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

Likely from a WSox official that would have no reason to tell him their offer

College teammates

Not at all

He’s been wrong a lot

2010 starting WSox catcher

Fine with me

Lots of reports that Yankees haven’t been told they’re out. Seems like more posturing by Lozano.

Sure he’s just trying to get Yonder’s option picked up and Jay a 2-year deal

He was with JR and Manny at the Bears game. They’re going to make a documentary about the season called Sky’s The Limit.

And a reference to Manny’s philosophy on playing baseball

He has a tattoo that has the same phrase

Well that would save JR like 18 million dollars!

I know it's a minor thing, but it's a little odd to me that Jay's deal hasn't been announced yet.

If it's between Phillies and Sox now, the only thing they can lose out on is money. They don't have to deal with the "preferred team", and they should have some advantage with his buddies on the roster. They've come this far, it's not the time to let money get in the way.

to paraphrase, there's a source that he's used for previous Yankees information (trade package Indians wanted, Britton deal) that has talked to ex-teammates.

Simonetti had a youtube vlog today where he confirmed that more than one ex-teammate has said Manny will go to the Yankees (before and after he met with the Yankees).

Used to write for Barstool about the Yankees:

Jay is fine. Alonso would be pointless.

They absolutely would look like clowns if they brought in his buddies and he went elsewhere. It’s real simple, you don’t make the moves unless you know you can win a bidding war. No more of this “they will fall in love with the culture and give a discount” nonsense.

I love this post so much

You mean you wouldn’t want to watch Alonso, Moustakas and Jay in same lineup as a daily reminder of their failure?
