I feel a lot better about liking this signing now.

Random name count of 6.

Sox fans all over twitter like

Thanks for the update, we will remove the details from the headline.

And here we go...

Self-promotion.

The old set up allowed you have a sign in name AND a display name. The new one does not, so anyone who had two different things was reverted back to their display name as it is the only identifier allowed under the new software.

That is fair, and very good to know.

I am not even going to say they are going to get this done, but I can respect the effort they are making.

Talk about failing upwards.

Way to go out on a limb Phil. What's next? A hard hitting article about Moncada needing to make more contact with two strikes?

It only what Manny Machado thinks is too substantial of a discount.

Barstool is now going paywall. The comments are predictably awesome.

Now this is a post that deserves a +1. Please spare us the stream of consciousness about what every national sports talking head thinks about the Sox and direct those feelings at them instead. Please and thank you.

Eh, it isn't that serious. If it fails, you move on.

It will be interesting to see if the Sox can slip Clarkin through this time.

Wasn't his the foot surgery?

I spent all winter agreeing with this logic, but there is one asterisk. If it gets you Manny, you do it. If you THINK it could get you Manny, you still do it. I couldn't care less about John Jay's production in 2019, unless he produces us Manny Machado.

If you got Leury's bat and arm with Adam's glove and health, you would have an actual starting CF.

I mean you can. Even if Manny doesn't sign, John Jay is a decent upgrade over Adam Engel. You might not like it, but the numbers are there. If we aren't chasing Manny, I would rather see Engel get the ABs out there to see if he can learn to hit, and basically punt on 2019. But the Manny factor is something.

I said this in a different thread last night, but if this were the Phillies or Yankees doing this, we'd have multiple posts wondering why Rick Hahn is asleep at the wheel and how little money and obligation that $13 million and one year of commitment is for each of these players.
