DH in the NL

I found this article about a catcher in the Royals system that they’re high. Wonder if this would make them out on Adley? More to keep an eye on: After a strong first full professional season, there's little doubt that MJ Melendez is the heir apparent to Salvador Perez behind the plate in Kansas City. Melendez possesses good power, finishing 2018 with 19 homers and 73 RBIs, but needs to tighten up his approach to become a more well-rounded hitter. He's also good defensively, throwing out more than 40 percent of would-be basestealers and showing overall strong poise as a backstoprofessional season.

Sounds valid to me. You are the “insider” we’ve all been waiting for!

If it’s all guaranteed money I wouldn’t be so down on this FO if that’s what we offer. If Harper gets more than that from someone else, so be it.

I guess stupid money meant here’s our offer that we feel is good enough, and Harper would be stupid for taking it

Everyone has been shitting on Nightengale and Heyman for their tweets, and it’s accepted. Why is that, and his post are ok?

Manny’s replacement at 3B.

Who the hell is batting 8th? Peterson?

Hahn >>>Preller

No shit! Everyone’s opinion to him is wrong and he tells them they are. Unless he was at the damn table what his opinion is no more reliable than anybody else’s opinion.

And with this reported offer by the White Sox the Miami Marlins sign Bryce Harper to a 10 year $326 million contract. The Marlins use the money they got back in the Stanton deal to give it to Harper. Physical still pending, of course.

If the Sox are serious about free agents next year I feel like they should wait til February to jump in and be the “mystery team.” Being “at the table” in December means you have to wait 2 more months for something to happen because the offer we made wasn’t good enough. Hahn can keep his “at the table” bullshit narrative for himself. Someone in this front office needs to be hired that specializes in getting the deals done.

If they’re for Alonso’s daughter why can’t she post them?

I hope this is via trade pending Machado/Harper signing. Keuchel is a #3 at best. The rest of the free agent starters are #5. None of them help will help accelerate the rebuild.

Are you joking with this?

NSS72, what are your feelings about drafting a guy like Vaughn if the Sox have several options for the same position?
