Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto is over. (Mets)

Well that changes everything. Maybe you should start reading my posts.
Honestly, if it was something like a Boras burner account we don't know about, I wouldn't be surprised. Who knows these days.
Why? We had a large family Thanksgiving gathering yesterday, and it was all anyone could talk about. People are taking the bait on it and expect Soto is coming here. It looks like a troll to me, but who knows.
The more I think about it, the more I think the Sox have to do this. This completely turns around the narrative, gets people excited, and makes them not irrelevant. This is the most interested I've been since they're 2021 run.
If you believe ownership is going to be influenced to spend $600M to $700M because some internet troll got segments of the fanbase charged up, then I don't know what to tell you
I was at my sister’s house for leftover lunch today. She has a golden retriever, which everyone knows is a very smart (or really dumb) breed of dog. I asked the dog (“Rookie”, so she knows sports) about the signing and she barked quietly at me.
Quietly. Aka “Sotto voce“. Sotto. Which is really close to Soto.
I think we have our answer.

Edited. don’t think anyone wants any more of this back and forth.

The Mick account had about 5,200 followers yesterday. I don't think that is the avenue Boras would take to put pressure on anybody.
He also said that they called an emergency zoom meeting because of his tweet. A bunch of multi-millionaires called an emergency zoom meeting on Thanksgiving because an account with 5k followers made up the same thing people have been making up for weeks, for all teams involved. C'mon.

I believe the ”Scottish trade” refers to the Mookie deal. It’s called the Scottish trade because, like saying “MacBeth” in the theater is bad luck most people in that world refer to it as the “Scottish play”, so is it here to some folks as the trade that should not be said.
I don’t agree with it and think that the FO and ownership should be reminded of it every day as a north star for how they should not run their franchise. But YMMV.

I mean I hated hated hated the trade. You know what I hate more? The way that some people here won't let Mookie go. I loooooved Mookie. He was my favorite player since Yaz. If I can let him go the rest of you can.
You'll never survive here admitting you were wrong. What're you thinking? Double the fuck down.
Never! I think it would be easier for me to let go if it hadn’t preceded (with one blip season) this slide into irrelevance and despair that has gone on far too long for a franchise of the Red Sox’s caliber. It’s embarrassing, it’s deflating, it’s infuriating, and Mookie is an enduring and painful reminder of this disgusting era we’re still mired in.
NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT:
TCM is running their movies tonight, starting at 8 pm EST: Holy Grail , then Live at the Hollywood Bowl, then Life of Brian.
Rafael Devers has a pending conversation with Juan Soto. That conversation could take place in the next few hours...

I’m hopeful that Father Soto can exorcise the Demon Scottish Trade. At least until the 8/260 deal to Fried goes belly up and we’re treated to the next Dodger Deal.
Mike Rodriguez says yesterday they spoke for an hour. Marino Pepen says today they will speak soon. Are these two separate conversations or the same thing being reported twice? Is Juan asking Raffy where to live in Boston or are they just comparing notes for their fantasy football league?
Or maybe it's just "Raffy come on, that Average Mick sockpuppet was funny the first time but it's getting old..."

Pepen notoriously makes shit up. He isn’t nearly as reliable as Gomez and Rodriguez.
The guy who posted this?

Congrats to Big Papi David Ortiz on becoming the first Dominican to own a Team as he becomes part owner of the Boston Red Sox.
Thanks for this. All the years of a certain game being referred to as the Scottish Game around here, and I never knew why.
I'm looking forward to finding out that all these conversations between Devers and Soto aren't about Soto signing with the Red Sox but about some charity event the two of them are trying to set up in Santo Domingo.
