LACKEY IS A RED SOX

MLB NETWORK AND ESPN AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU? 67.162.133.18 (talk) 23:15, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

It's not official even they say so.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 23:42, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Got to read the fine print. ...a source familiar with the negotiations told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. It's pesky phrases like this, that separates confirmed from still rumor.--Cube lurker (talk) 23:48, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

From the first paragraph: Now, they have reportedly added a third. Reportedly is a fancy way of saying it's unconfirmed.--Cube lurker (talk) 00:10, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

which is another way of saying "wait 45 minutes and it'll be confirmed" remember justsomerandomguy32? you guys are being like him, which btw is bad. 67.162.133.18 (talk) 00:21, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

from the article: "Lackey will join Jon Lester and Josh Beckett in what would have to be considered one of the most formidable rotation trios in the Major Leagues." 67.162.133.18 (talk) 00:24, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

From the article: "Earlier on Monday, it was reported that the Red Sox were having Lackey take a physical, typically an indication that a free agent is on the verge of signing." I think we should just say he's a Red Sox. Jonathansuh (talk) 00:59, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

WP:CRYSTAL - wait for an official announcement; do not add speculative/potential/possible/likely roster changes to Wiki. --Madchester (talk) 01:02, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh God here we go...... It's not speculative it has happened. 67.162.133.18 (talk) 01:09, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

If "it has happened" Sox team officials will confirm the deal has been completed. It's that simple. Ben Sheets "agreed to a 2 year contact" with the Rangers earlier this year - but he failed his physical so the contract never became officail. A few years ago, that Jason Kidd trade was "agreed upon" by the Mavsericks and Nets. However, it fell through after Devean George activated his no trade clause... and a different set of players had to be involved in another trade between both teams. Transactions fall through for dozens of reasons...hence WP:CRYSTAL's provisions against unoffical roster changes. This ties in with WP:BLP, and the need to write conservatively about a living subject. --Madchester (talk) 01:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
