Rich Hill ?

I saw on Facebook that he signed with the Red Sox but it is not on MLB or the Red Sox site. Is this "fake news"?

There's a lockout. Team and league sites basically have no player news.

Sorry. I'm old , so just get rid of this before I am also deemed senile. Thanks for the above info.

Not just no player news. Without a deal with the union, the league can't use player names or images on their assets.

That's what the league is saying, but no one is sure that's actually true (and you can still buy jerseys with player names on them, featured prominently under the "shop" section of Red Sox.com).

That's because the Union has a different deal with the vendors who provide the jerseys.

I have a lot of experience with this, and the labor lawyers all advise removing all imagery. I know lawyers a super risk-adverse, but that's the advice.

Another clear sign that Facebook can be completely trusted to tell the truth.

I think that we're all good here. New threads are good Monbo, don't sweat it.
