I wonder who the two people with direct knowledge of the talks are that Bob spoke to. I wonder who those two people could be, who want to show Sox fans they are trying secretly. I wonder if the Joc deal falls through again if these two people will blame the leak again. 

Also, If Wheeler signs here, the Machado money will almost literally all have been spent in one off-season.

Nope, that's how people do these fake ones, change one letter and make it look reasonable.

No idea why people do this.

I have a hard time including Abreu in those calculations.

It's the most ridiculous thing in sports. 

In hockey they have to watch out for Boob McKenzie. Tits McGee is on vacation.

Fair enough, I just thought it was kinda funny.

I see no advantage of the Sox leaking this so I'm just not sure who it is; even though I want to assume Kenny.

Probably an agent plant

If we don't see them fire back with Bruce, I could see it being a back off this guy is ours message but who's to say

But Bob is Kenny and Hahn's mouthpiece. He wouldn't have mentioned Joc without their approval. Especially after the deal was said to fall through because of a leak.

Theres no way Hahn talks through the media this year. Kenny, sure but not Rick.

Trade talks come from a lot of different angles.

And this = Wheeler confirmation????

I'm guessing the hope for the FO is Wheeler and Hamels.

Buster worded this oddly because it almost sounds like he's assuming wheeler goes there.

A lot of national writers talking about this today leads me to believe that the pre-winter meeting deadline has some serious reality tied to it.

I struggle to understand the necessity to add a 2nd veteran pitcher on a multi-year deal. Just seems like a poor use of resources, but I guess you can never have too much pitching.

That makes no sense, unless they were coordinating everything (one completely silent, the other too talkative)...why would you sit there and allow important negotiations to be leaked unless it served the best interests of the deal (pressuring the team holding a trade asset or player/agent) to make it actually come to fruition?

When has Hahn ever turned down an opportunity to speak...but actually said something substantive?  And wouldn’t the entire national sports media figure this “strategy” out and start going to Stone, Merkin, Benetti, Haber and other plugged-in sources?

So, ultimately...we’re supposed to buy that Kenny’s just running around “going rogue,” after what transpired last year?  That just strains credulity.
