Dick Allen Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:13 PM) Can someone provide a link to his instagram account? Do the Cardinals have a history of bringing in Cuban ballplayers like the Sox do? His account suddenly went private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowand's rowdies Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 His account went private but it does not mean you can't see his profile photo. It seems like it is a last ditch ploy to drive up the Cardinals offer but I honestly take it as at worst a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This is totally an accident, he was just wearing the hat cuz the Sox gave it to him for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it is a last ditch ploy to drive up the Cardinals offer but I honestly take it as at worst a good sign. I don't think an agent would let him go that far as a ploy. But he is a 19 year old kid, he probably has no idea how many people keep refreshing their internet to see if his decision is official So he could be playing. He might not sign today or tomorrow or for a couple of weeks and have pictures of himself in several hats. Â But, I feel better about having him in a White Sox hat now than another team's.

TheChrisSamsa Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I keep reminding myself that 19 year olds are immature. Therefore the instagram photo change could absolutely be a negotiating ploy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) I hope we get answers today, but I am sure wherever he signs, he is going to have to take a physical first, and that can cause a delay especially here since it has been raining all day.

reiks12 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 You guys expect a 19 year old to be a master at negotiating for millions of dollars in such a creative way?  I highly doubt his agent told him to post a pic of him in a white sox hat to up the offer, come on  Either he made his decision in signing with the sox or ot was just an innocent coincidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footlongcomiskeydog Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Are we 100% sure that the instagram photo of him in the Sox hat is legit? It is an absolutely great sign if on the level and hopefully confirms the Passan report that he has already decided on a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
