January 25, 20197 yr Sox hire a Manny Machado impersonator and send him to New York to throw us off the trail. Well played Brooks Boyer. Well played. Meanwhile, the REAL Manny has been staying with Yonder for weeks. They have the windows painted black and Yonder always brings home food for him. Miami Baseball Brotherhood

Because RH asked that they announce it tomorrow to make a PR splash while the media is focused on Soxfest? Since they share a spring training facility and have a good working relationship, Dodger GM said sure Rick.

January 25, 20197 yr If J. Michael Robertson turns out to be total BS (99% certainty) I’ll still give the guy props. He says it’s a burner account, has people throwing out conspiracies that it’s a Reinsdorf, and his three follows are the Sox, Bulls, and Stadium. Most well thought out troll job I’ve ever seen, but I gotta admit, it would be epic if it turned out to actually be Jerry. Part of me actually hopes it is.

Sportscenter would lead with Machado signing with Chicago, spend 3 minutes talking about how he fits in the great Cubs lineup. Then they'd realize he signed with the Sox, so they'd drop it and spend the next 40 minutes breaking down the Pro Bowl.

Crazy to think we had the "endgame" title like 15,000 posts ago. 4 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: I'd take that money in a heartbeat.

Even the Sox disastrous network in the '80s was a brilliant idea about 20 years before its time.

It's pretty obvious to me that this is one of Rick Hahn's sons. Close enough to the situation to be aware of some of the details, smart enough to make sure that the initials and follows are semi-subtle as to not be obvious to everyone right away.
January 25, 20197 yr If the Sox were to announce Manny at Soxfest, it would be the culmination of crazy events. They would have to sneak him into Chicago and into the hotel, past a bunch of Sox fans. Then they'd have a doctor meet them at the hotel to do the physical there. Next, have Manny sign the contract immediately and fax it to the main office. Then introduce him minutes later before work breaks on twitter. I mean, it's theoretically possible, but it would take an insane amount of planning to get it done and keep it a secret until that moment.

I highly doubt Hahn is sharing trade details with his sons. Way too much risk in today's day and age.

Seems like an appropriate amount of planning for the most important free agent acquisition in franchise history.
