I just finished a call, and sources from #Boston informed me that the player spoke for over an hour with Rafael Devers about the team. There is a 12-year offer for around $50M per season, and #JuanSoto is interested in the idea of going to the Red Sox. Currently, the Red Sox are a strong contender for outfielder. #JuanSoto #RafaelDevers

i’m hearing juan soto is nearing a 10+ year deal with the Boston Red Sox per sources

[Justin @JustinMLB]

Hearing whispers the Yankees are trading for Patrick Corbin

[Seth Cummings @SCummingsDC]

i can confirm that Jacob Berry DID NOT retire as certain accounts on here have said. these fake reports are getting out of hand trying to get the news out first.

@FireStricklin Love my fans❤️

[Seth Cummings @SCummingsDC]

Again, the Yankees were indeed very close to acquiring Cease and the White Sox were on the verge of accepting their package. However, as AJ Preller usually does, he jumped in at the very last minute with an absurd package that the White Sox couldn’t say no to.

[Jon Morosi @jonmorosi]

Can confirm the Yankees made a final trade proposal for Dylan Cease in the last 24 to 48 hours.

Clearly, the Yankees are still working to add an impact starting pitcher.

@austin_k_34 It might be able to be avoided but they’re far from out of the woods on it

[Seth Cummings @SCummingsDC]

i have fired my source

[Seth Cummings @SCummingsDC]

Source: Dylan Cease is incredibly close to being traded to the #Yankees. The prognosis on Gerrit Cole’s elbow suggested he more than likely will need to undergo TJ, and they know they can’t waste this year with Juan Soto’s free agency looming. Thus a package came together quick.

[Seth Cummings @SCummingsDC]

The Yankees and White Sox were about to give the green light on both sides, however the Texas #Rangers jumped into the mix and Chicago is now considering it a duel for Cease’s services

@alfrdyo9 I can assure you the Nats haven’t had a single conversation with the White Sox about Cease

[Seth Cummings @SCummingsDC]

lmao

[Thomas Gruver @orthaheel1]

@SCummingsDC What about the Nats?
