I think I'm ready to admit that Hector Gomez is full of it

Kenny ALWAYS gets his man

Bob Nutting is the cheapo that everyone thinks Reinsdorf is x2

There's still not a mystery team. If there were this would already be over for better or worse.

I'm not assuming they'll be knocking on the door. But, the dodgers aren't trading away years 5-10 of Joc, they are trading 5 and 6 and any package heading back should and will reflect that.

Because when making a trade you can only assume the value of his existing contract. You can't be giving players away on a guess that the guy will like it enough here to resign/not get injured/ etc etc

Yeah I don't think anyone has suggested that

And most were acquired to appeal to Machado. They aren't even meant to be stop gaps, or win games. They have one purpose

I would rather have Palka DHing than Alonso

Nobody that is going to important to this window is going to go anywhere. Get players who can actually play baseball.

Totally agree, but Yolmer is the kind of guy, assuming the Sox can establish stars, that will be the difference between 2015/2016 and 202*.

RF is a pretty weak position. I can't think of many guys I would rather have on the roster there than ELoy going into a season. Harper, Betts obviously. Yelich if you consider him an RF. Then you get into guys like Nimmo, Haniger, Piscotty. I don't think it's that big of a reach.

I was going to say wednesday, but if they're 'Looking to wrap it up' that implies to me that they've been pretty much in agreement for a while and needed to hammer out details so there could be less time between news break and official announcement.

I think having jay/pederson in center is exactly why you want to carry Engel also. I’d guess the bench would be Leury, Sanchez, McCann, Engel

A year from now Basabe could be a major leaguer. Bryce Bush might not be in AA. This logic fails too

Yup you can’t count on competing but you’ve created a situation where if prospects succeed, they’re rewarded with a good team around them

Putting a mystery team out there during the Friday news dump is hilarious to me. “Stew on that all weekend ya dopes!”

I can’t believe the national baseball media is still sitting with its tail between its legs

There's plenty I don't understand about the human condition, but the need for so many people to make fake insider pages is up at the top.

self proclaimed breaker of the JA Happ trade apparently

Ah Journalistic standards in the internet age. What a wonderful thing.

yup

Yeah I think you're right actually

So when does Cubs Convention actually start? That's my very last hope that it happens before spring training.

Way ahead of you
