1. The plan was to add just those two guys. 2. There was zero contingency plan should they miss on one. 3. That they aren't involved with any of the people you named.

You're making a lot of assumptions here.

This stuff also doesn't just stop at 5 PM a good chunk of the White Sox moves the last time they were adding happened late at night during the meetings. I very vividly remember not doing any of the studying I was supposed to do when both Shark and Frazier were added.

We have those, seems pointless to me.

I've been racking my brain all day and can't think of anything.

No one. Someone just made the observation that he showed up.

Why would the president of baseball operations not be at the Winter Meetings?

I don't think there's any chance the Sox are on the receiving end, but the rays moving Snell is totally conceivable.

Hard to say.

We should ban the M word.

If Homer Bailey is in a Sox uniform ever, I will vomit. Yes, I'm aware he wasn't so bad last year, but gross.

The Reds are 1 for 3 this offseason. It's standard dude. The Yankees missed on Corbin and Machado. Shit happens. Move on.

You see, teams must convert on 100% of their targets or else they are failures.

Because the Rays work in mysterious ways.

I think he meant too long to get around to actually doing it.

We're never going to stop re-litigating last offseason huh. JFC

The Cubs possibly trading someone who should be an all time legend to save a buck is hilarious to me.

This is what has been driving me nuts ever since the sky started falling last week.

Ah, so it's just a cash management thing I guess.

Apparently there is over 80 million differed. Anyone care to try and Time Value that mf?

7 years at 35 mil seems like an awful lot for a guy who is going to turn 32 next year.

I would imagine quite a bit more.

Gerrit Cole is 1000% going to be a Yankee.

Passan says $245 btw.

Didn't think he was ever going to leave the Nats. Pretty much seals the deal on Rendon I would imagine.
