Time for baseball to go the way of football and have a separate offence and defense.

Service time will likely be a major sticking point in the next CBA. Young players and their agents are realizing teams are not going to give out those sweet contracts to guys in their 30's anymore so they need to find a way to get paid earlier.

This glove thing is obviously done at Lozano's request. Trying to get the Padres to up the offer. Sorry, stirring the pot.

If you wanted to sign him on day 1 without him checking in with other teams you would have had to offer something that would have broken the total dollar and AAV records for sure. Maybe even a record for total years.

The print is really small.

According to my source, Manny Machado will sign with the White Sox on January 16th, 2029. Terms of the deal will be one year $20 million.

What do you think has the Sox not liking their chances? Is it that they don't feel they can beat the other offers financially, that they don't feel they are a desired location or both?

Ahh yes, ncorgbl. The greatest poster in soxtalk history. I too unfortunately missed the story of his demise, I was quite upset when I came back to the boards and found out I missed all the drama.

My guess is that they will finish their meeting with Philly tomorrow then tell the teams who are in it to make their best offers on Friday. A decision will be made over the weekend and White Sox fans will will get an early Christmas present on Monday evening.

Julio Franco disagrees.

Watching the videos I still think it is his left hand that hits the box and his right knee hits the wall. QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Dec 21, 2017 -> 10:41 AM) No, he hit the big, shiny metal box in the lower left corner of your screenshot.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 20, 2017 -> 04:12 PM) I would agree. Not impossible but highly unlikely. Could the injury happen from impacting the inch or so of concrete wall that appears to be exposed above the padding on the wall?

It looks like there is about an inch of exposed wall above the padding. Possibly that is what the knee hit?

Watching the video, to me it appears that it is his left hand that hits the box and pushes it in. his legs appear to be farther to the right of the box.
