So a guy with strong Sox sources says he loves their chances with Machado, yet people are fixated on if he’s a jerk or not? I get it, WSD isn’t for everyone. But I trust him a hell of a lot more than Nightengale.

To be fair, he never said it was a baseball announcement. As a matter of fact, when he said announcement and not rumor, I figured it wasn’t a baseball rumor.

None of those details have been proven false yet though

Or they didn’t get Manny

RIP Mean Gene

To me, it all boils down to whether or not they want to trade Andujar. If they do, then none of these other acquisitions matter and Manny will end up at 3rd there.

I’m sure it’s true, but the Yankees would never, ever admit they were out on Manny after they got Tulo. That’s a good way to get your fan base to hate someone.

Something that could be interesting is if Yanks hold off on announcing the Manny deal for a few days (if he signs) to give them more leverage in trading Andujar

And then Omar manages the Sox in a year and they bunt 20 times a game vs Cleveland

Nope, confident comment was from last Red Line podcast

I’m assuming it’s a different source than the one that said Sox are very, very confident they get one of the two.

Pretty sure the Sox would trade Rodon for Andujar in a heartbeat.

Sounds like he was told he can play SS. Now it’s just a matter of seeing if they get Manny or trade Andujar. This should also reaffirm the reports the Yanks front office isn’t all on board with Manny.

Yeah give him a few years to see if he can become serviceable.

Or maybe they went cheap at SS and shift focus to Harper? That’s what they should do.

I don’t buy the lack of offers yet at all

Believe so, but he also is a bigger fan of playing time I’m sure

Exactly, unless Manny is fine playing 3B and Andujar gets flipped. If so, call the Yanks and trade Rodon for Andujar

I would say I went from 99% certain to 98% with the Tulo news

Not a single thing. I will be shocked if it’s not the Yankees. I will say that I’m confident Hahn knows either way by now.

And absolutely nothing that suggests he’s picking Phillies or WSox

Someone will report the Sox are trading Nick Madrigal to the Yankees!

I have a hard time believing that if manny was hanging out with judge, only one person reported it

If we get past tomorrow without a decision, that will be promising. Seen some smoke here and there that Jan 2nd was when he would announce for Yanks.

And their catcher isn’t bad anyways. If they’re going all in, then get Kluber instead.
