every story the last few weeks was that the Phillies preferred Manny

Also why you better be willing to pay a substantial amount to make the Yankees not want to come close to it.

Morosi also said that Manny hasn't even been given a formal contract from the Yankees yet.

Morosi was on the radio a few hours ago and said that he feels Manny will take any final offers back to the Yankees to see if they can compete with it, as will Harper with the Dodgers.

I'm guessing the players involved that Hahn never had conversations with were Brantley/Cruz/Moustakas.

Nothing like the GM signing his former client

I preferred the Emmalina build

yes

FWIW, Machado had a picture of that same room on his Instagram account a few weeks ago

or this is his "follow the YES Network" on Instagram troll of the Sox.

nope?

excellent, even though yanks fans are convinced Heyman was the source for Gomez to start with.

Yeah, highly doubt he's trolling, but I highly doubt he knows anything official. I'm sure he's heard they're going after the big guys like we all have.

I would say YES is more directly related to the Yankees though

Nothing like a Reinsdorf-affiliated company tweeting this:

Look on the bright side, at least Jay is saying he has to do what's best for his family and not saying that all Manny cares about is winning.

He did have some comments about Jay today

yep, and even saying "let's see how it shakes out" is something I personally would say if I'm hopeful of something.

yeah, nothing he said is any reason to be more or less optimistic.

sure it's possible...they did that to get Teixeira

Cooper also with incredibly glowing reviews of Cease. He’s definitely on the fast track to Chicago. Seemed a bit down on Burdi.

On today’s WS Talk podcast, Cooper made it seem like Herrera would be used in the 8th and Colome in the 9th. Also made it seem like they’re still looking to add to the bullpen.

Maybe Bob thinks Manny wants to top the salary that old reliever Mike Stanton used to have, and not Giancarlo
