yeah...the only chance you have in the current meta is to draft and develop EXTREMELY well (ie Rays) or you have to pay up. That is it. No other real options. Sox suck at Free Agency...and are mediocre at drafting and developing...Trading is about all Hahn seems like he can do...and now it's starting to feel like baseball hell (not nearly as cryptic as the Bulls basketball hell)

Padres are nuts...in a why the f*** aren't we all on padrestalk.com right now fun?

Bellinger is most likely just a guy going forward. Would rather they go Nimmo or Conforto for the Outfield anyways...but they probably are gonna ruin it all and let Sheets and Colas die out there

Say you are a masochist...without saying you are a masochist.

So we are at the fake trades stage of boredom I see...

87 year old bodies run out soon.

If Gavin Sheets is your opening day starter...I am finally prepared to become a full time Braves fan. (context: I live down the street from their stadium)

and Twitter's top responses...☠️

And tax threshold is 233 mil for 2023. ABSOLUTELY NO reason to not be in the 215 range.

Can you imagine walking into the Winter meetings hotel and you see GMs from the top 10 markets in baseball dropping 30+ mil contracts left and right (holding huge brief cases full of cash)...and Hahn is sitting in the corner worried that his $15 dollar manhattan may not be an approved business expense...

Hold on...louder for the filters... F U C K Jerry

f*** Jerry.

glad to hear. you know your stuff...but butt heads with so many...I can never really tell. ?

yeah...anyone who has an account on soxtalk and POSTs somewhat regularly being called a casual is the biggest case of message board virtue signaling I can imagine. All hail Ray for being a REAL DIEHARD

His agent is going to ask for MORE now that Verlander got that deal...and I agree...he should ask for it. If anyone does give it to him...well...good luck.

I will take that bet. I was WRONG about last season...I guarantee you he doesn't pitch over 180 innings on more than 2 years of the 6. Shoulder issues will always linger and Carlos really isn't the model of diet/conditioning that can overcome it.

So the rate for an Old Ace on a short term deal is 43 mil a season now. And people were complaining about 8/12 mil a year for Clevinger...?

Verlander 2 years 86.8 million....? OUT OF CONTROL spending https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxL2tsrHHw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

So this deal is outstanding again. Bravo honestly

The rangers have spent nearly 750 million on 4 players that aren't even close to top 25 players in the league (maybe not top 50) Great plan...this totally won't blow up in their faces...

Reese should tell it.

what is the best corner outfielder Gio would net with at least 2 years of control? That makes sense...as well as signing a lefty LF if they can't find a good OF match and go prospects and a 2nd base starter instead. But 2nd base trade would need to be really good to make it worth it.

This is either going to be a Carlos Lee type trade that we all hate and leads them to greater things...or it's going to be a disaster and close the window most likely. Strap in.

I can't believe people are this passionate about Cueto. He's a guy.
