Trolls will thrive as long as people keep reacting to them.

I would have moved the Cubs 30 years ago to a new yard built in the Woodfield Mall parking lot. Leave Chicago to the Sox.

In fairness the other teams got public funding. My issue with the Wrigley project is that most of it was for commercial development and I assume the owners were invested in that as well. I have really grown to despise developers. The idea of the public good or public trust is basically a fraud on taxpayers. Chances are when public officials support a development they have a finanical stake in it. It is rarely for the public good or altruistic.

Fake Ken Rosenthal has Sox closing in on Machado for 12/360 if you can believe it. Why not 20 years??

Jon Heyman expects the Sox will sign one of the Big Two.

Next step will be to integrate online betting with the games brought to you by Xfinity. Hoping I can hack someone else's account.

Having 22,553 viewers would be worth several trillion dollars per year. There must be play as you go adjustments.

Forget the FA's I am too distracted with Katy P's ladybits.

After Disco Demolition ruined the swampy field they poured a bunch of sand in right-center and Claudell was afraid to run over there to chase down the ball. That sign the next year was fabulous. Jimmie Piersall was looking for Steve Dahl to kick him one in the booty.

Shades of Brett Lawrie I hope not.

Jack Parkman, Ed Stroud, Todd Cruz, Terry Bevington, Charles Comiskey, Dayan Viciedo, Jose Paniagua, Adam LaRoche, Bobby Bonds, Claudell Washington, Jerry Dybzinski .

I would think it is a team concern. The team would need to write Tim a check if he is being switched to third. He had a decent season. A couple more veterans could take the glare off of Anderson and Moncada.

The Yankees and Red Sox keep extra hitters around who compete for playing time. Not a terrible idea unless you are a big Adam Engel fan.

If it turns out that the Boras-Harper venture was just waiting for the Dodgers to clean house then we have all been played.

His name would naturally come up because he is being moved, happens to be Cuban and we need OF help. I suppose it is a chicken or omelette thingy with not facilitating the Dodger's position to harpoon Bryce. My thought being that if Puig was being recycled sure we would take a look. Puig is not in a market position to pressure teams to open their wallets regardless of his contract status. The oddest thing about Puig is that he does not hit lefties well.

His ops is actually worse than the guys we already have.

Nice depth piece could make up for losing Narvaez bat. Surprised that people are dismissive of Palka.

Sounds like Harper is waiting on LA to move some bodies. If it does not work out he might just as well play here. Maybe the Dodgers would send us Puig. Scott Boras is in Heaven with the Sox jumping into the market. This is what he lives for. My view is to set limits with time and money, and don't get caught up in the market madness.

Do players really want to go to a winner or be part of a winner. I don't think a year of rebuilding would scare anyone off.

I would not get into a bidding war. You have to set limits and stand by them.

A left-bearded Nats hitter who put up .249 on his way out. What could go wrong? I would offer 350 open for ten days then move on.

Sox win rumor mill. Contract delayed one week while they convert Kraft Kave to a daycare nursery for Mrs Harper.

When you deal with Boras you might as well say here is $350M, we will take it back in ten days and spend it on someone else.

He actually said a front-runner and a deal is not imminent. Phil's Dodgers or Sox.

Sum really big news at the winter meetings (---------)
