Nas is right. "The Sox made offers" is not news, or insider info, and it's a waste of time to post and read.

Some friends and I "got paid" for a breakfast blog. That doesn't make us culinary professionals, insiders, or anything close to that.

You were paid for the popularity of your blog to the outside world. Keyser is paid for his opinions within the industry.

Then my previous sentiment of "share what you know or simply keep quiet" still applies.

Is a scout an insider?

Is Keyser a Sox scout?

Don't think he's a Sox scout. If he is then I understand him not talking numbers.

Very sad.

I trust Keyser more than them so I guess he is an insider.

CFMB's Baseball Insider Keyser Soze reporting that the offer to Harper is "significant".

When you are in that industry you are going to get insider info from others. His Boston connection probably provided a lot to him.

If you were an employee at Yolk then you would qualify as a breakfast "insider"of sorts. Don't shit on the one guy that may actually know what he is talking about.

Writing a blog merely renders you to be a guy with an opinion. If you actually have guys with contacts and work with guys in the industry then its a little different.

I think it's more of a desire for our insider to share something we don't already know. Whether that is the number of years or the amount of money. Unless of course he works for the Sox.

Is anyone following @waiijo on Twitter? I don't know if this is someone playing a joke but seems to have some kind of inside White Sox info. Maybe I'm gullible and I can't think straight because of the fact I keep thinking of the White Sox signing a premier player.

If the Sox are serious and that's what he is implying then I consider that interesting and worth posting - regardless of the actual numbers.

I had "insider" info that Jabari was coming to the Bulls as far back as the playoffs and I didn't want to report it and you see how that turned out.

No way am I letting this sort of insider stuff go by the boards again. If the Sox pull this off it would be huge. They have to get in the ballgame (pun intended). Tired of the Cubs getting all the press in this town.
