I’m definitely not saying the rumors are true, but why wouldn’t the Sox FO deny this until it’s a done deal? It makes zero sense for them to admit they are finalizing negotiations with a FA, and they certainly don’t owe these reporters anything.

I understand we would be wasting Rendon’s defensive ability, and his offense would be slightly less valuable at 1B, but is giving him 300+ at bats at 1B completely out of the picture? This would get his bat in the lineup without having to mess with Moncada’s growing comfortability and confidence, while keeping the better defender at 3B. It would also allow Madrigal to be a long term affordable piece. Moncada-Anderson-Madrigal-Rendon could be one of the better infield defenses in baseball.

Had to sign in to take credit for that one, ha.
