Sorry I meant if it weren't for the Tatis trade we would not be in the position of talking to two generational talents with a stacked minor league system. Not that we would be better off with Tatis. I've always looked at that trade as the last chance to contend with that core.

I don't think we would be in this position if it weren't for the Tatis trade.

Move onto Harper twitter updates. ?

lol

Right thats why I'm confused as to why people are calling it a conference.

Is the Jay thing going to be a press call or an actual press conference?

God I wish that would happen, I would die laughing.

They're a season ticket holder, some of them definitely talk to front office people. That's why I posted it.

Yeah I forgot that was happening, nevermind.

Um....

WHAT?

Roeper is indeed teasing that he knows something.

Interesting thing to think about regarding opt outs. If owners are reluctant to commit to and pay premium players now with almost no competition in the market, it would probably make more sense to grab the largest deal now and ride it out. Granted the new CBA or strike will probably change the landscape a bit but still.

No not news but he's been beating the drum for the Yankees for weeks now on Machado. Feel like this is the first national guy to start saying something remotely positive.

Ok, things are picking up.

Heyman is now saying on MLBN that the Sox have a great shot at getting Manny. So the tune is changing a bit.

FWIW Merkin on MLB Network said he expects the Sox to get one of these guys.

Jay about to have press call so we'll see if Hahn is made available.

Bruce also hinting that offer is around $200 mil.

SATURDAY?!

Yes or that ahaha.

Roeper is a big Sox fan (wrote a book on '05) and a member of the media. It would stand to reason he might have some connections to the team.

Told everyone to chill and that the Sox are very likely to get it done.

Manny signs and is then suspended 50 games for PEDs
