I was mostly referring to the Burnes rumor that has been spreading both here and on Twitter, but I get the sense that they're looking to move him for any #3 or better & controlled SP. But I guess if I had to guess, it would be Burnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. That's why I'm kind of skeptical about that deal, because it seems like it's not enough. At the same time, it's tough for me to think of a realistic target that makes more sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad in the sense they’re unreasonable to expect a madrigal centered trade to be enough to compel the Brewers to trade the vastly more valuable Burnes or Woodruff I have to assume you mean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He means trading important players from the major league roster or top prospects for a player whose equal is available in free agency for only money.

South Side Hit Men Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Matt Spiegel noted a rumored target date to allow partial fan attendance into Chicago stadiums is August 1, 2021. Im assuming Jerry will push for an July 23 or 30 MLB Opening Day and have the Sox open on the road, and an August 2 home opener if that is the case.

I get he has potential and we might make a trade even up for a Vaughn type. No way are we making 3 or 4 to 1 trades for a #4 rotation piece. Frankly...I would prefer Mike Leake and give up nobody.

Sometimes it's called for but JR isn't the devil, he just rather make money than lose it ,rather than do what it takes to win a World Series. 2005 just reinforced Jerry's belief that it can be done with a little money and a lot of luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may also be additional players who want to train / attend as well, but cannot due to MLB’s facility access protocols. 1 hour ago, aeichhor said: Has there been a report of an agreement between MLB and the Players Association regarding COVID training protocols? Otherwise, these players are among the exceptions to restrictions issued by MLB on January 5th. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2021/01/05/mlb-threatens-discipline-for-teams-violating-facility-access-protocols/4142122001/ MLB informed clubs in their memo sent Monday that only three categories of players may access their facilities before the start of spring training: Players who have a permanent residence proximate to their facilities. Players who require entry to the facility to receive medical care.

hogan873 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 It was a weird feeling last year watching the last spring training game or two, knowing some sort of shutdown was coming. Little did we know it would change everything. I equate those last few games with the end of life as we knew it. Now we'll get to watch the spring training games knowing there's light at the end of the tunnel. I'm actually pretty positive about the future. I think we'll see limited attendance early in the season (May?) and close to full capacity by late August/early September. And we'll look back at spring training 2021 as when things really started to look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
