I'm prepared to be massively disappointed.

 

[DKH]

I’m going he picks Red Sox

If they're offering 650 just go to 700. If they do that and he still signs somewhere else what more could they really have done?

Yeah, if they're in the 650+ range and dont get him I cant fault FSG at all this time. They would've done all they can, it wouldn't be a case of being cheap.

Thanks for all of the updates....for someone who does not do Twitter it helps

If Sox lose out on Soto there will be no Teoscar, sounds like he will be going back to LA.

The Sox should have signed him last year when they had the chance.

Agree, they let a consistent 30 HR / 100 RBI ( playing at Fenway) go.
He will probably get an increase this year....24.5M a year?

 

[McGarnagle]

In all seriousness, one of my concerns about signing Soto is his decline as a defensive outfielder, and the thought that 4-5 years down the line, you'd be paying two guys who should be full-time DHs a combined $80 million/year with no choice but to play at least one of them in the field every day.

Manny was worse and they hid him in LF at Fenway for like 8 years

Soto could play Left yup. He has an accurate arm to.Its going back on balls he struggles but the wall there eliminates alot of that.

You'd have to pay me well over market value to play in Sacramento too

please let mick be right so he can dunk on these self righteous dorks

 

[DKH]

Even if it doesn’t happen this is spectacular trolling

I’m impressed

This kid a huge Bruins fan I will be having a drink with him at some point and getting the backstory

Pete Abraham going to need to update his meds if this correct

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

 

[LouJersey]

I guess I should buy my Mets Soto jersey now.

I don't know, the crash and burn when he's wrong might be just as entertaining.

Who am I kidding, he'll just delete everything and be gone like Keyser Soze.

All of this is making me long for that offseason where everyone thought some 12 year old had sources.

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Sure, and I can reveal the name of that second superstar: It's Mr. Full Throttle

 

[Seidenbergy]

Like the ny giants with saquon?

It’s Casas & Abreu + 2 lower level prospects (one a pitcher) for Vlady jr

Same guy who told me about the Fergus-Delargo deal 3 days before tipping me off

 

[McGarnagle]

If Soto comes here, Mick is going to dunk on everyone and take Jeff Passan's spot

If he's wrong and Soto goes to NY, Mick will probably be named WH Press Secretary

It's win win

Yep that's absolutely the player

I can't tell if this is real or a bit anymore. A quadruple down of the info you reported is certainly something.
