Sox and a Prayer

Hahn said at Soxfest that it was going to be a couple of weeks before there is a decision by Manny. So I guess its going to be a couple of weeks. Maybe longer. We just sit back and wait.

I know, I saw that too. Head scratcher?! Unless they plan on trading some relief away.

I hear you man. I'm outside today at the steel mill. Wearing the layers!

Worst yet, does anyone think Lozano will urge Manny to sit out the season until the offers get better?

The reason I mentioned that was because you really don't see a lot of contracts over 7 or 8 years. There's really only been about a dozen or so? Idk maybe more? Which is something outside the box he might consider. With that in mind, all of the top talent coming up in the system certainly helps those considerations. But you're right. Money is the main consideration.

Yeah that's fair.

And after 4 years there might be coaching changes. Maybe a new GM? He might have questions about ownership. What happens after JR passes on? New direction for the organization? Alot to consider.

Love this! Well said.

Or at least the bulls/sox academy.

Agreed

Cleveland may be talking to LA about Kluber though. Could be alot more than Joc. Or a completely different package all together.

Fair point, but only 2 years of control? The Padres have been trying for assurances of an extension.

Yes, and probably overdue for a vacation by the looks of it?! Lol

Well of course Hahn thinks the fans will be "fine" if we dont get Manny. Because we're signing Harper!

Those 3 or 4 moves he was talking about over the weekend I really feel is contingent on Manny. Free agency and trades. No Manny - no moves.

Yeah have to agree. You could even make an argument that Shields was/is better than Nova.

Idk, I kinda like our park. It's definitely better than when they first opened it.

What if by a small chance this isn't fake. And you're right the culprit is someone from this message board. But it's one of the few with a source. And did the burner account to protect the source and They're identity. It almost seemed very familiar. The way they wrote it. The eyeballs again. They may even be lurking to see if we can figure it out.

It does seem like the game is starting to pass him by.

Me too. Maybe Sanchez

Did he really say that? That's encouraging. I heard about the 3 or 4 moves just missed the progress part.

Yeah I agree. Right now I think it's all about the opt outs. Hahn even said this weekend that its more than the financial considerations.

And then those 2 facing Nova. Not pretty.

Wouldn't that be a kick in the junk! And wait till the interleague games against them. What fun.

Yeah but They're going to have to shell out alot of money to their young core of pitchers soon.
