Doesn't sound in any way confirmed, but WSD suggesting Yonder is at the presentation. WSD also mixed around that Alonso's sister is married to Manny. https://www.barstoolsports.com/chicago/manny-machado-is-at-guaranteed-rate-stadium-as-we-speak/?_branch_match_id=597156530125510106

Some interesting Dodgers tidbit in this brief interview: https://wttspod.com/wtts-dodgers-favorites-bryce-harper/

Adam LaRoche Jose Paniagua Jeff Keppinger James Shields Jack Parkman

yes, he knows him very well

I still think the "playing with family" angle could also help his reputation instead of being the guy that only signed with a 100 loss team cause they offered the most money.

And immediately criticized how quickly he was walking

Again who knows if this works, but we would all be livid if the Phillies got Yonder and he had the same quotes

AAU coach, as it helps increase your odds but there’s always the chance the dream school offers. I believe this just happened with Illinois and Whitney.

Bryce Harper Manny Machado Adley Rutschman Yonder Alonso Josh Beckett

Pretty sure it’s a conference call with Alonso

Sure they could if they want to make others perceive they’re getting a big offer from such team. Don’t think that’s happening here though.

Or visiting the Cubs on Tuesday :) kidding, I think

Sox have the payroll space to make them a “contender”, which makes them the perfect team to float out in rumors to try and help a player’s market. Not only that, but they are generally very vague in their responses regarding specific players and their interest in them.

Heyman technically works for MLB Network

And Buster basically implied yesterday that the reporters pumping up the Sox interest in a huge deal is because they work for MLB

And Bruce Levine is going all in on the Sox being cheap, it appears

Not out of the question, as this could all be coming from the same 1 or 2 guys.

Just searched dodgers Harper on twitter. This guy is a CEO of an entertainment company and I believe he’s associated with Steve Sax.

Possible more smoke for the Dodgers, as this guy has some connections it would appear: https://mobile.twitter.com/scottwarner18/status/1074339516788310016

I don’t disagree. You would hope they wouldn’t have wasted 30 million so far this offseason on what amounts to some pretty meager “upgrades”.

It was for the Granderson visit....jk

If it comes out they were never willing to to over 7 years or over 30 mil a year or no opt-outs, then shame on them for trolling the fan base. Hahn and KW would have done the exact opposite of what they’ve publicly said about earning the trust of the fans.

And don’t forget he said he was trying to sign him last offseason, which was also when they tried to get Manny and impress him with the environment.

Everett has won a WS at least

oh trust me, I've considered that but not sure they have roster room if they keep Delmonico and Leury.
