This is funny because I was told that Wheeler would sign a 4 year deal at 60 million. There was no way he'd cross 100 million or maybe even approach 115/120.

We are the highest bidder this time with a great offer.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Dodgers asked for Colome.

Yep and it's not just for getting that year back. We don't want a Strasburg situation where you can't use him in the stretch run or playoffs, if you make it.

Hamels said he wants a multiyear deal from a contender. I think he gets two years from us, as he can be sent to the pen next year.

This tells me two things. 1. Kopech will be called up in June. 2. He will replace Lopez when he comes back. Unless Hamels is awful, in which case he becomes a lefty ace hopefully in the pen. For anyone who thinks it's crazy to call up Kopech in June remember this we get that year back we lost, and he will pitch through the remainder of the season and for a playoff run. They will tell him they want him to ease back into things at AAA limiting innings pitched and increasing rest.

My body is ready.

But Bob is Kenny and Hahn's mouthpiece. He wouldn't have mentioned Joc without their approval. Especially after the deal was said to fall through because of a leak.

I wonder who the two people with direct knowledge of the talks are that Bob spoke to. I wonder who those two people could be, who want to show Sox fans they are trying secretly. I wonder if the Joc deal falls through again if these two people will blame the leak again.

Joff is legit, Rosenthai, I question.

Now it is gonna be Wheels of fortune and Jocamania for the next week. Why do I bother, why do I bother?

Why?

Passan I believe. League sources are saying it's going to happen.

Oh it's an IRS scammer.

Lol, I wonder if his two followers, his brother and best friend told him that.

Ryu and Wheeler have questionable pasts. If Ryu stays healthy, he can provide the Twins a 3.30 ERA.

Not necessarily. Maybe they don't think Wheeler is worth 100m.

I didn't hear that. Thanks for the info. As expected, they are pivoting. This may mean we are close to a Wheeler signing. I do not want Ryu playing for the Twins.

The Sox had to have known their offer was gonna be shopped. They are in good shape and need to remain confident in this FA. I am concerned about RF because I don't think they like any of the options. So we probably will make a small trade.

Far too many people linked the Sox to being front runners and making a big offer. Nothing is official of course but we can read between the lines. It came out today that Wheeler is our top priority, and he also has a 100m offer.

I think we should still be confident. It is clear Wheeler is waiting to see if the Twins, Reds, and Rangers will make an offer over the 100 million offered by the Sox. So nothing has probably changed on their end.

Yeah okay. They knew the offer was 300 million, but they didn't think that offer was better than their offer. That's why they said they werent comfortable going that high in the deal, as they needed to pay our core.

No way that he doesn't. Machado circled back to us and we didnt want to go there. That is why Moncada was moved to third two days before the Padres announced the deal.

Probably 115 million. He may be holding out to see if he can get the Sox to increase their offer to 115 by drumming up all this interest. The Sox may not be budging as the Twins and maybe others haven't submitted offers over 100m, and probably don't plan to. I think Minnesota will pivot to Bum on a more reasonable deal.

Don't know about you, but I'm tired of people forgetting we exist. I love being in the light.
