I'd prefer to throw in McCann instead of Collins. Apparently Narvaez is talk of the town due to his offense and a few teams need catching.

If I was a gambling man I'd have the Sox and Twins above the Reds. Twins have money, need pitching bad, and the window is open now.

Positive. He made a comment to a reporter about bat flipping in an April or May game or whenever it was. It was early in the year.

Something to think about. Kipnis got red assed when Tim bat flipped against Cleveland this year early in the season and took a shot at him in the media. I'm not sure if he is one of the no fun guys or not, just something I recall.

You had Mets guys saying yesterday or the day before that the White Sox are front runners and Wheeler wouldn't be back. There is SOMETHING.

Wsd had an article today too. I just think the Yolmer thing was done in preperation, they had another week to non-tender. Grandal signed the day before anybody even knew.

No.

I wouldn't mind grabbing a LH depth piece with some pop.

I want all of the unbridled speculation. All of it.

Danny Mendick.

?????

I get the argument but it was probably decided awhile ago Yolmer was not going to be a part of the team at that price. Those other guys are just fodder and depth if nothing else. The timing is definitely really weird though.

Because Zack Wheeler.

The Kinander redemption arc continues.

??? It was such a ridiculous comment and still is.

Nice.

Cmonn

Yeah I asked him directly on a White Sox Facebook page. He basically said he's not going to give any other information on it.

Can you stop trolling with the Billy Hamilton shit?

Bumgarner pitched in a fucking airport for half his games and still gave up 30 HR. He had a 504 slugging % and 840 OPS against him on the road. That translates to terrible moving into a smaller park. If they can't land Wheeler they need to make a trade.

If you read any of these "insider" tweets it sounds like he's close to signing. So probably sometime in January.

This is how I feel too. If you miss on Wheeler you pretty much have to go after Cole or Stras. I mean Ryu wouldn't be awful, I guess? But after him there is nobody I would want. They would have to trade.

6 years 132 million for Wheeler? Lol.

Abreu's extension was awful. So no, not better spent.
