@SamBlum3 The narrative that free agents don’t want to sign with us is just a tired take at this point. Every player has different expectations that often go unnoticed by us on the outside
@SamBlum3 1 Kikuchi wanted to sign with us
2 Kenley Jansen wanted to last year and even expressed a desire to come back
3 Kevin Pillar talked with your friends at FT about staying past the deadline in hopes of coming back in ‘25
@RedSoxEnjoyer24@gingersnaphyde I stood
Many others did too
Sure, there were a lot of boos from Halo faithful that home opener but a lot of us stood too 🫡
@BeyondTheHalo I honestly wouldn’t read too much into Ken’s words… We know Perry is very coy when talking about free agents… Always talks about “fit” and if it’s the right fit, they will add a player
I doubt Perry has given Ken info that he’s been lobbying Arte to get Snell or JD
@BeyondTheHalo I think Arte just has a fixed financial figure and he is waiting for Snell / Boras to move towards that figure.
Nightengale mentioned (seems like a lifetime ago now) that Arte was waiting for things to dip below the $200mil mark
