Huh? Nope. Hate the Eagles. Have been a Cowboys fan since birth, have been a Rams fan since 2000.

It's funny how much it upsets some of you people that I like 2 teams. Lmao

Yeah, Heyman likely meant IG because Manny doesn't have Twitter, and like you said, he's been following Delmonico and TA for a while now.

RAMS GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!! YESSS!!!!!! I didn't expect to be so geeked out of my mind for that game. I can't even imagine how my body will react to the White Sox making the World Series again after how I felt during the end of that Rams game. Ugh, please bring on the Chiefs.

I'm guessing it's someone who has really taken to a data-driven approach to pitching and has worked with some cutting edge programs. There is a story about a 38 year old who hasnt pitched in 10 years getting his arm up to 98 MPH through all the new approaches to science based pitching.

A video from the first few minutes of that has been posted and discussed, yea.

I only think Pederson comes "for scraps" if it means the Sox are taking on Hill and all of his money. There is no reason Pederson should be considered worthless. He might be expendable, but he isn't only worth scraps.

Peggy follows Jason on twitter. Who is her kid?

Pederson makes $5M in 2019, and then 2020 is his final year of arbitration. Hill has 1 year left at $18M. Hopefully Hill is a negative asset and the Sox take him to either reduce the return for Pederson. Makes the "Fulmer/Bummer" scenario more plausible. Dodgers already saved money with the Kemp/Puig deal with the Reds. This deal would save them $21M in AAV against the luxury tax. Pollock would slot in under that amount.

The "no kids, ever" thing probably lowers your chances significantly. Not saying to omit that, it's certainly something anyone should want to know, but don't be too discouraged online because that's already drastically reducing your prospective pool anyway.

People still care about Manny Machado??? Pssshh, we've moved on to Joc Pederson rumors now, peasants.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this rumors comes out the same night that the stuff about Pollock in talks with the Dodgers comes out. I think he's their replacement for Joc, hopefully.

Something I just happen to think about.... Would be slick as fuck for them to dump any of those guys while they still have value. And only way MLB could tell them they can't trade them is if they basically know they got them pinned. Hmm.

I believe Kinander has brought those names up in his replies to people. And that's why they've been posted here.

Exactly what I've said too. Get Manny, then make short term moves if you want to. Unless the idea is that they would help get Manny to Chicago.

I've just heard from an insider that the Joc rumor is legit. Not my source, but someone who can be trusted. If Fulmer and Bummer are the price, you slam dunk that shit now. Bryce Bush would be a tough one to swallow, but I would completely understand why the Dodgers the trade more from the Dodgers side if he was included.

Or a slow-pitch soft a team.

LOLWUT. I refuse to believe Pederson is thought of so little in LA. Even if Pollock makes him expendable, it doesn't make him useless.

Rob Young seems to think it's legit. Not sure if that's because he's heard the same, or he knows the kid's reputation, or just because he feels it makes a lot of sense (especially given the Pollock to Dodgers rumors)

After searching through his Twitter, this guy has described himself as a "die hard Cubs fan" multiple times. A MOLE! GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

Lol I was thinking the same thing. Usually smart people who like data and science don't have to rely on religion for answers. But on the topic at hand, love that he considers himself a data nerd. He has a podcast, so now I am kind of interested to hear some of his newer episodes and see if he discusses the Sox at all.

That sounds like a good thing.

A different color username perhaps?

At what AAV will people NOT riot if Machado signs with someone else? Would 8 years/$304M ($38M AAV) be enough to where people draw the line on thinking it's too much? 10 yrs/$360M?? Just curious what type of winning offer from some other team wouldn't cause everyone to riot. Or do we sign Manny at all costs?

Nope, sorry, my source doesn't have any young kids, so no birthday party scoops in my future. ☹️
