?

Not a fan of Padres involvement in this. We really need the Phillies to get Harper.

Sign a lefty and trade Jace

According to Hahn, Alonso wasn’t even considered until after the winter meetings. Sounds like it came together in 24 hours.

This is correct, and I also believe this person confirmed they're 16 years old.

Harper to Phillies is great news for Sox, if it happens. The worst thing for the Sox chances with Manny is if Harper signed first with someone besides Philly

It’s obvious that someone jumped the gun on Joc going to the Sox. The thing is, it wasn’t wsd or rabbit that jumped the gun. They can only go with what they hear, and I know they try to confirm everything they hear. It’s not hard to see how the Joc deal could have hit a snag, as even Dodgers sources were saying a Pollock trade would mean Joc was being dealt.

His ceiling is being known as “the other Manny”

What devastating news to hear that Ambrose is leaving. If Renee goes also, I’m not sure how I will ever be able to watch WWE again. It will be hard to replace consistently bad matches on the upper-card and the “oh” coming from the announce team.

Anderson promotion, Yanks being out on Manny

You will also notice that none of the insiders have said anything is officially done that hasn’t been announced. Even Hahn has said there have been things that were progressing and then went back a step or two.

This isn’t some premium board where we’re paying for insider info. I appreciate people sharing information when they can.

Except Dave specifically said it wasn’t about Manny

Just listened to Hahn with Kaplan. Two things that stood out: - mentioned trade discussions, which means it’s not just talking to free agents like someone suggested earlier - he adamantly agreed with Kaplan about the idea of not spending just to spend if they miss on the big guys

How weird was it with the dugout entrances? Also hope you didn’t get blinded by the light shining.

The crowd was completely dead for the AJ vs Bryan match...like awkwardly silent
