Contrary to what people say, Abreu to me has turned into a very good defender at 1B.

Thank you, but I think everyone already knows this.

Not so quick on that. I'm sure they're just shutting the inning down for him to get him back out there for a 2nd inning.

He could probably out slugg Moncada if given the Job at 3B. Not saying he's a better player, but he could probably out slugg him.

Your overuse of the word "pal" is quite amusing.

Where is this exact quote by Rick Hahn?

I week from now when Conforto signs elsewhere, same folks will be screaming in here saying "they were lied to once again." All because Merkin had the shits at 3AM and jumped on Twitter.

The offer was at the start of last season (Arb1), so it's 2 FA seasons he was asked to give up on that deal.

While this extension looked fair for Lucas, it just boggles my mind how JR just refuses to ever put his balls on the wall and go all in. Lucas is deserving of being the Sox first $100 million contract. Instead of 4 for $50m they should have gone all in at 6 for $100m Arb1 $10m Arb2 $15m Arb3 $20m FA1 $20m FA2 $20m FA3 $15m

They go together. Who's to say that the Front Office sleepwalking thru this offseason isn't as a result of already having this great core in place?

I should have thought about that. Hell, just the lineup cards being posted turns into the End of Days.

If the Sox play deep into October, is it still a botched offseason? I understand some of you guys are frustrated and miserable, but RELAX. Calling our situation a "disaster" is comical if you put things in perspective. Not only for baseball but life in general. I think a lot of you guys need the games to have started like yesterday. Let's all calm down a bit.

Disaster?

Chicago media barely covers Sox games to begin with.

I think the argument has more to do, Is he a $100 million ballplayer? And for the Sox, $100 million contract is not a drop in the bucket as we all know.

Man, our fanbase easily loses their shit.

His reps get even worse if Conforto signs.

LaRussa isn't a dumb ass. If Vaughn is who he's suppose to be (hit both lefties and righties), they're not taking his bat out of the lineup.

Keep the door open there. Sheets exclusively vs RH pitchers, then Abreu vs LH pitchers with Grandal playing 1B.

Top 10 out of a possible 30 teams, and 5 teams aren't even trying. Is Conforto worth $100 million when you think of it this way? Who's to say Andrew Vaugh (even with the assumption of a negative glove for RF) can't hit his way to being a 2+ WAR player and make the top 15 on this RF list. At $20 million vs $700K for 2022, I think I'm willing to roll the dice with Andrew Vaughn.

What a delusional fuck. Rick Hahn every passing season shows us he is a dud at what he does. Go ask Kris Bryant if there was any relationship damage by pettiness in his case.

Let's be real here, it's not about the miserable $50K they're holding back. That's a drop in the bucket. It's this front office (Reinsdorf) trying to always hold some sort of made up moral standard in doing business. "I'm right you're wrong" bullshit that never ends. There has to be more to this than what led to this embarrassment of $50K. I almost guarantee the Sox approached Lucas with one those sweetheart low ball extensions to buy out arbitration + 2 seasons of FA and Lucas (union guy) told them to go fuck off. So now this $50K ridiculousness is a way of the Sox telling him to go fuck off. Yes, Lucas is long gone now and it's shame.

Good inning by Keuchel.

Crazy how this Brewers announcer sounds just like Chip Caray
