text: 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)

replies: text: 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)

replies: text:  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)
replies: text: 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)

replies: text: 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)
