Ideally, we would’ve traded someone else for Konerko but Paulie was a #3 prospect in baseball as a 3B at the time.

I don’t think this was a bad take at the time. I was too. He was a great defensive CF with massive power but he didn’t hit for average. But you could see there was some raw talent there. He was an exciting player and I wasn’t happy to see him traded. Now we have Robert who potentially has all five tools.

Trout definitely looks huge like a linebacker (Urlacher style) but I doubt he looks as yoked as Robert without a shirt on in that picture. Trout may be taking the bulking roids but Robert is defined like a WWF wrestler. He looks like Ravishing Rick Rude in that picture. But I think he skips legs day.

I’ll be honest. I have serious doubts that that is all natural. If that picture isn’t photoshopped, that’s some horse steroids shit right there.

This must end any Bryant-esque grievance concerns the Sox may have had. Madrigal isn’t the hyped up talent Robert is and he hasn’t completed a full season at AAA. I think the Sox will be able to call him up after the deadline without much fuss.

Why did he list Marshall and Herrera twice?

The Twins, Nationals, and now the Braves have all offered Donaldson a 4 year contract. https://mobile.twitter.com/DOBrienATL/status/1212823113047691265 Hopefully the Twins lose out.

Robert’s new contract only adds $1.5 million to the 2020 payroll. Plenty of room to add two relievers and a bench bat.

Nope. The Sox lineup will have like one player who should be bunting in Madrigal. It’s just mostly a bad baseball strategy these days.

Maybe Not Steve Cishek actually has some sources? 😐

Nah, give that money to Moncada and Giolito and hope either Mazara booms or a guy like Adolfo pans out.

They just said the Sox are the only team in Chicago with their arrow pointed up. Cue the Guaranteed Rate logo jokes...

The Score is absolutely blowing the Sox for once. Funny to hear.

$76 million dollars guaranteed without ever playing a major league game. Good for Robert and good for the Sox.

True, good point.

Now they can focus on a couple relievers and a righty-handed RF. Mendick and Leury should be able to fill in for Madrigal.

Lol, you suck. Greatest offseason ever.

Morosi’s comment is one thing but Phil suggests possibly both Moncada and Robert with his and/or.

I like this one the best: “Phil taking immediate advantage of legalized marijuana laws.”

Tough to give up, Phil? How about stupid?

I am guessing Pillar gets snapped up because he can still play CF. I wonder if Hahn slow plays the bench market and grabs Pence or Zobrist closer to the start of spring training for next to nothing?

If Hahn had only signed one starter this offseason, I would agree with you. But the opening day rotation should be good enough to compete in every game until Kopech and Rodon are back. If Lopez or Cease still have their issues, a guy like Collin McHugh would be very valuable to keep them in those games. Giolito Keuchel Cease Gio Lopez

No more long bathroom breaks when the bottom 4 hitters in the lineup are due up. 😂
