He’s the only one that has mentioned Laz, right? I mentioned laz in the first page or so of joc thread.

January 28, 20197 yr I'm buying it and still think that this burner Twitter account is the Reinsdorfs. As I said earlier; perhaps Machado's team was trying to maximize the leverage of Sox Fest, knowing that the front office would have loved to have been able to answer all of the fans' questions about Manny, in the affirmative. Now that Sox Fest is over and the Sox didn't give in to Lozano's demands, I think Manny signs soon. The Pederson trade has other contingencies, as we have discussed, on both sides. My only question is; Would such a tweet be in violation of the CBA? Edited January 28, 20197 yr by Lillian

There is zero chance that any Reinsdorf is doing this.

Lillian I’m usually with you but there is no way a Reinsdorf is going to waste his time with a silly burner account. They just don’t strike me as the burner type in the least bit.
January 28, 20197 yr It’s crazy that we are about to sign Machado for 30+M and Abreu will probably end up with a better offensive season, but less WAR.
January 28, 20197 yr I will buy it when the ink has dried. Until then it feels like another 50 pages of us hoping its real

January 28, 20197 yr And why would anyone involved in this negotiation "give clearance" for anything? So dumb.
January 28, 20197 yr If I wasn't so emotionally invested in this team, I wouldn't even care anymore. I am so beyond tired of thinking about this day after day after day. It's exhausting.

The burner type almost screams for attention and they never seem to want to be out there out there like that before.

Machado has had a better OPS+ than Abreu two out of the last three years, and did it while playing gold glove 3B (and some less than stellar SS).

January 28, 20197 yr Setting aside all of the other factors, which would be part of any consideration for one of J. R's sons to tweet that, can you see how they might desire to anonymously and secretly provide some good news to the fan base? Edited January 28, 20197 yr by Lillian

If they wanted this news out there, they'd give it to whoever their favored beat writer/reporter is. There's no reason to be completely anonymous about it.

Nah considering probably less than five percent of the fan base even see that random tweet other than us obsessed peculiar folks.
