I’d support that. Guys like Avi have to just hate the way free agency is now. It’d be awful, especially with the way a lot of athletes spend their money. Has to be super stressful. 

What the heck, Ottavino!

100% agree, although make it 3/$49M so it costs a lesser pick.

Yah just spitballing ranges. Anything mid $54-57M range and down over 3 years and I’d be game.

Do you not understand how one piece of information coming to fruition can establish credibility for another piece of information from the same source? 

Some people don't believe the Machado info from 2 weeks ago. This is the same source, so if this move comes true, it may make them realize that my source has aconnection. Calm down and wait for BW to get back to me, or ignore this thread. 

It's a simple equation. 

 

Normally, I HATE when people claim they know something but won’t share it, but I gotta side with Joe on this one. Because of his previous scoop about Manny and his Chicago visit, it would help his credibility to have this scoop correct. And he can’t wait until after it’s announced because then people would just claim he is lying about already having the scoop and still wouldn’t believe the Manny info. 

Assuming the Sox only get 1 of the big 2, signing Machado, Pollock, and Ottavino is my ideal scenario for the rest of this offseason. Fills massive holes in 3B and CF and adds a stud at the back end of bullpen.

If it’s going to be announced tomorrow you better let it out the bag before a national reporter picks it up and then it makes you look like..........Dan Clark ?

?at people who still fall for this.

Guys....what if it’s the trade we’ve been dreaming about..... for Encarnacion ???

Need a starter too though.

People who roll their eyes generally don’t know the history of Soxtalk or the poster’s credibility.

Some defended Peavy but ragged on Chili.

?‍♂️

I missed the part where BW poses as an insider with sources and wanted attention to himself. He casually mentioned it in a thread and someone else created a thread for him to discuss.

Maybe a Pomeranz or Gio Gonzalez type. I'm just hoping guys like Rodon, Lopez, and Giolito all take steps forward next year because that would be huge. Nova will eat innings and do a good enough job at that. Maybe Covey or someone else will claim the #5 spot but bringing in a veteran of some kind is probably a good idea. 

For the heck of it, I’m going to guess Marwin Gonzalez

Seriously guy, don't throw stones.  You've been the king of misinformation and you do it with such contempt for everyone around here it's amazing you still come back.

The guy won't post nothing how can you believe him.

I feel like there's a very real chance he's going to have to take a minor league deal.

What about in cases when you are indeed the bully?

I think he will get an MLB deal. A part of me still expects him to get re-signed if we miss out on Harper. 

He literally said he will post his info later. Give him a chance.
