Jose Abreu

I take it you think he's being used as a pawn to lower expectations?

A lot of the info in this seems wrong but lots of Sox tidbits regardless https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2018/12/12/bryce-harper-scott-boras-las-vegas-baseball-winter-meetings/2294674002/

And in case anyone was holding out hope for something big getting done tonight at the meetings:

Whatever the antonym of downplay is, that's what Hahn is doing about the rumors. He seems to really believe we're getting a whale and he's barely trying to hide it

No Jermaine Dye jokes yet?

I think he meticulously crafted his comments so that fans of every team that's in the running believe that they're the frontrunner.

He said he'd do that if it was revealed the Sox did not make a serious offer, he didn't say that he'd do that if Harper just signs elsewhere

Just get the word "mobile" out of your links and they'll embed automatically

No but this does

Probably the case, but he generally doesn't include the "..." when he is simply re-sharing

I trust Ken Rosenthal over this guy and a cat, personally, but to each their own

I don't buy the specifics of it. Just a lot of smoke about the Sox being quietly confident from various posters

Meh. He has a pretty high walk rate and will probably get overpaid

I wish they did. Mostly for comedy's sake

I'm glad they had the stones to make a scene

Yeah, that game is a loss either way. My concern is going forward is he seems to think it's ok to bench an entire group of 5 players based on 2 minutes of play, and those 2 minutes weren't even noticeably bad
