No way they would bother offering a short term to Cole. Boras wouldnt even answer the phone unless they came with at least a 225+ offer

If it wasn't for a miracle rain delay that team would be the most underwhelming 5 year run of any contender in recent history. They had prospects, the GM and spent the money...and in short order they will be back to the lovable losers while the White Sox make all the headlines. I'm happy their die-hard fans got to see a championship, but talk about an ideal scenario for beaten down Southside fans. The cockiness and annoyance of Cubs fans hit such an obnoxious level that it's just desserts to see them fall apart just as quickly. Dynasty Broken.

4/74 will only happen if he has a bad medical report circulating. He is getting 95-105 easily and potentially more as you said. SFG make no sense though since they really are not trending upward at all.

If I remember right hawk said that several games against the Mariners...

Every time hawk said that I immediately said exactly that...except that one time I was really wasted. Let's not talk about that...

It was tough to get Cole, stras and wheeler all into Chicago the day before Thanksgiving. Next week...

All a mirage for the Strasburg signing Friday.

Anyone with a brain and understanding of rosters would agree to their assessment. Cubs had their chance, won a series and choked on a dynasty. Sox are set for a 3-5 years of very competitive runs. Unfortunately so are the Yankees and Astros so Sox still need a #1 or #2 starter to put them over the top....and some lucky bounces in the postseason.

same. I have never checked twitter and traderumors faster than the last hour

Yeah. I agree. Would love to see them full strength though. Gonna be fun

I think Madrigal and Robert both get offered spring training extensions like Eloy. Either bite?

I'm good with this. Shows desire to get better. Next season he is a 40+ hr monster.

If you are going 6 years...it's for Cole or Strasburg only. But Cole should be able to find 7 or 8 to some silly team.

It's done, it's over. Worst part is we got damaged goods and Padres didn't get disciplined.

I really don't understand this. 3rd year not only should have been an option...it should have been heavily team friendly. Our cash to be spent is drying up fast and I don't see the need to do this other than Jose is a mentor. I'm sorry, 12 mil a year to mentor would be fine.

IF, and it's a big IF Hahn assumed Moncada would blossom at 3B and they could get Grandal & Wheeler basically with that money he wins GM of the year, hands down.

Pitching wins championships. The lineup is going to be GOOD. still need pitching.

This is a great signing. Don't stop now boys...Strasburg.

Good. Winter Meetings could be NUTS if everyone is actually making their decisions. Also...good for MLB. They need a super buzz filled off-season because this Astros thing is BAD.

Very surprised at the gamble. If dude tears his elbow... Hopefully he regresses and Twins now have less payroll to use. I wonder how this affects their offseason plan?

speculation. Sorry should have stated that this close to deadline.

2/24 guaranteed - team option for 8 million/2million buyout for 3rd year.

I can get behind this. He is a good bat if the price is right and ultimately could spell Moncada at third occasionally (or rendon ) This also is a perfect transition for Madrigal. Hot dang...we need Moose!

After Hahn's comments yesterday about Vaughn being a quick mover...Are they going to look for a 1 year stop gap type DH then? Because Jose would HAVE to move to DH in 2021 for Vaughn...right? Not sure I love the idea of 3 year Jose

Crap. You guys are right. My fat finger had a typo. I meant to say 4/60. I still think that is life altering money not to walk away from.
