  1. Yes, and if the Sox were done spending elsewhere, it wouldn't be a big deal to eat some money. The fact that they're waiting to minimize how much they have to eat tells me that they might have plans for that money.
  2. It's pretty clear at this point the Sox have offers for Kimbrel. It's just a matter of whether they choose any of those offers over keeping him. If Conforto really is an option, then they'll definitely get something worked out with one of the suitors.
  3. I'm not even worrying about Conforto or any other bat at this point. Package Crochet with Burger or Sheets and go get Manaea, unload Kimbrel paying as little as possible, and address RF and/or 2B at the trade deadline.
  4. If they're willing to wait to trade Kimbrel, then that pretty much means: 1) the money saved from moving Kimbrel isn't going to sign Conforto or anyone else 2) the potential return in the trade isn't going to be flipped to get a SP
  5. Is there a reason they aren't ready to make a decision, other than to get all the fans' blood pressure up? Does JR have a stake in a pharmaceutical that makes blood pressure meds?
  6. Purdue's had the red carpet rolled out for them. If they can't make the Final Four this year, they may never do it.
  7. In a few days, a new, mysterious account will appear named NotCraigKimbrel.
  8. Jansen signed last night. That was the domino that needed to fall first. I think Kimbrel is gone by Monday, if not sooner.
  9. I disagree. The difference between Graveman/Kelly and who would take their innings is greater than the difference between Conforto and Sheets/Engel.
  10. This team would be way worse with Conforto and without all three of those relievers.
  11. Not giving Conforto a deal in that range because he's not worth it would be something different.
  12. Would have offered Schwarber this much before Conforto.
  13. Do I think Conforto would be better than Vaughn/Sheets/Engel for RF? Yes. Do I think the difference would be large enough to throw 5/$100 at him? No. Offer him 2/$35 or 3/$45 and if someone beats that offer, let them have him and play the trade market in July. I think the team is helped a lot more by trading for Montas, Manaea, or whoever else is on the market. If there's only one transaction left before the season starts, that's the one I hope it is. Schwarber, on the other hand, I would have matched or even topped what he got. He would have been a beast in between Jose and Eloy.
  14. He only had routine plays and made them all. Not really challenged.
  15. I guess the Bears are going to try having just one Pringle.
  16. Perhaps the Sox have to throw in someone else to even out the trade?
  17. https://twitter.com/NOTCishek/status/1504475747695570960?s=20&t=0UERpgv2A8aE9rl0jyFuzg
  18. We have the rumor from NSC about Kimbrel, but nothing on the SP or RF front for a while now. Let's see if a fresh start brings fresh info.
  19. 191 pages and nothing major has happened. Maybe we need to kill this thread and start an "Offseason Part 3" thread.
  20. My extended family has Illini, Boilermakers, Spartans and Fighting Irish so yeah, Michigan is not popular in my family.
  21. What if the Sox have to eat $4 million to trade Kimbrel? Does that $4 millions count against the Sox CBT?
