Carpool in Boras' Escalade.

Three cars in their three spots is cool and all, but maybe they're just reviewing how the Syndergaard signing shifts the direction of the off-season. Going over budget, whose in their ball park monetarily, trade options, etc..

I just mean there's a lot they could be discussing.

Tbf couldn't they do that over the phone, or Zoom? That seems like a zoom conversation.

Signings is where you meet up in person. 

I agree with you, btw.

I suppose that depends on the specifics of the conversation. Important budgetary meetings and brainstorming potential targets is a lot easier on person. 

But if there is significance to the cars being there, it may not be a signing, it may be courting. Big money free agents, like Syndergaard, typically have a shot down with a GM, owner and manager about how they'd handle him, how he'd be used, how he'd be marketed, etc. It doesn't mean there's a signing as much as it could be a sign that they're chasing a big fish.

And Big money free agents, there's a lot of them in this market. Could be anyone really.
