Think it was Kipnis and Clippard.

The majority of players asked discouraged the Clevinger add for several reasons not the least of which is his attitude. The team also contacted several former CLE teammates as well FWIW.

He's dealing with multiple issues but the PCFS he's described in back-to-backs has been an issue for sure.

Vaughn + Kopech didn't seem a fair ask?

Post-Covid fatigue syndrome is a real thing.

Bidding war. Keep an eye on ATL

Stay strong NOT Steve

Couldn't be further from the truth. The entire club is behind him. Everybody. The speculation on his professional and personal safety concerns in the midst of a pandemic has been beyond unfair by the media and a large portion of this fanbase. People need to get over it and let the guy live his life. Unreal.

This is just wrong and ignorant. The world doesn't need it to "end". The world needs scientifically developed immunity and that comes in the form of a vaccine not this "herd" concept where millions and millions of human beings are infected.

Based on the reckless and selfish behavior of a significant part of the US population that May spread is gonna boomerang us right back into a lockdown.

Likely both.

You mean like Luis Robert?

You mean misses like Moncada, Eloy and Gio?

This move is a low risk piece that may or may not make an impact. It certainly won't preclude them from more significant deals.

Doing what? He was told it's not true and he's not wrong. As of today Ozuna hasn't signed with the White Sox. How Bruce wants to publically characterize his intel is on him and he's paid for it more than once.

For veracity context: Bruce Levine has no idea who Ozuna's agent is.

Timing was a total coincidence. The plan was to get him reps there this ST anyway.

After the meeting they upped the offer and presented. Lazano took it, meet with SD and never responded again until after Manny's decision was made.

This did not happen.

Bruce, Buster and Bob doing work?

LOL 👌

Listen, the player could have a life changing meeting experience with the perfect club offering the perfect scenario including multi-generational wealth for countless lifetimes. A deal of this magnitude and complexity still takes weeks to consummate even for the most astute negotiators.

I am. (optimistic) ...But that's me.

Your contributions are always welcome here. You're OK in my book, Jack. 👍

RE: Nightengale - Jack there are several enlightening posts in this thread to inform you exactly why he's so involved and what purpose Bob serves. Hint: It ain't his journalism skills...
