There are many possible inferences for their lack of activity. You've listed one of them. Another is they totally misread the market. A third is they are content to play in the shallow end of the pool. I'm guessing some combo of 2/3 are more likely than the first.

Get Conforto and Schwarber done, get Kimbrel shipped out.

I dont get why we would sign Castellanos over Schwarber. If we are adding a bat only guy he damn well better be a lefty. And no I don't want to hear money as the reason. We haven't spent much at all. And I don't want to hear because Schwarber isn't gonna sign before the universal DH rule is clarified. If that's the case, theoretically Castellanos shouldn't be signing either. Chicago better sign BOTH Conforto and Schwarber tomorrow.

Horrific.

Dude....where was the deal today?

Yep. Thats a garbage result.

Why concern ourselves with SP when we are trying to lock down Leury first?

When r the Sox going to do something meaningful and by meaningful I dont mean trading one man's trash for another man's trash?

And he won't be able to prove himself if he's patrolling the OF because he will always get hurt, necessitating the move to DH, and trading of Vaughn to open up LF for Schwarber, since JR will insist on another Abreu extension.

Implying a Vaughn trade...kind of like Harold a few days ago. Although that doesn't make sense...if it did, the key time would be 4:25pm not 4:26 pm, unless he threw in that extra minute as a smokescreen.

Lol....no

Ofcourse this is an absurd deal. Cishek claims the Sox wouldn't guarantee a 7th year. I'd be royally pissed if they truly offered him a 6 yr deal (or any deal at all....its like they don't know or care what our needs are).

With Philly I'm assuming? We need savages pronto.

THIS Bring me left handed savages!

Ok so I guess I'll just take a walk and watch the rest of the Broncos game and then I assume thereafter we will have a 30 page thread about the Conforto signing and trading Kimbrel for Nola.

When?

4 years would have been too much

Harold, when is our deal being done? You said it was imminent and it's an 80 degree day outdoors and I'm inside on my phone.

It's unclear why JR would make truly transformative investments in the team when he can take the money to his grave instead.

Assuming we were never going to get into a serious bidding war for Siemian at the number of years noted here, then why would the Philly trade depend on it?

Thank God it wasn't us.

If they don't want Kimbrel, what do u think it would cost?

Huge steal for MIN even if he only plays 100 games a year.

If that dude could ever stay healthy, he will quickly regret settling only for 100 million.

Damn.
