You can't link to Instagram stories, but Machado, Alonso, and Jay were all working out together today per Alonso's wife's Instagram

Any ideas as to how reporters in New York are the ones finding out about our opt-out discussions with Machado?

What I'm struggling with is understanding why the Sox wouldn't trigger that option.

Please change the thread title from "Sox have interest in non-$300M free agents as well" to "Sox have interest in non-$175M free agents as well". Thanks.

I don't think it makes a difference. They were out before and they're out now

If you want to take the conspiracy even further, maybe he’s pissed because he knows the Sox are gonna announce this tomorrow (day 1 of cubs convention) to take attention away from them

Charles T. Cat!

If SoxFest comes around and these whales are either still unsigned or one has signed elsewhere, I would be surprised if Hahn even honored the commitment to show up. And I wouldn't blame him

It would also be great if they could somehow get rid of the early 20th century Klansmen who are in there

Some groundbreaking information.

FWIW he has tweeted out an emoji or two for every single division in baseball. Just part of the MLB The Show ad campaign.

This is completely unprecedented territory and everything I thought I knew about free agency and baseball negotiations is being questioned today.

Gomez doubling down on it (twice today, actually) is just as meaningful to me

Hector Gomez saying that when the signing is official, we'll know which source was correct. He seems pretty confident to me.

The offer is 6/68 obviously

Basically he tweets out a ton of rumors/signings based on popular predictions, about 33% of them end up being correct just because they're educated guesses, and people who don't know much about him remember the ones that he was right about and then assume he has legit sources because of it.

People may laugh at this but it actually would explain a lot about how the Sox have approached this offseason and it's financially viable. That said, I doubt it happens, but if this is true regardless, kudos to the front office for the foresight (and hopefully at least partial execution).

In case you didn't know, that's Bucket who replied to you so I would probably just take what he says as a fact.

To their credit, they have since moved on to being enraged that we traded Kevan Smith

How DARE the front office not leak the terms of a confidential negotiation to the public so that message board users can be content?!??!
