I wonder why the players association wasn’t upset when it was leaked Harper turned down $300 million from the Nats.

And if those are the actual gloves, the white can easily be changed.

Might want to read up on these guys. A broken in glove they love is something they don't want to swap out just because.

Which is why I wrote they don't wear black. Too much white on a couple of these. Probably the generic model.

I find it hard to believe Rawlings would be the entity breaking this signing. The lack of silver and some red make it look more Yankee like to me even though the don't wear black. I am surprised he would use all new gloves every year. Some guys still use what they were using in high school

It's her son. He's a jr. She is married to a guy by the same name.

Exactly. They spent $13 million and a prospect on these two, and despite how some try to spin it, that’s a high price to pay for guys that aren’t going to help you win if they don’t bring Manny with them. Jay hasn’t had a 2.0 fWAR since 2012. Alonso has put up higher than a 1.2 fWAR once in his career.

Wasn't his number 17 when he was showing his and Jay's jerseys with the supposed empty locker next to Jay?

Your nickname is Boner?

I would imagine if Guyer doesn't make the roster, he bails.

I guess people don't understand your refund was an interest free loan you gave to the government.

The text is 3 hours old. He already said his 90% accurate guy missed.

It's been debunked.

Everyone is just trying to get whatever they can. Nothing wrong with that. Someone is going to get that money.

The pressure should be on the White Sox. Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, all out. If they were ever going to sign one, now is the time. Fail now, chances are they fail down the road when the big boys get more involved.

Might be time to leak the White Sox being deeply engaged with Harper. It may make Lozano flinch a little. If whatever the Sox offer to MM goes away and Harper a White Sox, the Phillies probably won't bid against themselves as all these mystery teams seem about as likely as the Cubs moving to Rosemont. I wonder if Lindors injury moves the needle. If either of the big 2 get hurt before they sign, even though I am sure they are somewhat insured, it could cost them many millions.

Ellsbury doesn't come off, and Gardner came off this year, and Harper isn't there. The Cubs have a ton of additional money being added without adding anyone.

And why would $300 million be available next year?

So the guy on espn.com who picks All Star teams is guessing Harper to SD, Manny to Philly. That would be a kick in the nuts. A direct hit.

My source is telling me Manny will make a decision within the next 2 weeks. If this doesn't happen, as you know, things are fluid, so please don't criticize or I may be forced to never share any more information my inaccurate source feeds me. I would share more, but don't want to endanger any deals.

So there’s an empty locker. The Sox are after Manny. If he signs maybe that is his locker. But I don’t get where anyone can come up with Alonso hinting at anything posting this picture.

Clearly a sign that Machado is signing as soon as they can find enough security to cover a press conference.

If Driveline works for Fulmer, it will take an arm falling off for anyone to give up on a pitching prospect again. Fulmer's stuff was fine. He couldn't throw a strike to save his life. I don't know how more spin and higher velo corrects that unless maybe it calms down his delivery a bit.

I don't know if paying Otto Porter $27 million a year is the answer, but at least GarPax recognized they aren't going to be attracting any good free agents when better teams from better climates, with coaches that don't make them do push ups, will be offering the same cash. If ownership isn't going to make a change, a move like this was about all they could do.
