I feel ok clarifying here that we'd heard he wasn't there from a tenuous source, and that was it, so wasn't much to "report" on. Obviously, he is not there. Not what you're looking for.

The Red Sox care more about makeup when signing amateurs than any other team. Did they forget to give Acosta the Neuro-testing?

He never roomed with Kopech, did he?

He may have been the other guy in the altercation with Kopech.

He got a $1.5 mil signing bonus right? He's from the DR. He's young. He doesn't ever have to work again in his mind maybe. That's a whole lot of money and he's not used to it. He has the testosterone of a youthful professional athlete. He may not feel he needs to report at all. Latin pride? "Maturity" issues? Not a good situation and it seems we have gone there a lot recently.

You are a stereotype of yourself. Or a troll. I can't decide.

Never underestimate the profound culture shock that Dominican kids have when they come to this country. Remember the former Red Sox pitcher who literally lived under a coconut tree before signing with an MLB team.
I learned a great deal about the difficult conditions in the DR from 4 RS minor leaguers from the Dominican who lived with me off and on for a couple of months years back when the Sox and Mariners had a joint team in the Arizona Summer League. Hopefully, he has a support system at home.

Their signing bonuses put the Sox Int signing budget over the top, motivatirig tbr FO to sign Moncada. Maybe be felt neglected looking at the bright .ligbts on Anderson and Yoan. He is just a kid with ego, homones and sense of justice. Lets hope Chris returns to earth and the DSLand gets his career on track. Maybe get Papi and Pedro on his case?

#LatinPride
Think I'll post that whenever Hanley or Ortiz hit a home run.

I think we can safely assume they would have signed Moncada regardless. And even if not, I'm fairly certain that Espinoza's bonus alone put them over.

I do agree with your assessment on these "possibilities" though.

I'm OK with your statement........It has to be something though.....There's no injury documentation. If it's a Brian Johnson type thing, I'm ok with that. As a RS fan, I am curious as to what it is. It's not like he got a $10k signing bonus.
