January 25, 20197 yr I'm not sure what Dave knows, but my source just told me that he was told "Nothing tonight". That quote came directly from Hahn, and then to my source. Not sure if he means nothing Manny related, or nothing in general. Maybe whatever Dave knows needs to be finalized and won't be announced until tomorrow? Maybe that also ties in to the suprises we are supposed to get during SoxFest? Hopefully a lot of great things happen this weekend.

With all this hints from you and WSD, Ricky's and Yonder's comments today, I feel more and more enthusiastic than ever Edited January 25, 20197 yr by Focurjay correction

January 25, 20197 yr 20 minutes ago, shipps said: It just seems like Renteria and Yonder are very comfortable with publicly talking about Manny right now. That’s weird for a guy that you may not sign. Totally normal for a guy you are sure is going to be on your team however. I agree. They're talking about him like he's already on the team. That seems like a good thing.
January 25, 20197 yr To be fair, reporters probably have access to Renteria to ask him about the meeting in December. So he is answering them.

January 25, 20197 yr 19 minutes ago, fathom said: How much are the Sox even allowed to discuss about prospective free agents from a CBA standpoint? I'm not an expert, but I don't think the restrictions apply to free agents.

They do apply to free agents, but I think they only apply to front offices. It's surprising to hear Ricky talking about it, but as for players, they are walkway talking publicly about wanting to play with a given player. They can say whatever they want.

Hearing Ricky discuss what Machado said about playing a certain position seems like something that would be frowned upon

January 25, 20197 yr Very true. Getting over 500k views before tomorrow afternoon will be a tough feat.

I'm pretty sure the only things they can't talk about are whether or not they offered someone a contract and what those contract figures are. That is why all the contract numbers have to be leaks and not Hahn just saying what we are offering on a conference call. The other parts of it like talking about players isn't the same as when they are under contract. When they have a contract with a team it could be considered tampering to talk about them, but when they are a free agent there is no team to tamper with, only market rates.

At the GM meetings MLBN was interviewing the Cardinals' GM. When they asked him about free agents he was looking at, he responded "as you know, I can't comment on specific players."
January 25, 20197 yr If nothing else, it seems like Manny would play 3B based on Garfien's tweets which is great. Keeps Anderson and Moncada where they should be.

He is literally the perfect fit for this team. The Sox haven't had a good third baseman in so long. And like I said, Manny playing third keeps Anderson at shortstop where he's elite defensively and Moncada at second where his skillset is best utilized. It would be amazing. I'm not sure what it would mean for Madrigal but they can worry about that later.
