Hector Gomez burned us last year with the Marcell Ozuna to the White Sox stuff he was backing from a source, so keep that in mind, but he also did nail the terms of our offer for Machado and maybe the Moncada extension too? Anyway.....

A sexual one? 😧

Madrigal OR Stiever? Those are vastly different levels of prospect. I would be willing to move Madrigal for Musgrove if they can find a way to get Adam Frazier back. No sense creating a hole at 2B just to get a #4 guy in our rotation.

Was hoping and preferred it was Cal Kestis instead of Luke, but can't say I was disappointed. And watching reaction videos to Star Wars fans bawling their eyes out when Luke showed up was pretty cool, so I'm happy for those people.

Depends on what you mean, I guess. Most talented had got to be Chris Sale. He obviously doesn't have the longevity of a Buehrle or Konerko, but he was the best and most dominant player we've had since Frank. A legitimate MVP/Cy Young choice every year should be the criteria. That's Sale.

I have no reason to be upset with Rick Hahn, and I'll forgive JR if he actually loosens up his grip on the pocketbook and this team is an annually top 10 in payroll like they should be. Winning a championship despite a middling payroll doesn't give me any reason to forgive JR. Spending money, does.

I disagree. He usually tells fanbases how they need to pay him more attention in social media and "step their game up" with the amount of attention and begging for him to come to their teams. He even complained about one of the fanbases that they went almost a whole day without courting him. I'm shocked at how many people still don't realize Bauer is a giant douchebag. My favorite is when he plays victim talking about being bullied as a kid, and so now he bullies others to inspire kids that get bullied that they too can one day have a big enough platform to become the bully and not the bullied. He sucks.

I would do that if the Cubs are throwing in a ton of cash. He's got 3 yrs/$59M left over. That completely reasonable except for the fact that he's 34 already. I don't know if many people realize Darvish is older than Lance Lynn. Lynn has thrown 1847 innings as a professional. Darvish has thrown 1127 in the MLB and another 1268 in Japan. That's a total of 2400 innings.

I lost the 1st RD of the playoffs because Herbert got 2 pts and the Chiefs lied about Edwards-Helaire's health, so I started him and he didn't even play. The guy I made the trade with for Herbert is now in the Championship game due in part to Mike Davis, whom I gave him in that trade. Welp.

I could be wrong, but I think Martino is the same guy who shit on the Sox during the Machado sweepstakes and said the Sox have no chance of signing anyone big and that players don't want to play for them. I'm paraphrasing since it's been a couple of years, but it was along those lines.

Not always. For high end superstars, yes. But for smaller deals the team will sometimes tell them they have xxx to spend on that position, so they got 24 hours, 48 hours, whatever to respond or else they will give it to the next guy. Otherwise, no one would ever sign until February.

Interesting. Last I heard the descendants/community for Chief Black Hawk was still approving of their use. I'm not able to read the article right now, but that must have changed I guess.

When did that happen? Spotrac still lists MVP Sports Group as his agency.

My off-season plan included Colome + Yates. If it's Colome + Yates or just Hendricks, I'll probably take Colome + Yates. Although there is no reason why the Sox can't afford any 2 of those 3 guys anyway.

I saw someone suggest the Cleveland Americans I thought that would actually be a nice gesture.
